help save the bus!

topic posted Sun, March 27, 2005 - 10:13 PM by 
hey, folks-

there is a crisis with da bus.

it's been towed, and is racking up higher fees every day.

richard's fallen on hard times, he's been laid off, and is dealing with his mother, and her failing mental faculties, and doesn't have the money to bail the bus out.

i know most of us are in the same position these days, anybody got any suggestions?

    well, i happen to be very, very good at throwing parties.

    i would suggest a kick ass fundraiser ASAP, and i can help w/ location, DJ's, art, and all that other stuff that makes a party fabulous. i am really good at organization.

    we really just need volunteers to work the thing, the rest is the easy part. if you wanted to do a more intimate party i can do that too. my connections are yours.

    but here's the kicker, the bus needs to be represented in some way, so if this is something you want to do, start gathering your photos from years past, call other photogs and get theirs, too... etc.

    it's funny, because i am SO burnt from throwing solstinox, and i wanted to get involved in something else, but i just don't have the energy for what's crossed my path lately, it just didn't feel right......

    but for the bus??????!!!!!!!! I TOTALLY HAVE THE ENERGY! i've been looking for the next thing to get me going.

    another option, i know you are a hairdresser, and i an aesthetician. i've raised lots of money in the past by donating all my earnings to a charity on a given day, and i mean ALL, i donate my time and supplies, every cent paid is a cent given to my charity of choice for that day. i have access to a beautiful space in SF where we could do a pampering party and give all the money raised toward the bus? i do the waxing and facials, you do the hair? i could likely pull in a manicurist if you don't know of one.

    i'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO down to help save the bus!!!! please let me know what i can do! i'm committed!

      girl, that would be soooo wonderful! we've talked about doing fundraisers, but both of us are at a loss as to how to do it, so any help would be so very appreciated.

      i know i could probably get some of the other fatchance gals to dance with me, so you could count on us for some entertainment, and we could probably work out some other entertainment as well.

      i'm leaving the country this afternoon for two weeks, and i'll be back on the 15th. richard will get in touch with you, to get the ball rolling. when i come back i'm available to help out as much as i can.

      thanks so much, doll!
