On September 2nd, Dave Matthews Band played a charity softball game in Kansas City, Missouri against a local radio station. (And was soundly defeated.) With a bid of $2,000, nancies.org member Jody won the auction to play against the band, and has posted a narrative of his experience to the discussion boards. $7,500 was raised in all, going to the local police and fire fund. For photos of the first-of-its-kind event, you can see Mix 93.3's website, or Jason Squires' pictures at RollingStone.com. Thanks to Kevin for the tip.
