Honestly, I think if someone gave me this, I'd have to kill myself (Daniel, don't even think about bidding). Direct from eBay, Wavy Gravy will come plant his fat old hippie tuchus on your couch and bore you silly, if you pay him enough. Let's go to the press release:
For the winning bidder, it’s a night made in hippy heaven. Wavy will come to their party, Woodstock DVD in hand, as host and master of ceremonies. He’ll tell stories about Woodstock and his other legendary encounters, sing a song, read poetry, sign autographs, and bless the space in a way only Wavy Gravy can.
I think that means he'll leave hairs on the furniture. Ewgh.

Another hippie-hating liberal here (though I do love '60s music.) And I live in the Midwest's hippie haven--Madison, WI! I grew up in an era of hippie revival, what with Phish and Dave Matthews and (shudder) the String Cheese Incident. I have a Cartman-like distaste for them. Cut off your fake dreadlocks and get a job, kid!
I say we start a collection plate, and give this to Rod for Christmas.
Did some checking last night, and came to find out Owsley, The Acid King of Haight Ashbury back in the day, is still with us. (Whether that's good or bad is entirely your decision ;)).
So, maybe for an extra twenty bucks or so, Mr. Gravy (as I actually read him referred to) will throw in Owsley as a Special Guest in this Magical Mystery Tour.
Can wait to find out.
(PS: Did anyone know Gravy's original last name was Romney? I wonder if he's Mitt's burnout uncle or something like that).
On the bright side, the Ben and Jerry's ice cream named after him is yummy!
You know, one good thing that Wavy Gravy did is to co-found the Seva Foundation, which provides sight to the blind, midwifery and prenatal care, clean water, help with education, and assistance to Native American youth. There are 45 million blind people in the world--most of them blind due to cataracts that could be corrected with a fifteen-minute operation that costs fifty dollars. I'd bid on Wavy Gravy and let him sit on my couch, too, if it meant a blind woman could see again. Go to seva.org and you can check it out for yourself.
