    Re: Fundraiser for Fire Victims

    Same here, don't think $20 is too much to worry about. IF it was a scam, those designers are all in cahoots and need to be beaten badly and jailed for pulling something so elaborate off.

    The only question I have is what percentage they allocate to production costs, but they sound pretty legit about finding cheap sources of materials, inks, etc.

    Re: Fundraiser for Fire Victims

    Racines restaurant is matching donations. Supporting that and going down there as a group might be better then trying to do our own thing as it means more money to the cause.

    Are you guys up for that?

    7th & Sherman near the Golden Triangle neighborhood? How's the food? Never been, but I'm down, especially if they're matching!

    I am pretty sure wildfiretees.com is NOT a scam (I'm not affiliated in any way). I heard about it on the news last night. Additionally,

    - The Colorado Springs Business Journal mentions it
    - A video of the cause was featured on KRDO News 13

    I thought about trying to get that done. I don't think it would be cheap though.

    Not in my book. You can either laugh or cry about it all, I'd rather laugh.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.
