Ed Bryant is in need. His friends and colleagues have donated some wonderful items to help him out, including lunch with Neil Gaiman; a pencil/graphite drawing of the chapter head and tail piece for BRIENNE Book Two of A Feast for Crows (George RR Martin), signed by the artist, Thomas Canty; Peter Straub’s fountain pens; a fiction critique by Harlan Ellison…books donated and signed by Ellen Datlow; original manuscripts by Melanie Tem and Steve Rasnic Tem; signed first editions of hc books by Dan Simmons, Connie Willis, Steven Brust, Ray Garton and others; hand made beaded crafts by Vonda McIntyre; and other goodies.
Here's more information: Ed Bryant, Jr., a Colorado writer and all around great man, has found himself in a bit of a financial predicament brought about by, among other things, medical costs. The “Friends of Ed” organization has decided to showcase a two-pronged auction event to help raise funds for Ed’s immediate needs.
A live auction will take place on October 23, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center during MileHiCon 43. Additionally, an online auction through Ebay will take place in the week prior to MileHiCon 43, ending on both Saturday and Sunday, October 22 and 23, 2011.
Interested bidders can either visit during the MileHiCon 43 convention to bid during a live auction or participate online through the Ebay auction here: ebay auction

(BTW, I agree with everything Ellen has to say about Ed, who really is one of the nicest people I've ever met and one of the many reasons I'm sorry not to be at MileHiCon this weekend.)
