Help us launch the Yes Lab and clean out our office at the same time! Get a "grab bag" of stuff, a brainstorm sessions, or some other strange service you won't find anywhere else. If you don't want anything from the below list but just want to donate, that's possible too. Or you can just help spread the word about the Yes Lab. |

For $25-$100, help us clean out our office by selecting grab-bags of various sizes, each with an assortment of stuff you're not likely to find anywhere else... unless you're in the habit of dumpster-diving around the Heritage Foundation, big oil conferences, or the Yes Men's tiny Manhattan office. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| $150 Thrift-store suit worn by Yes Men in one of their actions, or underwater. Bought for about $20, and then ruined, you can have these suits for... well, more than they're worth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 A bona-fide imitation human-flesh candle, made of Exxon's product Vivoleum™ (more specifically, Reggie Watts).* |

 Date with Survivaball Top Model, Rocco Ferrer (pictured, right, in all his bulbous glory). In addition to his profoundly charming, weird presence, Ross will regale you with gifts and some very interesting stories. He likes long walks on the beach (coast guard presence optional), dancing in the middle of Manhattan traffic, and fighting zombie minions.* |

2 or 3-day retreat in the secret catacombs under Paris. Includes a visit to all of the following locations: a nazi bunker; a French collaborationist bunker; a French resistance bunker; a big vaulted party room under a hospital; a shrine to rocks built by 19th-century catacomb workers; a chamber of amazing murals by Ecole des Mines graduates dating back to the 1970s; a big area full of thousands of human bones from the 1700s and earlier; more inscriptions and chambers and weirdnesses than you can count; encounters with numerous odd but harmless "cataphiles" of every age (who may even recognize Andy, as he is a bit of a celebrity in Paris); and an attempt to exit straight into a busy Paris street, followed by a celebratory breakfast or dinner or drink. Option of early exit. Any number of participants welcome for the same price, but you have to get to Paris on your own. Yes, we know, this prize is absolutely ridiculous. Still, it's for real.* |

| If you don't want any stuff, but you still want to help the Yes Lab get going, here are some suggested amounts you might want to contribute. (You can of course also donate whatever you wish!) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

* All prizes $300 or over include a small torrent of additional grab-bag gifts, including deluxe publications, knick-knacks from the office, etc. **Credit is depending on organization size and location (if not in NYC). Email YesLab at theyesmen dot org for more information. |
