Bid on an autographed Guitar Hero controller for Child's Play (CT approved)

A friend of a friend took a wireless PS2 Guitar Hero controller around at PAX to get it signed by a bunch of people.

Now, the guitar is on eBay, being auctioned off with absolutely 100% of the proceeds going to be donated to Child's Play. You should check it out if you've got some cash laying around. This isn't one of those "hey buy something of mine so I get some money and I'll give some small percentage to Child's Play" things we've seen recently, I promise.

    Are Shoe and I the only ones who got his autograph at PAX?

    I guess it's pretty bad to rip on a charity item though.

    I thought it was going to be sold off for Child's Play.

    Or something like that.

    I fixed Liz's name. I just did a copy/paste earlier. I didn't know her name at all in the first place. And I wasn't the one to take the guitar around or I totally would have found Khoo to sign it.

    The next Star Trek spin-off needs to have Wil Wheaton as the captain, and he better get more alien ass then Kirk, Picard, and Riker combined.
