Bid Now to Attend An Evening With Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, Tony Bennett, President Bill Clinton and more..

Dear Diana Krall Fan Club Member,
We have exciting news!

VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation has announced that a live auction is now under way on eBay for one pair of tickets to attend “An Evening with Diana Krall & Friends” at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on Sunday, April 23, 2006. Diana will be joined by her friends Tony Bennett, Elton John, husband Elvis Costello andformer United States President William J. Clinton at this black tie charity benefit. Proceeds from the event will help pioneer “made-in-B.C. cures” for blood-related cancers and diseases at Vancouver General Hospital. The event includes a cocktail reception and exquisite dinner, silent and live auctions and live performances in a small, intimate setting. The tickets are valued at $2,000 Cdn.

I would be there if I had a few thous. to spare.

Ok so this went into the wrong area??? although it is about a DK concert and although there is already a post about this concert. But when I got the email from the DKfan club about the tickets available on e-bay, I thought wouldn't that be the ultimate.... spend an evening with Diana on the piano in a setting that you would be close enough to actually see her and not from way off in a large concert hall...... would be awesome to say the least. I couldn't imagine anyone else that I would be tempted to spend that kind of money to see..... and have the money go to charity would be even more gratifying. Unfortunately I don't run in that $$$$ league.

I don't have those dollars either. (DOH-lars, in Canadian, eh?) But Michelle mentioned it's not a concert as much as a fundraiser. I guess such events help funnel the big money from the few to the many.

I think it's a fantastic way for DK to contribute back to something that is very close to her.

My post was more of a tongue in cheek ... I wish I could afford it... what a fantastic way to see DK play .... post. Just a dry sense of humour that I thought might get more of a reaction... but I'll just stick my head into the sand again.
