Description

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.
On July 20, 1996 Janis played the KPIG Fat Fry Festival in Santa Cruz, CA. This is Janis' personal short-sleeved T-shirt from the festival, worn by her on tour afterwards and consequently broken in for you! Fortunately, she's pretty neat with her clothing, so it has no rips or tears. Made of 100% cotton in an XL size, it is soft and comfortable and wanting to be released from the box where it has been living lately. From Janis: "Oh, this was one of my favorite festivals ever! Look at that line up, from Greg Brown to the Amazing Rhythm Aces. And after it was over, we went for great sushi just a few miles up the road. I have to admit, when I first saw the restaurant sign, which said something like
Chinese, Japanese, Thai food!
I had some serious doubts, but it was the best sushi I'd had since Japan."
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 a vintage Janis Ian concert T 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
in endowed scholarships.
