2009 Fund Raiser Grand Prize
I wanted to establish a thread for this so that it can be bumped with information.
You all remember the Omnibus that Ari won of course
It is still in transit to Robin in the UK and when it gets back, I will arrange a time for our favorite author to sign it.
Could be months, he was just in Maine (or is now as far as I know). But that's okay, it makes it fun.
I'll add another pic when it gets back. Congratulations again Ari

Congrats again, Ari!!!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Oooohhhh...very nice!

In my email from Robin this morning.
Hi! They arrived safely! I was going to email you this afternoon!
I'll sign and get them back to you really soon! Sorry about the delay.
I hope all is well with you!
Take care! (And by the way, I'm happy to do this!)
All the best,
Robin

It's my pleasure, I can't wait till you actually get it.
If you are coming to the US, we might be able to find a way to get it to you here. Also, I sent the other prize you won out to you so you wouldn't have to wait that long for it

I got this book today in the mail! I was so excited to see it return, this thing has been literally all over the world and in the hands of some very wonderful people.
Speaking of which, Robin Furth is so generous and cool. She took special time and care with this prize to get it back to us. I really appreciate her and everything she did. Anyway, here's how it looks now.
I am so very proud of this accomplishment. The fund raiser has a reputation of giving away some amazing things and this collectible has got to be right up there with it. On to King!

Yes, though jealous, I'm also very happy for Ari !! It's nice that it's gone to someone in our collector family, for sure.

Thanks to Matt and (Peter David, Jae Lee, Richard Isanove, Robin Furth and Stephen King) and congrats to Ari. You lucky dog!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Wow, awesome! You lucky duck Ari!

Book has been signed! Not sure if it is personalized but I should have it in my hands soon and it will be sent out.
This Grand Prize really should be subtitled "The Long Road Home".
Can't wait till I can get it out to you Ari.

This may be controversial but.......Not taking a sliver of a thing away from Ari (Congrats BTW you lucky dog!!) In a lot of ways this book and all that goes into it is a part of the DT.Com site and the folks that make it happen. There should be some sort of ongoing memorial? Maybe a click thru on the donation wall? something, that keeps it a part of this site and its amazing members. I may be totally off base but, seems to me it would serve as an incentive for future fund raisers and a source of pride (like the statement from Sk) for all. Again, I don't want to take anything away from Ari he certainly deserves it but, something this cool should be in, I don't know, a museum? so to speak? So shouldn't there be a more visible? reminder of it? Sort of an electronic "On display courtesy of Ari" kinda thing?
I don't know, just a thought.
Congrats again Ari!!!!!!!!!!!! As well as all who participated!!

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I didn't understand what is "Sort of an electronic "On display courtesy of Ari" ".
On the other hand, next year I'll be finishing paying my apartment, so I'll be donating more items and money, that you can count on.
