It is done! For the first time in four years I have actually managed to transfer the donation from Richard’s birthday auctions on the day of his birthday. Before I get to the sum, I would like to give you all another pat on the back. The raised funds turned out to be bigger than…
alkshdalksbdfalsknfdals Literally. I just took a break to have dinner because the thoughts were spinning through my head and I just couldn’t think straight, let alone write a coherent blog post. I am still in shock and I don’t think this is going to be a literary masterpiece, but I owe you a first, provisional…
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…
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…
