This past weekend Billie Joe attended an auction for the Firehouse Art Collective "Art For Schools" fundraiser. At the event Billie auctioned off an autographed Les Paul Jr. along with some other smaller items including a copy of photographer Bob Gruen's new book, "Rock Seen."

Half of the proceeds from the event went to Billie Joe's old high school in the Rodeo district of Oakland. Below you can see some pictures from the event.
