The Official Iced Tea Forever.com Dinner (though not billed as such!) was sold at auction for the ridiculously overpriced sum of $35 per plate! Our church fundraising auction was a big success and a lot of fun too. I love auctions.
And to all my skeptics, no, I don’t realize any profits from this! It all goes for the building fund cause.
Overpriced as it was, the ITF meal tickets were a downright bargain compared to my buddy Kyle’s (he’s an esteemed ITF commenter too) seasoned pork tenderloin dinner! My wife and I wanted tickets to it, so I got in position to bid when it came up on the auction block. I got in a bid or two, but was quickly put out of the running. It moved way beyond my league!
Fortunately for me, my brother-in-law was the high bidder and gave me and my wife a couple tickets. What a guy! He definitely gets a comp ticket to the ITF dinner.
It turned out that (unbeknownst to him) it was my other brother-in-law bidding him up!
Oh yeah, the price. Try $80 bucks a head.
Looking forward to it Kyle.

The pleasure shall be mine. The thought of hosting the Iced Tea Forever crew sends chills down my somewhat humbled spine. ComonComment looks forward to the event. And there shall be tons of food. Hopefully.
