back again this year, Auctioneer Todd Kimmell!

Todd Kimmell, AKA That Toddly Man, will join us again this year as our auctioneer. His new studio is in a 100 year old bowling alley in Ardmore that no one knew was there. Not kidding.
If you visit, he suggests a bottle of decent port or a six pack of hard cider as the password. That said, visitors really are welcome, and the ancient two lane bowling alley is in fine working order.
When we asked our perennial gentleman of the arts why he willingly puts himself through an evening of torture on our behalf, he simply smiled and sang “The ham bone ‘s connected to the… jaw bone!”

About Sam Benjamin
Sam Benjamin was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. From 1995 to 1999, he attended Brown University. Upon graduating, he received the annual William J. Weston Award for achievement in Film and Video. Post-school life led Sam to Santa Cruz, California, where he first conceived of his pornographic destiny. He would create “feel-good” erotic films – adult movies that actually had some sort of plot – and sell them on eBay, garnering a modest fame for his efforts, revolutionizing a dying genre, and making a small killing in the process.
Benjamin worked in porn for three years; became rich; found porno love; broke his heart; burnt out; quit the biz; cleared his head; atoned for his sins; returned home; applied to graduate school.
Sam Benjamin graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 2005, with a joint degree in Critical Studies and Integrated Media. He has been a guest lecturer at NYU and will speak extensively this fall at universities across the United States.
