Plus - no one is "weaseling" you out of the money. The whole point is that 
you're actually giving to a worthy cause (The Food Bank of Central & Eastern 
NC) and getting the music to enjoy is a bonus! 

Maybe you could have the courage to post with your real name so that when 
your house floods, get blown away in a tornado, or when  you're living 
homeless on the street, the rest of us on this list will know not to give you 
any money because you're just trying to "weasel" us.
