Just to let you know, we are now beginning the long journey towards conclusion. The first of the final hours has just begun. We are counting down with the Porter Fan Pack first. And after that it will be another ending every 2 to 3 minutes. I have made a cup of tea. And I…
Ok, I’ll spare you my usual long-winded intros. You made it. We passed another milepost. This is what we are at: Overnight we received a few bid updates. However, the bigger push have probably been two further donations to the fund. And thus at 9am this morning, we pipped past the post and are now…
Whoa. Today was an eventful day. There was Richard arriving in Seoul, thoroughly documented by the Korean fans *gomabseubnida*, and then there was a bit of a controversy that I am putting down to cultural differences. It’s regrettable when it’s fans vs fans, no matter who started it. I so wish that issues and differences…
Did I say somewhere that there were going to be twice-daily updates???? 🤔 Forgive me, I was momentarily distracted by a floppy fringe and 80s revival glasses… It’s a little bit too early to already talk about the last 24 hours. Yet we also have already passed the half-way mark in the Birthday Auctions. In…
After alerting Korea of his imminent arrival last night, Richard emerges with a new look at Incheon Airport and is greeted by his Korean fans. Here are some great pictures and videos as seen on Twitter. (I’ll try and update the Twitter Moment if there is more.) Richard in Korea again What do you think…
In 2017 we had the milestone series. Last year I called them “Landmarks”. This year I have settled on mileposts. And here is milepost #1. As of this evening, we have passed the first big milepost. Thanks to your bids we are currently at a total of 1,020 Euro. That converts to 1,131 $ or…
Good afternoon! We are now 24 hours live with the birthday auctions – time to have a first look and get some updates on where we are at. In fact, I had planned to give a first update last night, but to tell you the honest truth: I was wrecked. It literally took me all…
Three cheers and a hooray! We are finally live with the 2019 RA Birthday Auctions, running for the next three days to conclude on Tuesday, 20 August. This year is bigger, better – more awesome than ever. We have a total of 27 (twenty-seven!) auctions running – that’s not counting the private auction happening via…
The day has come. Today the eBay auctions will go live later this afternoon. Until then I still have a bit of work ahead of me – the individual auctions have to be set on eBay. That means a lot of clicking, uploading of photos and copy/pasting of text. Especially since we have the record…
This weekend the fun starts: So, in case you haven’t quite caught the gist of it: The fan auctions in honour of RA’s birthday will start tomorrow and run until Tuesday to facilitate transferring the donation on Richard’s birthday on Thursday. Richard once said about gifts “I do, however, wish to ask, (…) as I…
