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.
Vintage All Access:
From Janis: "We began using different kinds of backstage passes when I was just sixteen, because of all the trouble from "Society's Child". At that time, the only thing we had were stick-ons, which ruined your clothing and had to be re-made every day. We graduated during the "At Seventeen" years to sterling silver cut-out pins that were next-to-impossible to duplicate, then to pin-on buttons, and finally, to laminates like these."
Laminates that have and will be listed are all access passes for Janis, crew, and VIP guests. The 1994
Breaking Silence
Australian tour was her "comeback tour", and the first time she'd been in Australia in more than a decade. The 2005 tour also came after a lengthy pause (it's a long way to go from the United States!), and includes laminates from New Zealand as well as Australia.
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 Vintage Tour Laminates 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.
