THE FINAL SALE

My version of All My Life for Sale wasn't extremely successful on eBay. In other words, I wasn't good about posting my things for sale one item at a time.

But, now, as I am making a move to Seattle in early March, everything really must go. This garage sale-style event will serve as a goodbye party and a chance for my friends, and perhaps some random people, to own a little piece of my life.

Throughout the party, I'll be sharing my memories of the things I've collected and telling the stories of why I have so many random collections.

The final sale will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, February 28 at my apartment in Lafayette, Louisiana.

GAP SHIRT: Item No. 000020

A lot of the shirts I own are from the Gap. This short-sleeve, button-up shirt is 100% cotton, size XXL. It was made in Sri Lanka.

I use to have a habit of shopping the Gap clearance every weekend. Now that I'm trying to minimize my life's bulk, this is the first among many Gap brand shirts that has to go.

OK, so I've been struggling to really get the word out about the project, so I've been a little bummed. A majority of the items I'm listing aren't selling, and I suspect it's because many people aren't aware of AMLFS3. So, if you could, please spread the word.

Until then, the next item up for grabs is, well, up for grabs. Click on the item name to place your bid.

D'ANNUNZIO SHIRT: During my freshman year at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kan., I hosted a localized version of "Singled Out" (the dating game from MTV). I was the "Chris Hardwick," so I went to The Buckle and bought this D'Annunzio shirt. It's size XL, 100% polyester and Made in the U.S.A.

Item No. 000016
COLLEGE SHOT GLASS: On one side of this shot glass, "COLLEGE" is printed in all capital letters. Printed on the other side is "The best six years of my life." The shot glass was a "gift" for filling out a credit card application when I was at Kansas State. There were far too many of these free gifts throughout my four and a half years in college.




Item No. 000017
THE BIG BANG SHOT GLASS: While attending a conference in St. Louis, I met a girl named Elizabeth Taylor (no joke). She was from Oklahoma, and we ended up going to The Big Bang, a piano bar where we stayed until last call. I bought this shot glass to remember that bar. And Elizabeth Taylor.

'THIRD & HEAVEN': This novel by Ben Patrick Johnson was given to me by my friend Brad who said it took him a while to get through it. I read the first chapter twice, but never read any more of the book. All I can tell you is it's about a group of friends who regularly meet at a diner.

OK, this will be the end of VHS tapes for a little while. But I do have quite a collection, and someone out there is bound to still have a VCR, right? (Seriously, am I the only one?)

'BIG DADDY' ON VHS: One of my roommates gave me this movie as a Christmas gift when I was at Kansas State. I hadn't seen the movie, and she thought it would be one of my favorites. I watched it once.

'SAVE THE LAST DANCE' ON VHS: This is one of my favorite movies. It is part of a VHS collection I started when I lived with my best friend Heather in Coralville, Iowa. Every Sunday we would treat ourselves to a new VHS at Target. It became a weekly ritual, and it is why I have as many movies as I do.
