I really enjoyed your writing.

And it left me without any desire to own the instrument.

Well, I somehow came late to the party. However, I thought it was worth my while to go ahead and post even though the 30 hour deadline is far past. In the case you (Gareth) are still willing to take bids, I’ll put in $250.

P.S. I too would like you to keep the glock because I think its plain awesome. The coolest way to rock out is with something that’s not even supposed to be rocked out with in the first place. If you’re gonna sell it though, it would have a treasured place at my house.

nobody should buy it so gareth is stuck with it. I’d gladly give $100 to gareth so that he’d keep it and continue to use the “piece of crap.” That is like half of the reason why I started listening to LC! in the first place. I figured any band that could find a way to fit a glock into their sound must be legit. But now gareth has gone and broken my dreams of how a proper band can run. Gareth, you’ve made 2010 the year that LC has broken my heart.

Gareth,
You don’t play the glockenspiel like one would imagine it should be played, and I mean that it the best of ways.

It’s cool to see you take out your frustrations and/or demonstrate your emotions by beating on such an innocent instrument

Regardless, it’s cool that you’re willing to give up such a memorable part of your band (memorable to LC! and it’s fans) for such a great cause.

Hope someone bids loads and loads of money on it.

I really enjoyed your post Gareth, nice one pal .

I’d like to make a bid, just wondering what the current figure was and where I can make a offer?

Also, in light of all the $’s, my bid would be in £’s!

Hey Gareth – at least you don’t have to put colour coded stickers on the keys to know which ones to hit! S+E x

I think playing the glockenspiel is very masculine.
