Well folks we’re more than a week into the auction ... more that 70%+ of over 240 items have been bid on, we’ve had more than 700 individual bids and we’ve raised more than $11,000.

Let’s give ourselves a big round of applause ... and get back to bidding!

Ok folks, so I'm finally making the leap into the world of writing diaries. Ah can you remember the first time you hit the send button ... the excitement, the trepidation! Until now I've relegated myself to recommending diaries but the time is now to jump in head first (well, ok maybe feet first). Remember, I'm Netroots Nation's Development Director and this is officially my first one so please be kind!

In all seriousness, we’re really excited about this auction and the amazing amount of support we've seen from everyone so far. On Friday all of us here at Netroots Nation set a goal of getting bids on more than 50% of our 220 auction items by Sunday night, and you blasted through that goal. We awoke this morning to find the percentage somewhere around 54%.

Today we reset the goal to 70% by Tuesday night and we're already at 59% as of the writing of this diary. In short, you’re all awesome!
