"I Will Fight" - The Orange Bands [Archive]

The online order form for the Orange Bracelets (http://www.absolutepunk.net/andrew) in support of Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate / Jacks Mannequin) is now online. Please check out the page as it contains a lot of useful information. Also, please tell all your friends and help spread the word. Thank you.

Currently Sold: 1,107

The first 600 orders have shipped (on July 5th). Look for a red (or other colored) envelope in your mailbox shortly. Please do not email us asking if you were in the first 600, we can't handle that right now as we're busy filling out envelopes for the next batch. We will keep you updated right here when we get the next bands, and when the next shippment takes place. Again, thank you to everyone who has been so very supportive.

The last thread can still be found here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=77635).

I had people ask me about mine today. I told them about Andrew and how to get one.

Just so everyone knows: International orders are fine, and the same shipping applies. Also, checks should be made out to AbsolutePunk

Thank you! I am overwhelmed by how well this has gone, it's truly amazing.

dont you move

when do you think the next shipment will be?

Jason Tate

07/07/05, 01:35 PM

The goal is as soon as possible, we almost have all of the envelopes addressed and are just waiting on the bands to come in from the plant (that's what takes so long) .. grr. I think I will be ordering the 3rd batch later tonight (once I know what sizes to get) - so that once we sell out of the second batch (which looks to be soon) there won't be as much downtime between the shipments. I am really sorry about that, I didn't think we'd sell out of the first batch in the first 2 days!

I'm hoping to recieve mine within the next few days because i'm pretty sure i was in the first 600. :]

Anyone who was involved deserves all the credit in the world. Thanks so much for doing such an amazing thing.

We need to keep spreading the word!

Get everyone you know wearing one if they like SoCo or not...and even if they've never heard of them. Parents too! This is a great cause, and I'm glad to help in any way I can

im pleased with this idea. i have told everyone and keep it posted in my live journal. how many have been sold at the warped tour alone? is the count total for online only?

Zero. We sold out before I could bring any to Warped! That's what's crazy.

I want to order 6 bracelets but need different sizes. The online ordering seems to only allow ordering one size at a time.. Is my only option to send my order by snail-mail? Glad to see this going so well.

You can still order them all online. Most people that order different sizes place separate orders for each size. For example, they order 2 smalls on one order and then order 2 mediums on another order.

Though I want to say thank you that this is going for a good cause

if you're going to send cash, put it in a smaller envelope or line the envelope with construction paper.

RockVocalPower

07/08/05, 10:18 AM

I just wrapped mine in a piece of computer paper.

But Rog knows best.

That little red envelope brightened my day.

It's awesome how many people are willing to help the cause and Andrew. Keep spreading the word...maybe we can even surpass the amount of livestrongs that were sold. ;)
