We are auctioning of a 1950's Silvertone Guitar signed by the band a few weeks ago and a 2007 Sky Blue Sky tour package with autographed poster, shirt and sticker. you can see the auctions here ... guitarhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=130265134679 posterhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=130265133008 All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the nie recovery fund.Stephanie and Christian Nielson were critically injured in a plane crash in August of this year. Stephanie was burned over 80 percent of her body in the accident. She is in a medically induced coma and, while doing as well as can be expected, is given a 60 to 70 percent chance of survival. Christian suffered burns over 35 percent of his body and, while heavily medicated against the pain, is expected to recover. you can read more about it herehttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/fashion/07burn.html?em herehttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26620845/ and learn more about the auctions and other recovery efforts here ...http://www.nierecovery.com special thanks and love to wilco, and everyone at tony margherita management. thanks.

Sir Stewart Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Damn. Vibes to Stephanie and Christian Nielson. What is their connection to Wilco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wow, that's terrible. Guys, read the NYT article linked in the original post. It reminds me so much of how we all banded together here after Nat's death. The internet can create such strong bonds between people who have never met face to face.
