As detailed in this weeks' podcast:
Letter to America - A Future Foretold
the Irish Podcast 'Letter to America' is getting a new iPod with Video and hence is selling its dedicated Nano - purchased during the production of the first episode this player has only been used to listen to the show once edited to check for errors.
This iPod Nano will be a future collector's item assuming Jett Loe and Wayne Ordinary American actually get famous and then die in a hellish fireball while performing some sort of bizarre aerial stunt.
The Nano is in fine condition with www.lettertoamerica.blogs.com etched on the back.
The winner of the auction will receive a special personalised message from Wayne and Jett stored as a data file on the Nano as well as a Certificate of Authenticity.
And if this thing only goes for 20 quid then we know no one cares - but that's OK cause we do the show out of LOVE Dear Listener.
Also being auctioned is the original Letter to America camera that was damaged in this incident:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I Give You Nature
Robert at Black and Lizars get couldn't get it working again:
I'm Afraid There Was Nothing We Could Do
and so it has been replaced by an FZ7 - but if you are some sort of technical wiz, (who can defeat Corrosion - our most deadly enemy), or need the accessories this would be suitable.
Good luck and happy bidding!
I'm in for 20 pounds. Just thinking of that special message to myself...mmmmm... warm fuzzy feelings.

I think the bidding should be closed to everyone but Wayne and Thom for the Nano (perhaps though, Wayne is artificially driving up the price?)

Thom IM'd me with the suggestion that 'mugenstyle3' was Wayne but I've got absolute confirmation that it is not.

Oooh . . . mugenstyle3, you're going DOWN!!

know it, mugenstyle3 . . . down . . .

I believe Jett is being truthful here, as I have recently discovered "mugen style" has to do with customizing an automobile, and I'm guessing Wayne hasn't pimped-out his Fiat at anytime past or present.

Oh, I know mugenstyle3 isn't Wayne . . . but (s)he's still going down . . . I want that iPod!

From emails I have gotten I know that mugenstyle3 is an LTA fan who's in the States - more than that I will not reveal...
Posted by: Jett Loe | March 27, 2006 at 05:26 PM
Plus, I never thought I see Phil write the words "I believe Jett is being truthful here..."

So what's a girl to do if she wants an LTA souvenier that neither costs an arm and a leg nor was formerly waterlogged?
Also, rumours of my dismemberment have been greatly exaggerated.

Given the time Jess has been waiting for the competition winner's T-shirt, maybe Jett will branch out with a CafePress(.com) shop!

I think you're onto something Alan - will look into it.
