I would like to see what we can do to help Zen Mod attend Burning Amp 2011

Just as the title states, I'd like to see what we can do to raise the funds to allow Zen Mod to attend Burning Amp 2011.

There are many members of this forum who devote much of their free time to helping others and I think it would be great if the group could give back to one of those members. I know that he would like to attend but could use some help getting there. I also know that he would never ask for help and that's why I'm doing this.

I'm open to suggestions as to how we can do this. Maybe we could sell items in the swap meet, or simply get small donations from everyone, or a combination thereof. I think that the right thing to do would be for a well known and trusted member of the group to control the funds via a paypal account. Clearly, some basic questions have to be answered:

1. How much can we raise or want to raise for this endeavor?
2. How much will an advance purchase fair from Belgrade, Serbia to San Francisco cost?

Clearly, the more we raise the easier it will be for him to afford air travel, transportation and lodging.

Whatever ideas you have please let me know and let's see if we can do this.

Thanks,

Greg

Great that's one donation and I'll count myself in for the same amount.

Zen Mod Fund total = $20.

Thanks,

Greg

Absolutely!

Zen Mod Fund total = $30

I'd happily pay 10$ to see him gone, so make that a total of 40$

Magura

I received an anonymous donation of $30 this morning, so that gives us $70.

Who else is going to help???

I am in for $ 200 and he will stay at my place. That makes 4 people at my place... ha ha that is awesome! pop non stop!

At this time of the year airfare should be around $ 1,000, plus or minus $ 100

ggetzoff · 7th October 2010, 03:39 PM

OMG AR2, that's incredible!

Zen Mod fund total = $270.

I'll get a spreadsheet going soon and upload it.

I know there are more people out there that want to help

Thanks,

Greg

I cannot refuse - this is simply something that should be made to happen.
I will toss in $10 for the airfare - plus $10 for a couple of beers so he has one to share with his good friend AR2. That's $20 total

I would toss in a couple of $ so he could share a beer with Papa - but Papa likes to drink the vino - and he likes EXPENSIVE vino that I cannot afford.

ZM - I hope we get you here and wish you the best. Are you up to date on all of your shots?
