This is your last chance, people! THERE IS ONLY ONE HOUR LEFT IN THE MERCURY CHARITY AUCTION, and already the bidding war is reaching a fever pitch! In the last few hours, the Mercury feature article prize has jumped up hundreds of dollars, while somebody who really wants to pepper spray Matt Davis in the face has driven up the bid to nearly $150. As always, it’s going to be a fight to the finish for the lucky guy (or lady) who wins a date with the sexy girls of the Mercury (currently at $252), as well as winning the “Design the Mercury Cover” prize which always goes for a lot of dough-re-mi (now at $455).
Currently in the lead for most money donated is “Have Your Portrait Taken by Ann Ploeger” (at a whopping $700), closely followed by “Tour the Sewer with Sam Adams” at $616!
But there are still plenty of prizes to win under $100, including Storm Large’s Shoes, Ozzy Osbourne’s autographed baseball bat, Superbowl catering from the Wing Stop, and a private DJ for your next party (currently at only $61?? ARE YOU INSANE???)

There’s only an hour left, people! BID! BID! BID! And know that your precious pennies will really make a big difference to Portland’s homeless (via our charity for this year, SISTERS OF THE ROAD).

What are you waiting for? Crack out that credit card!! NOW!!!
