I'm in - Corie/Craig - what's the total needed? Just so everyone has an idea about the total cost (sorry - this time of year - the accountant in me just keeps showing up)

OK, the airfare is booked and not using miles because it had to be Southwest.
Total cost will be about a grand....airfare is fairly high, but hotel is low.
See announcement at top or here is repeat. Please post your pledges here and also comments so this thread stays bumped up.
Every dollar counts, so $5 or $10 is welcome as well as $100 or whatever. We are trying to raise about $1,000 as that will end up being the cost of the trip.
Donations can be by check, cash, MO, paypal or even credit card.
Cash, check or MO can be made out to and mailed to:
Craig Issod
8 Golden Circle
Southampton, MA 01073
Paypal can be sent to [email protected]
If you want to pay by credit card, either send me an email or a Private message and I will give instructions or fax info (card, exp and amount) to 413-280-0178
Donations from companies within the industry are welcome, and all donors will be listed in a Press Release and other postings on this site (however, you can remain anonymous if you like).

Ah, the accountant in you, Harley. Luckily this is timed right. I just sent in all my tax stuff BUT have not received the bad news yet. For better or worse, some of my stock market stuff did well, so I expect a BIG bill. Yes, I did some short term trading (full income tax due) because last time I tried waiting until things turned to long term gains (1999) I was caught with pants down. No more.... Bulls and Bears MIGHT make money, but pigs get slaughtered!
Rest assured that the Webmaster is as tight with a buck as can be (at least with a Business Buck) and we will not be giving Corie a stake for the Poker Game! My guess of $1,000 is probably pretty accurate given that Corie will be spending some of his own $$ for getting to the airport, etc.
Like, off the top of my head:
570 airfare
$300 - hotel 3 nights including taxes
$100 food, basic taxi-bus in Reno
--------------------- Total=About a grand
and we may need some help for getting him into certain seminars, although I will try to use influence to do it free.
Also, some of the fun of the Expo is walking around after the show into the party suites (often BIG rooms) and eating fancy dinners and drinks on Regency, Peterson (gas logs) or someone elses tab..... Yes, corie will be standing with the carved butter statues and the roast beef carvings!

Show is March 14-17

We will charge most of the stuff on my cc anyway, so that is why I am coordinating the $$. I will provide accounting, and if...by remote chance....we exceed fund raising goals, then remainder will go into either Cories stove installation donor thingy or to start a fund to send someone next year (Atlanta).

I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm so excited to have this opportunity, so everyone that has already donated, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Corie, good luck on your studies, I'm a Drexel grad (which as you know has a pretty 'decent' engineering school)

This should send it to the top again. This is sort of like the NPR fund drive, the quicker we pay the faster we stop

Have to go to the mailbox - I didn't want to count pledges, just money in....so that means only some paypal up til now.
Either way, we will update graph either daily (at end of day and as Will has to be around) - or, if nothing comes in, we will update every 48 hours.
