[Bid2BeatAIDS](http://www.bid2beataids.com/) is a huge entertainment memorabilia auction, with proceeds going to LIFEbeat, the music industry’s AIDS fundraising and service charity. LIFEbeat has earmarked a portion of the proceeds for the NO/AIDS Task Force, New Orleans’ local AIDS service organization. To bid go to [eBay](http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZbid2beataids). I’m not going to tell you what I’ve bid on because I don’t want you to outbid me. But I wonder if this is really an effective way to raise money. Will the public respond and bid well? ---

Dang it! I’ve gotten beat on one item. But there are still 3 items I’m winning the bid on … 4 days and roughly 5 hours left.
