Wow - not quite sure how to respond to the nomination other than to say "Thanks!"
I'd just like to say something.....If the point of the spancership is to give somebody the chance to get out there who otherwise couldn't *afford* it - then although the bank account is thinner than my hairline - I'd rather see it go to someone who REALLY couldn't *afford* it.
Kinda torn on the issue - just felt like I had to say something... :confused:
edit: fwiw - I'll shoot the $20 on Friday nite.
Contribution sent.
I'll nominate Mulletizer but anybody worthy deserves a shot.
2nd for EP Skis!!!!
Save the ammunition.Quote:

$20 sent.
gravy balls
I'm in for $25. I still don't know if I'll make the summit, but I'm all for sending a deserving [but broke] soul.
Great idea BH: I think we can find mags who really are down on their luck and deserving...
And any extra cash should get distributed to the summit charity (whatever it is)
$18 - sent
50 sent via payolapal
Alright, Just a quick funds update. We are up to $541.25. (the odd amount is a Credit Card Charge Paypal hits me)
So - We are certainly getting there! Keep them coming, it is a great cause.
At this rate, both EPSkis and Mulletizer can be flown in.
Now that Iceman has been goaded into stepping up elsewhere, where are we on this?
Update on funds?
When do we vote?
Funds Update:
We have 713.87 to date. Some of you have said you sent paypal but nothing came, so please check your records. (Bit hard on my end as I get real names from paypal and they are tough to match to maggot names).
I was thinking that we should vote on the first. I'll PM frigidwattle to see where we are on the $ and d$/dt.
__That__ as scary weird. Or weird scary. Timely, Sir frigid, timely.
Anyway, here's a tidbit that is in keeping with my clumsy and callous ways: Mulletizer is really tight on funds and would have a tough time if we only covered the airfare. Plakespear has mentioned that a bed @ HostelX is available, but food and lift tickets will be expensive.
Glory Bowl is both free and easily accessible - a great time at JH can be had with only a few days of lift accessed goodies. I'd like to see the $$$ spread around if at all possible...Quote:

It's got a ring to it....I was planning to attend and do a story for the Powder website, but some things are brewing and I might have to catch a storm elsewhere. I don't know if frozen or the guys are working the resort, but if you guys could synopsize the highlights of Mulletizers rescue, I'd be happy to ask the resort if they'd be willing to contribute tickets toward helping get that poor dehydrated maggot out of those arid Alps with a charitable mention in my story, which I'll write when I get back from wherever I end up.
Never hurts to ask.
edit:gimme a call, bh.
Plakes - You may or may not have seen this post before I got that email, so Buster, I'm sure you'll make certain Mulletizer is covered on all extraneous expenses before making the call to bring in a second charity case. I'll probably know in the next week or two if I'm going to Asia about then; in which case Plakespear could be left holding the bag on his X accommodations, which I'm certain will get worked out with last minute attendees if I can't make it.
But don't give my bed away until I know, please...
Oh, and Mulletizer, if nobody told you, they're flying you in as stunt dick for a remake of that old maggot film favorite-
whoa! Just found this!
(been kinda avoiding summit / maggot get together related threads)
Some scheckles on the way today Frozen!
Glad I saw this, 20 bucks sent (wish it was more, but holidays, ya know).
I have yet to send mine, so that's $20 more you can add to the figure when I get around to it, which I will.
In for $20 last week - confirm, Frozen?
heh.. just don't tell Mrs. Mulletizer! ;)Quote:

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock:
Any updates? How much money is pledged? How much has been collected? Summit starts 1 month from today. If we can't decide on who to send to the summit, I suggest donating the money to the designated charity (whatever that winds up to be).
Ok, funds have reached $826.05 - several of you have pm'd me, all those that did, yes I recieved your funds.
I think it is time to vote on this thing, I am starting a new thread over in chatter. Please nominate and vote quickly!!!!
(due to outside forces Buster has regretfully stepped down from this project and asked that I take over)
I can't find the thread ( I know I'm rubbish). Could you post a link here?
Found it! (sorry, I am crap)
