Janis Ian is preparing for a last North American Tour (see her website for information)! After moving and downsizing, most of her memorabilia has gone to the Janis Ian Archives. She's also picked a few items to sell in order to benefit the Pearl Foundation. This is one of those items.When Janis was asked to appear on Howard Stern's radio show, her response was "When am I ever going to get to hide out in a boy's locker room and listen to them talk? Of course!" Figuring she should give as good as she got, when Howard tried to surprise her with his parody of "At Seventeen", Janis calmly offered to play guitar and back him up. The show itself rated among Stern's top five ever, and is still re-played today. Janis was then invited to
The Miss Howard Stern New Year's Eve Pageant,
which aired live on December 31, 1993. Janis had been wanting to get to New York for a while, but couldn't afford the airfare and hotels, so she thought "Well, why not...." Little did she know she'd be seated between the former head of the Ku Klux Klan (who refused to shake her hand) and John Bobbitt (whose hand she wasn't interested in shaking.) These laminates are really, really rare, given out only to performers and their crew for the show night. Good luck with the bidding!
Like all other items listed from this account, 100% of the proceeds after eBay fees will go to the Pearl Foundation*. This is an opportunity for you to get Laminates Janis used on Howard Stern's show and support good works at the same time.
The winner needs to pay for this item within two days of the close of the auction. It will be shipped within two business days of receiving verification of payment.
Thanks for looking and thanks for your support of Janis and The Pearl Foundation.

The Pearl Foundation (named after Janis Ian's mother, Pearl) is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charitable foundation providing scholarships for "returning students". It's
funded solely through donations from fans, friends, complete strangers, and Janis Ian and Patricia Snyder. We don't have board meetings in The Bahamas or pay any salaries; everything but the actual tax preparation and filing fees is donated. Our annual costs have never exceeded ,500 (the cost of tax preparation and filing), and so far we have given away over ,235,500.00
