jerrycray Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 On Sunday Jeff said,"The Dunk Tank was a bad idea".I thought it was a great idea for charity and a lot of laughs.I bought a ticket to initially dunk his ass. I was about ten people back on line. Just before I went a Woman offered not to throw the balls if she could just shake his hand and he agreed. Once my turn came I offered an extra $10.00 not to throw if he would sign my new N.Y. State W1LCO license plate."Make it 20.00 and it's a deal" he said. So I said,Okay and I'll throw in another $10.00 if you play Wishful Thinking. Which he honored. You're a good man Jeff and thank you for all your music and and great experience this weekend.I would love to see some pictures of this if they're out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emvecchione Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I managed to snag a few from the dunk tank - great to stumble onto that. They're too big to post here but I can send you a couple. Also I recognize that license plate, I definitely passed you on the way home Saturday night! Cheers Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tried and true Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Very clever thinking, you deal-makers! Jeff was, naturally, hilarious in the dunk tank. After a little girl took her first shot, he yelled "You throw like a little girl!" He was also trying to discourage the crowd from trying to dunk him. The folks selling the tickets yelled "buy a ticket and support the arts," to which Jeff dryly replied "The arts are overrated." The entire weekend felt like a surreal dream to me. Attempting to dunk Jeff Tweedy in a dunk tank...definitely one of the most surreal moments of my life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Irony: Dunking John Stirratt for the same amount of money that he looks like on that specific $10 dollar bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
