Albert Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 How would you like to own a one-of-a-kind, hand-knit sweater featuring some of your favorite Atari 2600 games, while at the same time contributing to the tsunami relief efforts? AtariAge user gospeedde has created an original Howard Scott Warshaw commemorative sweater, which she has graciously donated to be auctioned on eBay to help the tsunami relief efforts. A full 100% of the auction's proceeds will be donated to AmeriCares, a disaster relief & humanitarian organization now working in the area devastated by the tsunami, and AtariAge will pay the shipping for the sweater to any global destination served by the US Postal Service. Don't miss out on this opportunity to help a worthy cause and pick up a very unique piece of Atari memorabilia! You can bid on the sweater here--Good luck!

tiggerthehun Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Great idea - and a wonderful cause... but, I am a bit confused... Wasn't this sweater given away in a contest a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Yep (I won it). But Gateway had mentioned in the original sweater thread (get it? sweater? thread? ) the idea of donating it for a worthy cause, and I thought that was a good idea, since the tsunami happened right around the time of the contest. So I mentioned it to gospeedde, and she liked the idea, so there you go. I'd also like to point out that gospeedde sent me another very cool sweater as a replacement for the contest prize. She's an extremely generous person, and the sweater is awesome (excellent quality, and really comfy). Whoever ends up with the Atari one will be very happy wearing it, plus they'll get additional warm fuzzies from donating to a worthy cause.

Albert Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Sigh, not one snipe huh. Yeah, I'm a bit surprised by that as well, but eBay can be pretty unpredictable. The person who won the sweater will love it, you did a fantastic job of knitting it. I'm jealous! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
