Comedian Doug Benson is our special guest auctioneer for March! He’ll be auctioning off a crazy array of items – from movie and music collectibles to concert tickets and gift certificates. As always, Amoeba will match your individual donations up to $1,000! Stay tuned for auction items we'll be featuring...

100% of the proceeds benefit the LA Regional Food Bank whose mission is to mobilize resources to fight hunger in our community. www.LAfoodbank.org .

From February 27th - March 5th,  Amoeba Hollywood hosts a FOOD DRIVE to gather items for the LA Food Bank.

Bring in non-perishable food items to Amoeba and we'll give you a $2 OFF "Thank You" coupon for helping out! Items needed most are: rice, beans, peanut butter, canned meats, canned fruits, and canned vegetables.


About Doug Benson:
It would take too long to cite all of his credits, but here’s a small sampling: He has his own documentary called Super High Me based on a joke from his standup act. It’s available on DVD! How does a little show called NBC’s Last Comic Standing grab you? Fact: he finished top six in the 2007 season, no big deal. Doug was a series regular on four seasons of VH-1’s Best Week Ever. He makes recurring appearances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. His second Comedy Central Presents half-hour special premiered in January ’09. He had the nerve to hit on Jennifer Aniston on the classic sitcom Friends, is a character on The Sarah Silverman Program, and oops, almost forgot, got Larry David in a headlock on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. If that’s not enough for you, he’s a creator/writer/star of The Marijuana-Logues, a show that’s been a hit (small pun intended) in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York – and drew a bongload of rave reviews. Now there’s a CD, also called The Marijuana-Logues, and a book, The Marijuana-Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember. In 2006, High Times Magazine named him Stoner of the Year, and in 2009, he successfully made it to all the shows in his thirteen-day Medical Marijuana Tour. Now Doug has three CD’s out on Comedy Central Records: Unbalanced Load, Hypocritical Oaf and Potty Mouth. He continues to express his love of movies on his Doug Loves Movies podcasts (available on iTunes). And Doug’s long-running live show, The Benson Interruption, was recently a series broadcast on Comedy Central. Enough about Doug Benson already!

About Amoeba Charity Auctions:
In early September 2005 , Amoeba Hollywood began hosting Amoeba Auctions, an on-going weekly auction to help raise money for the Gulf Coast Relief Efforts post-Katrina. The first Saturday of the month, our Hollywood store continues to auction off  items which include memorabilia, collectables, promotional items, concert tickets, plus much, much more to raise money for worthy charities. To help increase the funds, Amoeba matches all individual donations and accepted bids up to $1,000.

Auctions have included everything from Slayer promotional underwear, Michael Jackson puffy stickers and Devo hats (with winning bids of $5 - $20) to Brian Wilson box seats for the Hollywood Bowl which went for $550, a signed Flea Bass Guitar for $600 and a pair of tickets to the sold-out Supergrass show for $200 along with gift certificates from generous neighbors (Trader Joe's, Laemmle Theaters, Arclight, Intelligensia Coffee and more!). With Amoeba matching all the bids, each item brings in double the money!
