Charity Auction Blackmailing Matt Davis

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 2:00 PM

I've got an audio recording of Matt Davis singing Karaoke at last night's Mercury holiday party. His choice of song? Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better."

You know you want to hear it.

I'll make you all a deal that's making Davis squirm: The online charity auction has raised, as of right now, $5,600.

If it hits $7,000 by 5 pm today--that's in three hours--I'll post all two and a half minutes of Davis' crooning.

Bid on any item, here. Or, chip in a donation directly to the Portland Women's Crisis Line here--and I'll count it towards our $7K goal.

Because nobody does it beeeeettttterrrrrrr than Blogtown readers...

Or - you could auction off the recording to make the goal. Xmas charity blackmail.

Karaoke makes my ears bleed. I was hanging in the VoiceBox lobby after 9 pm, and I was pleased to discover that the various rooms are indeed soundproofed.

I thought the idea would've been to encourage people to donate... not make them want to steal all your charity auction items and donations just so $7,000 is never, ever, EVER reached.

I don't know Amy,
I listened to him singing later in the night he sounded ok. I can't recall what it was, but it was a decent rendition of it. Now, for the purpose of full disclosure, I was invited as a guest by Matt...
thanks

You sang Oasis with somebody else???

Excuse me. I have to go cry myself to sleep.

In San Francisco.

Where I live now.
