Strangercrombie Strangercrombie: The Pioneer Square Edition

Time is flying. This year's Strangercrombie Holiday Auction ends at 5 pm this Wednesday, December 15—and the big bucks, as you must already know, will go to Downtown Emergency Service Center and Childhaven.
Now, with all of the bad news coming out of Pioneer Square, here is a way you can show that bad news means nothing to you. It's a package for grub in the oldie and gloud part of town. You get 25 vouchers for free döner kebab sandwiches at the Berliner Döner Kebab, a 6-BuiltPack at BuiltBurger, and $50 to spend at F.X. McRory's. Also in this package is one hour of tattoo time at Hidden Hand Tattoo. Even I didn't know you could eat a tattoo.

Also: This critique might be totally out of line, but this year's Strangercombie (tm) is ALL stuff you have to be in Seattle to actually, you know, get or enjoy.
In years past, there were items that could be bid up way high, and then shipped to, say, Chicago. This year, everything that's not for Print in the Stranger (front page, review of this or that) is . . . for people in Seattle to enjoy.
Lots of Slog readers/commenters are not actually in Seattle. Why aren't there more physical items to bid on, as opposed to services or goods available only in Seattle?
