Hello friends.
FYI
Jeff will be auctioning off a private concert in your home for you and 29 friends during his performance.
I hope to see y'all there. Hoping our event isn't getting old hat to you. At the very least Jeff is never "old hat".
This year you will be able to watch and donate live on line http://www.letterstosantachicago.com
Thanks guys!

what exactly is this...? My friend told me she was a member of Second City and that she could by tickets to the Jeff Tweedy portion, but I'm not sure if she knows what she's talking about. Can anyone prove her right please haha, because I'll be in Chicago that day and I've been wanting to see a solo show since I first discovered them in 07. Yeah, I'm a newcomer I suppose.
Anyone can buy a ticket. Being a "member" of Second City is not more or less helpful. The tickets are available ONLY at the door. $15 tickets will be available at the door the evening of the show. I hope you decide to come. It is pretty special.

Just so you all know... I realize the post office has flipped out but we are trying to reign them back in ourselves. That's right. You heard me. We are going to attempt to bring the USPS back to it's senses. Until then no worries. We have a line on a local non-spiritual charity thats serves the Chicagoland community and we WILL have letters. Please consider writing WBEZ 848 and maybe we can all get the ball rolling! Thanks guys!

I have set up a Facebook page for the 2009 Letters To Santa Benefit at Second City.
Last year was unbelievable! I am so grateful not only to Jeff & Sue but also to all of you. You can't imagine how many lives were changed forever last Christmas morning. Each family received not only presents and hundreds of dollars in gift cards but thousands of dollars in cold hard cash- up to $10,000! I visited one family last week and taped a follow-up interview with them. I have posted it on Facebook.
I will continue to send updates when I get more details!
