I was thinking of something less expensive than a jacket so more of the
money could go to getting the band on tour. A "Official On Tour Support
Crew" T-Shirt as an acknolegment of the help might be a good choice
considering the talk a few months ago about the lack of shirts on tour.
Maybe the abillity to mail order ticket or two (like the Greatful
Dead used to do before general sales of a show) included in the donation
(set appropriatly (closer to the $100 US range)) to ensure availability for
the supporter.

What ever makes sense financially.
