Sticker contest closed!!
Uh-oh, what have we done?!
We thought, given how expensive it will be to ship 40 lbs or more of stickers, that we would get five, maybe ten responses.
We're overwhelmed with submissions, more than 100. Too many arriving now in our email address that was set up for the auction questions and auction transactions, so the submissions are closed now.
( Fri 8/21/09 7:15pm PST)
Once we look through the submissions, we'll see if we need to open up the contest again.
Crazy people. Crazy ideas.
Fans as weird as we are!

............
If picked up in S.F. at Fillmore show 8/23/09, then shipping costs avoided.
............
Matches' stickers? lots of Matches' stickers?
We have hundreds of stickers.
About 35-40 lbs.
Maybe 4,000 - 5,000.
.. ..
Mostly Decomposer red/black bird stickers.
A few A Band in Hope cover stickers.
About a third are various early EVDKtL era, of various sizez,
black/white or red/white, some bumper stickers with two stickers on it, some
large 6"x4", some square with Henry, some small with
"Matches."
.. ..
Yeah, kind of funny,
kind of sad, kind of ridiculous.
(This many is the result in ome mistake in ordering too many
of our own designs during the EVDKtL period, and a mistake by label Epitaph double
ordering Decomposer stickers.)
.. ..
So…
someone want these? Like all of these?
Some strange art project you can imagine with this resource?
Some décor that will confound the viewer with repeated images?
.. ..
We are not sending out a few at a time or even a hundred or a thousand.
You need to take them all…
.. ..
(Maybe we'll split into two batches.)
.. ..
And the recipient needs to pay the shipping.
.. ..
Email your brilliant idea and your plea to be chosen to receive
this echo of the Matches' promotion. Possibly no one will respond and these
will end up in the dump.
Maybe just one will be inspired to request these.
.. ..
Maybe several people submit, and we'll choose which one idea is
most impressive or amusing or inspiring or strange.
.. ..
All we ask of the one who gets these is that we receive email with photos and some
stories of the process and response your effort receives when the project is
complete, and we get to share this with the Matches' community.
.. ..
email your request and ideas to: thematchesauction@gmail.com
email subject (very important: it must have this): STICKERS
REQUEST ["your last name, first initial (in the subject, not just in the
body of the email)"]
