What would you do with $2000?

by **hoagiepete** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:40 pm

I need to purchase a $2000 item for our Foundation's auction (not my money by the way). I'm struggling trying to find something cool that people would enjoy.

Last year I split the donation up into two: A weekend trip that featured 5th row seats at a sold out Elton John/Billy Joel concert, hotel and dinner; and a golf trip for two to TPC at Sawgrass.

What would you like to do if you were given $2000 to do whatever you wanted with?

The hottest thing out is still the iPad. While that won't use the entire $2,000, I think an iPad, a 4G phone and a weekend getaway might be entice someone and also give them the reassurance that they're getting a lot of bang for their (donated) buck.

Dokken's had one decent song since 1987, 1999's Erase the Slate from the album with the same name....after that....HORRIBLE stuff. And that includes LSA - which is SO overrated..... :lol:

Dude, the only bad album Dokken has ever put out was Shadowlife, and it's even good by a different standard -- just not as a Dokken album. I have 22 bonus Dokken tracks that have appeared on Japanese releases, compilations, etc. over the years and there's hardly a bum track among even those. Whether you like Don or not, he's one of the most solid melodic hard rock writers out there.

Here's a treat for ya...

"Shadowlife" blows chunks in almost every way. The band that did that album forgot what they were in search of sounding like a cookie cutter band for popularity's sake.

As for S2M's comment about LSA...It's a great album. I wasn't hopeful but I think they pulled through on that one. There are a couple of duds but, overall, I think it ruled.
