Money....that's what I want

*cha cha cha cha*
Your guest strips give me such a thrill...but your art won't get me to Comic Con, I want money!
*dances*

There's my not-so-subtle way of letting you all know I'm open to monetary donations in order to get me to Comic Con this summer!
See, if you hadn't already heard, Keenspace is getting us a booth this year, and printing a little "Keenspace Sampler" book that you'll be able to pick up for free. Unfortunately, these things all cost money, and I'm a poor little starving artist. It's costing me an arm and a leg to get to the con, plus all these Keenspace related expenses.
This is where you kids come in!
I've got a Paypal account all set up, and I'll also accept personal checks and money orders.
Here's a little chart to let you see how it's going down.
<img src="http://angrypeople.keenspace.com/images ... nchart.jpg">
Here's an explanation of all the levels:
<b>$25:</b> This is the charge for a seat at the Keenspace booth.
<b>$125:</b> the next step up is a bit of a jog, but bear with me! I've ordered two pages in the Keenspace book, and at 50 bucks a pop, that brings our total to $125. Is we reach this, you'll have covered the book AND the booth! Yay for you!
<b>$180:</b> Entrance into the con is $55. if we reach this, you'll have covered the book, booth, and me getting my ass into the convention center!
<b>$250:</b> It's sort of an estimated amount, but I figure that 70 bucks should at least cover gas and part of my miscellaneous expenses. If we reach this far, my trip to the con will almost be expenses paid! w00t!

Of course, I couldn't ask you to just throw monery at me without getting anything...so to sweeten the pot, I'mdoing a little KCTS 9 dealy...y'know, the public television station that does Red Dwarf marathons and in between episodes they have some crazy fat guy begging for donations in exchange for shitty totebags and coffee mugs?
Well there's no fat guy and, sadly, no totebags. But there are gifts!

Here's the deal:
--ANY donation, no matter how small, will get a signed print of an AP comic of YOUR choice, or a signed sketch.
--$5 gets you the aforementioned comic AND a page of Angry People stickers (paper, not vinyl).
--$10 will get you a 3 Angry People buttons of your choice, and natch, the signed comic.
--$10-$15 or more will win you all the stuff mentioned here, plus a big hug and a cameo in the comic!

(All donators attending the con will get the aforementioned hug, if you tell me who you are ^_^)

I <u>refuse</u>to use cafepress.

coz I care about you. that's right, dammit. i love you guys.
i'm not going to offer you shoddy merch just so i can get some quick cash in my pocket.

Hm, what exactly is this "punk", then? I can imagine someone saying, "those blasted punks gave us lousy merchandise!", or something, but now that's non-punk? Hm... next thing you know, people will be saying that being too poor and cheap to donate money to people isn't punk either, and then where will I be?

In my defence, I only use Caf

I'm just bumping up the thread so that you all can see I made some changes to the gifts and stuff. Kbye!

Oh, and P.S. Thanks to Amber (DevilInaBluDrezz) for being the first person to donate, and for donating more than I ever expected! You rock!
Everyone look out for her cameo appearance soon ^_^

i'll donate, just let me get my paycheck first (friday)

I won't donate!!

Because I'm so poor.

And you know I have a Cafepress store. I just remembered now... It sucks, and I can't possibly make any money off of it, unless 2000 people buy a mug, because they only pay you if you get 20 bucks or more.
Stupid base prices.

I'll probably throw in a few coins when I can.

Or I could send you a cheque.

EsylaMcSassy · Post by **EsylaMcSassy** » Thu Apr 11, 2002 2:42 pm

a "cheque"? gee, i dunno if we can use "cheques" here in america....*snorts*

I'm pretty sure there's a way to obtain international money orders or something to that effect.

Ech, don't get me started on transatlantic language shift...I just did a 3000-word essay on the subject >:(

Mweh.

The problem basically boils down to my lack of credit card (and steady employment...when you're a tutor, cash flow is erratic at best).

EsylaMcSassy · Post by **EsylaMcSassy** » Thu Apr 18, 2002 9:41 pm

aw...c'mon guys...Dennis over at FOGClub Adventure got his fans to pay for his pages in the Keenspace in entirety.
*sniffles*

I guess his fans just love him more

Unfortunately, love isn't considered legal tender in Western society. Only hard cash money.

Grrr. I may have to cave in and get a Proper Job.

EsylaMcSassy · Post by **EsylaMcSassy** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 8:11 am

love should be legal tender, dude.

Toom · Post by **Toom** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 8:23 am

I don't want a job if it pays in love. I suspect the girlf may get upset

.

McFuck it, I really need employment. Without steady cash flow, not only can I not donate to Esyla (thus soothing my nagging guilt at not paying for webcomics) but I may never own a Topato shirt.

Winkle · Post by **Winkle** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 11:14 am

okay, i know i promised to donate a long time ago, but i'm really going to do it!! i've got my paycheck right here, and all i need to do is go cash it. *looks around for a ride to the bank*

well in that case i'll be glad to donate.

EsylaMcSassy · Post by **EsylaMcSassy** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 9:18 pm

Joe: You're allowed to donate art. It's just as good as love or money.

EsylaMcSassy · Post by **EsylaMcSassy** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 9:33 pm

YES!

My seat at the keenspace booth has now been paid for.
Amber and Scrubbo, you guys rock my world, not to mention several pairs of my socks.

How about the rest of you, eh? SLACKERS! ^_^
