"Hello, this is John...."

How would you like to pick up the phone and hear those words?  It could happen!

We are going to make the holiday season merrier for one lucky John Wetton fan by auctioning off a phone call from John. Get the scoop on the new Asia album, discuss your favorite song lyrics, ask about his holiday shopping....anything! It's your call, literally!

John has graciously agreed to this truly "grand" prize because inflation has hit our website. Costs are up, especially for the guestbook, but we certainly don't want to cut back on any of the services provided to John's fans. So we've decided to offer up an auction every few months to help cover the costs. There will be rare memorabilia, more phone calls, and who knows what else we'll come up with!

We hope you will help by joining the fun of the auction. We'll begin to accept bids at 8AM on Monday, November 2nd, with the final bids accepted by 11PM on Monday, November 30th. All times are US Eastern. The call will be made during the second week of December, with the exact date and time to be decided between John and the winner.

To take part in the auction, e-mail your name and your bid to bakerloo2@aol.com. We will start the bidding at $150.00. I will update the bids on November 6th, 13th, 20th and 29th, posting the highest bid at that time on the "news" page of the website, the guestbook, and via the JW IINFOLeTTeR. All bid updates will be anonymous. Only the name of the winner will be announced. (NOTE: any bid submitted before the official start of the auction will be eliminated) The winning bid must be paid in full (via PayPal, US money order, or international money order) by December 12th.

Good luck to all, and thank you very much for helping to keep the Official John Wetton Website in operation!
