OK, story of one of the Kuma Balls. I'm one of the lucky ones that got a baseball at the SF show. The concert was a early birthday gift from my husband, so the ball made the concert priceless. Although I enjoyed the show, I was kinda disappointed that I couldn't see much of her since I'm short(she really needs to move around the stage more!).

From her blog, I knew about the baseballs and when she started throwing them, I didn't even want to try for one since I thought it would be a mob. Lucky for me, the one thrown in my area bounced off the hands of the annoying girls in the back (they hit my friend in the face and pulled on my other friend's jacket trying to get it), dropped to the floor, and rolled inbetween me and my brother. I was so nervous that it would be a mad dash for the ball, but luckily it was too crowded that no one could turn around. I stuck it in my pocket as quickly as I could and kept my hand in there until we were out of the Fillmore.

It's not one of the six she took a picture of on her blog (not immortalized forever on her site), and she didn't write an "M." after "Legalize Gay," so maybe that makes it more special.

Either way, it sits in a plastic baseball case (it's actually slightly smaller than a tennis ball) and I would probably sell it when I really needed money (which hopefully won't be for a long time, thanks to savings).
