I used to love me some Ice Cube back in the day. Phish and Ice Cube. Keep it simple...Back to my point....

There's a really cool place in Clayton called Ivey-Selkirk auctioneers. They have some auctions for the likes of Ted Debiase but then they also have some ghetto ass auctions in the "Jackson Room."

So basically you can either go to the auction and hold up a little card or you can do it marathon style like Jen and I.

Basically you go into this huge room with all sorts of furniture, lights, rugs, paintings- you name it. Everything has a tag, and I mean everything. The fucking light switches on the walls, the pencils they give you, the other people in the room. So you go in the night and do like Jen and I did- bid on everything, as fast as you possibly can.

I guess I didn't know much about absentee bidding but Jen sure showed me how it works. We ran around this room and filled 3 legal pads with items we were bidding on, from 10 duckets to the price of a new set of Ksyrium Sl's.

Then you wait. We waited and waited. We finally admitted defeat and realized that we weren't high rollers and are measly bids couldn't even afford the pencils.

Dat da duh! We were wrong. We WON! I guess that's the hard realization though. You don't win, you buy. We won a good 5 bills worth of stuff including that cool Asian armoire looking thing in the right of the pic, the cost of renting a truck to haul this shit and then Jen throwing her back out helping me move it up the stairs and the subsequent bill from the chiropractor. Damn.

They do have another Ghetto Auction coming up though, check it out. They have some very cool stuff...
