If you donate $100 to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, Brian Wilson (the Beach Boy) will call you on the phone.
"Here's my challenge: For anyone who sends a donation of $100 or more, I will call you personally and answer a question you may have, or just say hello. Also, Melinda and I will match the donation."
Reader comment: Paul says: "In case anyone asks you 'is this real,' the answer is yes. My friend David called me on Monday all excited. He had donated $160 and Brian Wilson called. Brian asked David 'so, do you have any questions for me' and David said 'no, I'm just a big fan,' and then Brian and David chatted star-to-fan for a couple of minutes."
Reader comment: Kevin Kelly says: "Yep, Brian Wilson just called me after I donated $100 via Pay Pal. He asked me what I did, and I told him. Then I asked him two questions: If I gave you a ticket to time travel, either to the past or to the future, where/when would you go to? He said, 'I'd travel back to the time when I was making Pet Sounds.' Then I asked him how many calls he's made. 'Twenty today. We've raised 100,000 so far!' I thanked him and that was that.
"It's such a GREAT idea!"
