How to get a mention on Boing Boing?

[jillm]

Hello all! Since this is the only forum I belong to I'm going to ask y'all for some non-biking advice. I made a quilt that is being auctioned on ebay right now, 100% of the proceeds will go to Doctors without Borders. With 7 days to go it's already at $810 and I'd like to promote it as much as possible!

I DO have a facebook fan page (hooey batiks) and the info is there, I've sent an email about it to everyone I know, I've even twittered. What I'd LOVE is to get a mention on Boing Boing or some other high traffic blog. So I've got 2 questions. First, is it is it kosher for ME to send tips to these places (hooey batiks schilling the hooey batiks) or would they be more likely to pay attn to a tip if it comes from a different name?

Second, can you think of any blogs or sites that might be interested in plugging the auction? It IS for charity! And it's a really cool quilt (horn tootin'!)!

Thanks!
Jill

oh, and here is the quilt-- The image isn't showing up, here's the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/2273325...7623671124117/
I batiked the material for the squares and the backing, assembled the quilt then had a friend do the machine quilting. Total time was close to 3 weeks.

I suppose I should add the ebay auction link! http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Hand-Ba...item20b054cdc5
