So You Wanna Be Orson Welles
For the aspiring filmmaker on your list, the greatest gift package imaginable: a year's pass to the Northwest Film Forum, a membership to WigglyWorld (giving access to their workshops and equipment rental), a $250 credit toward a class at WigglyWorld, eight hours of editing at 911 Media Arts Center (where the Stranger Genius Award-winning filmmaker James Longley edited Iraq in Fragments), a consultation with local filmmaker Lynn Shelton (We Go Way Back), and a year's subscription to TheWarrenReport. And, just to get you in the mood, we're throwing in an Orson Welles mask made by longtime Stranger artist Kathryn Rathke, a gift certificate to booze-and-food emporium Rosebud, and a case of champagne! Double-reverse-backflip priceless! Opening bid: a shamefully low $1.99!
Poster Package #1—Pearl Jam
Last year’s Pearl Jam package sold for an eye-popping $6,500. Thanks to the big-hearted band, we’re back for round two.

(Framing courtesy of Northwest Art & Frame.) Pee-riceless! Opening bid: $1.99!
A Copy of the Shortbus Screenplay Signed by Director John Cameron Mitchell

Date for One
Not one, not two, but sixteen (!) boxes of heterosexual pornography, from the original Debbie Does Dallas to Specs Appeal: Girls with Glasses to the disconcertingly named Anabolic Initiations IV. This vast collection of preowned but nonsticky wankspiration is spread over DVDs, VHS tapes, and even a few laserdiscs (?!?), and comes with a complimentary package of tube socks. Priceless! Opening bid: $1.99!

Two $25 gift certificates. Opening bid: $1.99
