Buffistas need to check in.

Hey, guys. I've created the ita thread. Sorry about the name, description, and need for it.

"ita's thread"

From ita's sister:

Can you ask the posse to assemble some pics (300 DPI) that they would like us to put in the programme for her service? I want to make sure we have LA representation. Also perhaps Colin can find some Mtl pics. I'm wondering if we could have some sort of statement and or reading from you guys that we could play or read out as well.

Help me figure out how to do this? Please?

As mentioned in ita's thread, and on Facebook, I'm inviting any who would like to meet up to my house on Monday. If you'd like to talk, Please Come. If you'd like to sit like a lump and be around people, Please Come. Even if you feel like you didn't know ita that well, Please Come.

Come after 1 pm to []. There's plenty of room.

FYI I have cats and a (freezing) ungated pool.

I will get sandwiches and a salad from Corner Bakery and provide some treats, wine and gimlets. No need to bring anything else (unless you would like to), just yourself.

ETA: I guess if we need board discussion for this, take to ita's thread.

I'm collecting a list of email addresses of Buffistas who would like to virtually participate in the get together at bon bon's house via a Google Hangout.

If you'd like to join virtually, ping me at my profile addy. If you know the time you'll be able to join, please add it as well.

I don't have a Facebook account so I won't be able to see requests to be added to the list there.

In sillier news...

The big day has finally come. And this Thursday at ten on CBS, if you don't blink at the wrong moment, there is a greater than zero chance you'll see my little face on your television. I am wearing a green coat and a plaid scarf at SPOILER ALERT a crime scene on my very favorite show, Elementary.

Watch-and -post in Procedurals. Watch-and-point if you live nearby :)

I took pictures of a lot of ita's fannish stuff and will post them on Facebook tomorrow morning at 9:30 board time and will link to it here. Anyone who wants some of them can claim them in a first come first serve basis and then they will be mailed out.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to ita's fund. Because of your generosity, we were able to cover most of their hotel bill, the memorial brunch, obituary, phone service, and some incidental costs like lunches for everyone tasked with clearing the apartment and such.

You helped, so much. You made the burden of a completely shitty, unjust, horrible event in all of our lives a bit lighter, and it has meant so much to her family.

ita's father said that we are all their extended family.

I'm forever grateful to all of you.

PDA America, the org that I do the volunteering for, is looking for fundraisers.

While we CAN beat the Koch Brothers and their associates with people power, we can't do it with NO money.

So, here's your chance to use your phone skills and supplement your income while helping build PDA.

I'm looking for 5 commission-based fundraisers. Folks who will take leads that we provide, call them, and secure contributions for PDA. Starting pay is 20% of gross contributions.

If you've been a successful sales person in the past, you'll find this work easy, and probably more fulfilling than your sales job was.

Full or part time. You set your hours. Work from the comfort of home. All you need is unlimited long distance and a reliable internet connection.

Let me know if you're interested! Send e-mail to mikefoxatpdaamerica with the subject "I'll dial for dollars" I personally find Mike a pleasure to do stuff for, but people do get a little different when money changes hands.
