This whole thing kinda makes me think of the fiasco that happened with the eBay auction that the youtuber Jared Dines tried to do. He had a guitar that he put up for auction on eBay so he could use the money to get instruments into kid’s hands. Well, some dude got smashed one night and put in some ridiculous bid that he could never pay and pretty much destroyed the whole thing. Super sucks.
It’s weird that his eBay username is Brwning_Burnr

Wait a second, let me get this straight. Sultan is trying to get a group of people, presumably more than 50 because we’re above $10K, to chip in for this right? Then they all have to duke it out for the song name? So these 50+ people are just chipping in money to get Umphrey’s to write a song that they probably already would have written/recorded because they’re already in the studio. And this is a band that comes up with some dumb names for a song anyway so whatever this group comes up with will likely have been on par with the name as it would’ve been.
I cannot comprehend the group thought process here lmao

FTR, the auction isn’t to just name a song.
Yeah, but have fun getting 50 people to agree on how they want to structure a song.

Yeah but from what I understand V4J eats up everything the band does, so it won’t matter anyway, right?

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Looking at v4j I don’t think sultans group is among the top bidders
Why is that song meaningful for the drive in shows?
It’s not really for the Drive In shows, but just being the first shows back with a crowd after all of the bitching the last couple weeks.

God I love this. Between this and the podcaster who named their kid after bayliss, it’s great to see such love for the THE BOYS
OFFICIAL VfJ BUYS AN UMPHREY’S SONG MAYBE START THR3AD:
The bid is currently at 10.2k. To do this, we are gonna need a big group of people. I’m thinking 150-200 maybe people, to each throw in 100 bucks. We won’t be making ANY MONEY MOVES until we have a group together of people that will vouch to do this, and allows us to watch where the bid will be about 1 day prior to ending (to save me the headache of refunding everyone right off the bat). Once we get enough members ready to do this, I’ll make a separate group where we can discuss what the topic of the song will be. They are going to make a song off of what we say, so we can get AS DESCRIPTIVE AS WE WANT. The best part is, if we lose EVERYONE GETS 100% OF YOUR MONEY BACK. If we win for a smaller amount than collected, EVERYONE WILL GET AN EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF THE EXCESS FUNDS. All left to say really is
Who’s coming with me man?

So you’re saying for just $100 I can have 0.5% of a say in what the new song is?!!!
Sorry, need to go buy alcohol instead.

What I don’t get is that some people are chipping in more than others…do you get more of a say?
I feel like this is going to turn into a lot of people bitter towards sultan because since he is organizing it his opinions will make it to top of list
