L.A. Blogger Garage Sale

So the other day I get a note from my puckish pal, blogger How Was Your Day, Dan Renzi:

"Do you know any bloggers (or just people) in LA?  We're having a big sale."

Immediately, my two best pals, Curt and Alan, came to mind, but I had to dismiss them as candidates. I don't think people in Beverly Hills have garage sales, do they? Didn't think so.

I got to wondering though: Is there tag sale merchandise that's common to all bloggers? I mean, we bloggers live somewhat publicly, writing about our lives and/or observations, and it is that activity that bonds us together. Is there a common theme to blogger trash? Do other affinity groups have gang-garage sales? Accountants? Actuaries? Funeral home owners? What would make the blogger sale different from the others?

I shot Dan a note back, asking:

"What kinds of things might we expect from How Was Your Day, Dan? I want details, including estimated prices and any interesting provenance that might boost sales."

Dan's reply [with links and a couple notations added by me]:

There are assorted things to be sold at the sale, much of them of a very valuable personal nature.  I, for one, will be parting with a few shirts I wore on a recent Real World/Road Rules Challenge.  [Dan was a cast member in the 1996 Real World Miami] They are made of a nylon/polyester blend and they have "Dan" embroidered onto the left breast area.  Gorgeous.  The nylon/polyester blend aspect was so we could wear them for long periods of time while traveling through uncharted lands via bus, and then clean them with Windex.  I expect two dollars.
 
I am also selling a Tom of Finland porn collection, which I obtained when my neighbor dropped dead.  That should make someone good money on ebay.  I would ebay it myself but I'm too lazy.
 
Michael Lucas is sending me a box of porn.  Why?  Because he's my friend and that's what friends do.
 
Willam is selling some drag clothes, Carly Milne of Details Magazine (we are all about Details this month!) [Dan referencing the fact that both he and I are quoted in an article in DETAILS this month] is selling some sex toys she doesn't need anymore, and God knows what the others are selling. 

How f***-ing cool would it be if Calpernia Adams sold men's clothes?  I wonder if she has a twisted-enough sense of humor to find that funny?  I hope so.

OK, first of all, I would NEVER part with my Tom of Finland porn collection but, Dan, I'll give you $2.00 for nylon/poly/Windex-friendly shirt.
