Is that true?
I don't know verbatim if that's true, but that seems to be the lore of the story. Ultimately, it all went to a good cause, but 90 percent of the sales were to one guy.

I found that to be monumentally hilarious. so much so that I am setting up a little competition.The best report from anybody who can ask Gord if that is true and if so what has he done with the heap of unwanted detritus (or more likely did he lump it on the broad shoulders of his late manager) and comes back to this thread and then submits a reports in detail on what he discovers will get a copy from me of a DVD made from that youtube video
