The send HoustonDerek to Paizocon thread

Ladies and gentlemen:

So as many of you may have noticed, HoustonDerek has returned after an absence of many moons. I have hereby decided that it is imperative to get him to a location where he can be beaten for his long history of trolling the boards. So here is what I propose: We board-dwellers collect enough to send Derek to Paizocon 2012!

I figure we need enough to cover airfare from Houston ($~400), three nights in the hotel (~$400*), and tickets spending money ($200)...so roughly $1000.00?

I'll put up $50. If nineteen others can commit to doing the same in this thread, then maybe Derek can finally get his just deserts. :)

* This is about what it cost this year at the Coast...a venue change may increase the price.

Edit: If anyone has experience and can take care of setting up a "donation" style website, that would be utterly awesome, and a totally acceptable alternative to the $50. :)

No thanks, taxed enough already. He should get a job and not rely on socialism.

;)

Kickstarter might be a good place to do it.

Who gets to hold him down, and who gets to punch him?


To make things simple, why doesn't everyone just wire me the money and I'll see that it gets where it should be going safely?

I'll pass the hat at the union hall next meeting.

Yeah, he's been living large at the taxpayer's expense for the past few months.


Despite my apparent inability to distinguish between "dessert" and "desert" (particularly bad, as I live in AZ!), I am serious -- If enough of us chip in we can do this!

Besides, what's $50 in the grand scheme of things? You can spend that on an XBox game your kids play for a week before it sits around collecting dust.

I don't know about Texas, but around these parts "living large" involves green bologna and pink underwear. :P


I am up for it. ~shrugs~ Hell, I will not be able to make the 2012 PaizoCon, so why not spend the $50 and let someone else have some fun.

Inner sea world guide? That won't stay around for a week.

Can I donate a baseball bat with a nail in it? Or possibly a rusty tire iron?

If I had to nominate someone to be "The Official Face of Houston Pathfinder Gaming," HD wouldn't be my first choice (since he's committed the unpardonable sin of playing Kirthfinder instead)... but then again, if it means getting him out of town for a weekend so that the community can recover from his sudden re-instroduction, it's probably worth it.

If someone sets something up I will contribute my usual college loan amount. (really with all the charities I have, it's the only way to keep food on the couch)


I wish I could go to Paizocon. *pout* How about they move Paizocon to Milwaukee like the old Gen Con. Or at least have multiple Paizocons like PAX does.
