Fame, Fame, Fatal Fame, It Can Play Hideous Tricks On The Brain
Billy Bragg once sang about "the fifteen fame-filled minutes of the fanzine writer."
Now, this isn't really a Decemberists fansite that I write here, but still...

I got a namecheck on the eBay page for Chris Funk's guitar (the charity auction). I tried to buy it myself, but it went too high, too fast. The other guy seems to want it real bad, and has the cash to spare, so, it would be rude of me to put in a higher bid, just to drive up the price, but it is for a good cause...

Other recent namechecks include a thread about me on the Decemberists Message Board, from when I became a moderator.

I'm gonna try real hard and not let this all go to my head. I'm not any kind of insider! I still don't even know what kind of cereal Colin eats, though I do know he prefers American Spirit ciggies.
