MikeG, Michael and Listers,

I think it would be a great idea to broadcast the auction via the internet. All Michael would need is a yahoo, AOL, or Skye account and a computer with a cam and a mic and there you go. He could broadcast that and then put out a post on the screen name and when people wanted to view the video, all someone has to do is allow that user to see the video. This is a great idea MikeG and hope Michael or someone else would be able to do this at the auction. For I wont be going to the Gem show and I think auctions are the best to watch and bid on. I know I would be watching for sure if someone sets this up and I think alot of other Listers too. Or the live feed could even come from someones website if they have the ability to do that. Lets hope someone can do this :)

Hi Michael, Greg and List,

Great idea on the mystery box. I love it. :)

It reminds me of the episode of Family Guy where Peter is offered his
choice of a free boat or the "mystery box". And Peter chooses the
Mystery Box while stating - "the boat is a boat, but the mystery box
could be anything, even a boat!"

I bet this box has something better than tickets to Improv inside. ;)

BTW - Michael, does the auction venue have Wi-Fi or internet access?
I bet many people would enjoy watching a live video feed of the
auction or perhaps some live snippets of the action, interviews, etc.
Would it be possible to set up a streaming video feed on a laptop or
smartphone and broadcast this feed live to the internet?

Best regards,

MikeG
