The Wheel auction 2009

October 20, 2009: For immediate release:

In honor of Jordan Rudess' birthday on November 4,The Wheel, Jordan Rudess International Fanclub, will auction some very rare and exclusive Jordan Rudess items.
All funds raised by the auction will go to a charity, personally chosen by Jordan Rudess himself.

This year, the funds will go to a wonderful organisation called the "Central Asia Institute". Some of you may have read the bestselling book "Three cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson.
This is a story about Greg Mortenson himself. When descending the infamous K2 mountain, he got lost and was found in a small poor village in Central Asia. There he was helped by generous people and he promised them he would come back to build them a school.
Now, several years later, many schools have been build.
Read more about the book and the institution at: www.threecupsoftea.com and www.ikat.org

 

Now back to the auction.

What's the deal?
* Auction will start at sunday NOvember 1 and will end on friday November 6 at 12:00 CET.
* Only members of the Jordan Rudess online community are allowed to participate in the auction
* The winner has to pay his winning bid by using Paypal

What's in the package?
At this moment we have the following items in the package, but probably we'll have some more stuff once the auction will start.
* The Wheel rainjacket, signed by Jordan Rudess (exclusive wizard drawing by JR on the front)
* Notes on a dream CD, signed by Jordan Rudess
* Weighted synthesizer key, signed by Jordan Rudess
* Sustain pedal used on the road, signed by Jordan Rudess and ace-tech Robert DOrion.

 

Is this all The Wheel is doing?
Nope, 1/3 of all the membership fees collected during the auction-period will be donated as well.
And, the opening bid (to be decided) will be done by The Wheel.

 

So spread the word and join this amazing auction in honor of our friend Jordan Rudess.

Message from the man himself!

The Wheel of life. 
Wow- we have come along way in our keyboard journey!
If you have made it to this point, it must mean that you want to  
travel with us into the future.
That could be pretty cool, since there is a lot that is gonna be  
happening!
With an entire year of Dream Theater touring and a new solo album  
just having been released, the energy is strong!
I'm planning to work with the Wheel staff  to make sure that you  
guys are treated well and get some special treats along the way!
Let The Wheel"  Roll!
I'll be looking for the yellow T-shirts from the stage- so WAVE and  
wear them proudly!
