Decisions decisions....
A Band in Hope.
I'll go get started on that...
Or, you could help diminish world hunger...or help the AIDS movement.
I feel that maybe a combination of those two along with a CD player and ONE copy of A Band In Hope per person will suffice. Maybe a translator too for those of other nationalities.
Ich werde du helfen!
Danke,
Emily
I actually have thought about this before, and how much the US is wasting money that could benefit so many people, including supplying the globe with A Band In Hope.
Good to know that other people out there are also aware.
Futile wars are stupid and wasteful.
Kudos to you for posting this.
as Kelso from That '70s Show would say...
"BURN!"
thanks Shawnee. I'll rock your world, you'll rock mine. =)
Hmmmmm, Buy everyone A Band In Hope! Well can i get my family out of debt? That would help, shawn you rock!!

i think i little band in hope will make the world a batter place
:DD
I'm going to spend the rest of my night on the site. This is amazing.
I have two copies of ABIH in my house. Hows about I buy myself some nice socks that I need?
Or maybe the entire boxed set of Full House?
Or some tissues for my best friend who's suffering a nosebleed?!
I owe you.

What a great idea of a site.
So far I've cured a world disease, ended poverty for a year, bought some pretty sweet shoes, gotten my favorite artist to make an album for me, and bought about 200 copies of a band in hope.
i would say world domination, but then again buying an unlimited supply of jelly beans would rock as well... i'll have to sleep on my desison
George Bush makes me really sad. Angry too. This site just intensifies those feelings. It's a smart way to show people how much money is being wasted. What's worse is the lives that are being lost and/or destroyed. Our world is basically forever changed because of this administration's deceit and their selfish decisions.

id buy you shawn
Dude, I'm sitting here buying the cure for diseases, teaching the world to read, educating the world about Islam [I'm not even Islamic], AND buying myself a shitload of awesome stuff. Yeah, SanFran is now mine~
Thank you, American governemnt.
I just bought microsoft.
Take that, bill gates.
As well as 4000 dollars worth of a band in hope, and i cured world hunger for a year. I also achieved universal literacy, cured a deadly disease, and bought world peace.
This is a great way to raise awareness for how fucked up things like this are.
This really puts a new light on things.
November fourth is not coming quickly enough. (even though that may not change the state that we are in, and certainly will not alter what has previously happened)
Good call with the site, although that is quite a heafty amount of 'a band in hope's'. (wouldn't the cost of making them have to be worked in?)
I bought myself a life. Joy!
That's ridiculous!
That bastard makes me sick to my stomach.
you find the most interesting things Shawn, you really do.
I'd buy everyone on Earth A Band In Hope.
Music makes everything better.
If everyone listened to ABIH, there would be no violence.
=)
if we could buiy 32 copies of a band in hope per person, why wouldn't we give them 10 of each of the 3 albums and some a band in hope stickers? :D
oddly enough, in my ap gov class we are watching National Geographic's Path to 9-11. I think everyone should watch it at some point because you wouldn't believe how many times the Clinton Administration had chances to stop things from happening but didn't for one reason or other. I wouldn't put the blame of all that has happened on a single man let alone a single administration.
I think if I had 3 trillion dollars I would spend it on all sorts education programs...the worst thing about living today is the amount of "knowledge" people have and yet somehow they still don't get it.
Pshh $13.99? We could probably buy everyone like 40 copies of A Band In Hope if we got them at Best Buy. And think how much better off everyone would be with 8 more!
This is probably the saddest... and niftiest thing I've seen all day.
Well, there was something funnier, I just forgot what it was.
It's just depressing. I'll look into this more later.
<3
It was surprisingly hard to fill that shopping cart. Even though I did follow up on my belief more people should own your album, and thus somehow ended up putting down almost 2000 copies of it.
I was surprised how many things weren't on there, to be honest. No museums, nothing by Picasso. There are definitely better ways to spend money than war. But I think not enough people think about what they are.
...on a lighter note!
I got home today from yesterday's show.
And I JUST finished uploading all my photos.
...only 5 were of people in other bands. =^]
And that picture of you and me is now my display picture on... everything. =^]
The show was AMAZING.
I've got an amazing story telling how nice some people are!!! =^]
(which was the LAST thing I expected)
So I went to the show in my A Band In Hope Pre-Order shirt, got 3 copies of the AP poster of you boys, and sat in the old-people stands with my old man.
I saw Matt walk by the door we were sitting by so I stood up and ran to him... that boy walks REALLY fast and I missed him... 3 times. -.- (tell him to slow down =^]) Then, Sonny (finally) got off stage. So, I grabbed my old man and said "You're tall, you're comin' with me!" and we went to the side of the stage where you'd enter. You walked by, Jon walked by, Justin walked by, my dad took pictures the girls sitting on the edge took pictures with our camera... Then, ya'll got on stage and said we all smelt like shit then started playing Salty Eyes. Almost made me cry but I thought "NO! You can't cry, your make up will run and then the pictures will end up horrible!" so I was able to hold back. It was BEAUTIFUL! =^] Anyways- So after Salty Eyes, these girls left where they were, and my dad and I got closer. Then, I continued to try to get the whole crowd around me pumped up and jumpin' (Such non-enthusiastic people!) and I was singing along and jumping and acting absolutely insane... then, this girl turned around and said "OH GIRL! You move up, you get as close as you possibly can." (I said thank you) and then she pushed me infront of her. Then she started pushing me forward and people moved out of the way and helped her get me closer. Then, I ended up against the speaker like 5 people away from being at the rail. Then, as I continued my mega dorky fan attitude that is me, this girl saw me trying to take a picture with my phone. So she said "Here, let me help." and she took my phone and took this AMAZING picture. =^] Then, she said "You know what? Here." and she pulled me infront of her and pushed me to where I was only behind 2 people, a boy and his girlfriend. And thats where I was the rest of the show. And before Their City, you turned around and the crowd was like silent... and I took the opportunity and I screamed "I LOVE YOU!" then some of the girls around me screamed "SHE LOVES YOU!" and pointed to me. Big fun, big fun. Then, after the show, I told them all "Thank you!" and I got out and walked to the edge where you were exiting... and then I went and bought some merch. =^]
Well, after a while, Jon came out to the area where all the merch was being sold. So I jumped up and ran to make sure it was him and it was and I got my old man to come with me (cause I'm short... so I couldn't take a picture by holding my arm out and still get both of us in) and I stood so that I could get to him but not be in other people's pictures. And then, this mom saw me, and after her daughter's picture with Jon was taken, she tapped his shoulder and said "Get a picture with her, please, she's obviously a big fan." and he did. =^] And so I didn't have to wait for a bunch of people to get out of my way. =^] (I know, at concerts you can be agressive and get what you want... but I hate when people push me out of my way so I just fill up empty space and I was so happy that the crowd was so nice to me, I was willing to wait for Jon to sign my stuff and take a picture with me again and be really nice =^]) And that was AWESOME. So many people were nice and respectful, it was great. =^]
And then I saw you after the show and you signed my stuff and took a picture with me... because you're amazing. =^]
Did you do an accoustic show afterwards in Charlotte last night? Because my ride was all "lets go get food" (cause we hadn't eaten yet) and wouldn't let me wait to find out. *tear*
In the end, I had an AMAZING night.
The show was so amazing I can't describe it.
You boys took my breathe away (and my voice =^])
And I feel accomplished because I was able to walk up to you without being pushed... which is a first. I mean, I stood in line for 48 minutes last time I met you and still had to get pushed to do it because I was so nervous.
And this time... I just was like "DAD! Camera ready! GO!" and went for it. =^]
Next time... maybe I'll be able to catch you sooner and actually say something meaningful and have a conversation? Thats the goal!
Wish me luck?
<3
Holy crap^
Did not read that.
aww that was so nice...i cant believe people at a show would switch places with you so you could be closer...people around here just push you outta the way, stand on top of you or basically jump on you...not good...
EXACTLY! I was shocked too. Normally I get pushed out of the way cause I'm so short and small that it's pretty easy for taller people to push me out of the way. Sure, I push back... but it doesn't do a lot of good.
So I was shocked and thought I'd share that the concert was amazing not just the show but how nice the crowd was.
Like... I don't have a clue what was going on in their minds but it was absolutely amazing and I was sure to say "Thank you!" a lot to them all. I just hope other people have an amazing experience like that. =^]
...I'd spend $3 trillion to have it happen again.<3
operation: ABIH is go.
p.s. - i'm horribly stoked for y'alls show tomorrow. my friends and i are even being giant dorks and making our own t-shirts. (they're pretty badass)
Do you know that you can buy lunch with you and mikey way for $100 on that site. Also there is a concert with the matches, My chem, This is Ivy league and the magnetic fields. I spent several hours tonight now buying stuff on there. Fun fun.
Haha, I just bought Lunch With Mikey Way And Shawn Harris...
Best $100 I (n)ever spent.
And a bajillion copies of ABIH...
And Amelie for the whole world, because it makes me smile.
=)
And Universal Literacy.
-sigh-
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
OBAMA '08.
All dreams fulfilled at 1.5 trillion *sigh*
Mismanaged funds leads to Depressions
I wonder how long it took to put that site together...
and as much as I love(d) virtually saving the world, I'm more curious as to what you would buy, Shawn.
Location, location, location.
Money doesn't make sense.
Hey Shawn, if your reading this (most likely not, your probabley reallly busy!)
but i fell in love with the matches a year ago and. you cant possibley have any idea how excited i am to see you all tomarrow :)
Hey Susie...
I have an idea.
=^]
Have fun! I had loads when I went.
Be sure to jump and act crazy, k?
Cause from what I saw, I was the only one (other than my dad) that was really getting into it at the show I went too. =^]

the show was insanely intense last night, i left disgustingly sweaty, bruised, and ridiculously happy :) you guys were amazing
Shawn- I am astounded by your ability to puruse the internet and find the most interesting things!
I've spent maybe, 2 trillion dollars after a total of 6 hours wasted on wishful thinking.
Ohwells.... I heard you parléd with my friend Jeeyoon last night. Or tonight. It's midnight so it's all relative.
I hope you enjoyed my mix and I hope that Jon, Justin, or Matt enjoyed the cookies. I'm sorry that evil temptress tried to persuade you to be de-veganized.
On a semi-related topic... "Clouds Crash" was on the recomend list at ap.net.
here.
This site is brilliant and sad at the same time. Thanks for sharing this. :]
And excuse me, a copy of A Band In Hope for everyone worldwide is more of a default purchase. I should get you guys a world tour as well. Your live shows are amazing, everyone should see at least one.
So as I was shopping for universal literacy and cures for deadly diseases, I stumbled across this:
one billion
THOUGHTS?
I found it amusing and couldn't help myself... and clicked purchase. :D
...would it really cost that much to have lunch with you and have you as a personal stylist?
If so... You'd be one really expensive date.

A world full of ABIH. Religion and borders to be abolished. World cultures approach one culture. It becomes so concentrated and dense a structure leading to the societal Big Bang, which will once fracture us into factions. Utopia approaches dystopia.
How can it not be war that you promote? It will always be.
I'd buy you 3 trillion dollars worth of this:

oh ghey it doesn't even show the whole url.....
http://www.jermpollet.com/images/more%20pics/Ice %20Cream%20Cones%20Thumbs.gif
Yea...just take out that space.
i never realized that a band in hope sounded quite similar to "abandon hope". duh, me.
Choose an identity?
I have a choice?
I choose to not exist.
1 copy of A Band in Hope. 1 Copy of Decomposer. 1 Copy Of E. Von Dahl... Like emahlee said.. A personal cd player.. although I'm thinking with the Mp3 player craze, some might wrinkle their noses. So maybe an Ipod shuffle preloaded with those albums. And for those without computers, a source of energy to charge it from.
I should be in Little Rock...
that site is so brainwashing. it tricks u into thinking whats good and whats not.
This site is amazing. It is amazing what the three trillion dollars could buy and the difference it could make. Instead it is used to kill others in a pointless war.
if I had three trillion dollars I would make sure that music never dies in American schools, and I would probably buy MTV and put it out of it's misery.
I bought 1000 copies of A Band In Hope , after reading AP's issue with the interview. Yawl won't have to get day jobs now. Please continue to write peculiar music. :)
