Attention Buffistas!

You all have been very generous, giving really incredible amounts of money and energy to keep this community running. We've gone a long way on the initial fundraising push and random gifts that have come in along the way. However, we're going to run out of that cash in the next few months. You may have noticed our excellent service recently, but having this much capacity costs money. It's not an emergency at this point, but I wanted to give folks planning time -- maybe you don't have any extra cash right now, but you will in the next couple of months (tax refund, maybe?). Please consider making a contribution to this community, especially if you haven't before. No amount too small, none too large. You can paypal to donations@buffistas.org, or email that same address for mailing information.

THANK YOU.

Attention SCAdians, costumers, fabric artists, and those who like to play dress-up:

As the likelihood that I will be building garb again is slim to nonexistent, I'm seeking a good home for six patterns from Mediaeval Miscellania, uncut, with the original instructions and inserts. I'll also throw in the giggleworthy Butterick attempts at cotehardies, in children's and adult sizes (perfect for school plays and Halloween parties!). All I ask is that they be used, and not left languishing in a basement (which is what they're doing now). First person to e-mail my profile address with shipping details gets 'em: if a trade would make you feel better, make me an offer (those of a porntastic nature will get the sender giggled at, but if it's really creative I'll let DH read it).

(and the patterns are gone. Thanks.)

Boston-area-istas: My aunt, in Burlington, needs a housesitter for March 23-30. This would be the easiest $300 you've ever made -- she's got two kids, both in high school and totally self-sufficient. There would be no cooking or cleaning for you to do, just sleep there so that an adult is present if there's an emergency.

If anyone's interested, email me at my profile addy.

Update

Y'all rock. Thank you.

While I'm here, let me just say again and publically how impressed and grateful I am that we've been able to keep this thing going with voluntary contributions, and I don't see that stopping any time soon. It's very cool.

New Yorkers:

Tomorrow morning, there will be a (hopefully) massive, peaceful, equal marriage rights demonstration in front of City Hall. Details are at NYMarriageNOW.

Quick reminder:

We really haven't gotten much discussion yet about the hotel for the F2F. The hotel information is linked to in this post.

Even if all you have to say is that any of them would work for you, please comment. We need to make a decision soon if we're going to get these rates and have time to plan everything else.

Thank you!

Attention Pacific Northwest Area Buffistas and the Lurkers Who Support Me in E-mail: should any of you be interested in gathering for a Wonderfalls Premiere Party on 12, March, 2004, I'm interested in throwing one. House needs cleaning, and a party's as good an excuse as any.

Profile address, she's good. Details to follow should anyone be interested.
