FLASHBACK art auction, a benefit for Coupling 2008

A generous thank you to Laura Michalek, the talented auctioneer who donated much time and expense to the planning and delivering a successful FLASHBACK; Trieste: experimental rock band for playing the FLASHBACK wrap-up rock inspiration; Paul Rucker: a mind blowing cello experience; Timea Tihanyi: support, advice, "Fund a Need"; Kris Jones and the UW School of Art for financial support.

We also could not have accomplished this ambitious event without the help of our volunteers: Sean Howe, Michael Heisinger, Andrea Giaier, Nate Schulfer, Lauren Klenow, Robin Crookall, Michelle Summers, Jason Hirata, Marie-Claire Bozant, Erin Burns, Ally Quemere, Lise Graham, Danny Lipinski, Matt Browning, Alicia Basinger, Julie Alpert, Becca Weise, Elizabeth Buschman, Allison Blevins.

And of course, thank you to those who attended the auction; who bought art; who purchased raffle tickets; who dontated to "Fund a Need"; who donated works for the auction; and who enjoyed the FLASHBACK experience! We hope to see you all at the event we raised these funds for, FLASHFORWARD: Friday, March 28 @ Ouch My Eye Gallery.

STRANGE COupling thanks you! Thank you, thank you for your generous support. The funds raised from FLASHBACK help Strange Coupling to continue to thrive as a significant component of the University of Washington student experience.
