The un-offical Support Ashvegas thread

Well, folks, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve added that little yellow button in the right-hand column of this page to ask for your support. I’ve done gone Jim and Tammy Faye on your butts. I’m begging for Jesus.

Ok, I’m not doing that. But I am asking you to pay for your salvation, if you find salvation (or at least take small pleasure in) the nuggets of information you find here, or the photos I post here, or the assorted rants here, or whatever. Like a lot of people in Asheville, I consider myself an artist just trying to scrape together a living.

I’m campaigning, and I’m asking you to vote with your dollar. Consider your donation a gift, or a subscription, or a down payment on a little bit of redemption.

And thank you, thank you, loyal readers.

Scrutiny Hooligan told me I had to donate, so I did.

Aha, so this is who is in charge. I’m just a sheep. I need direction. How much do I contribute Mr. Scrutiny? Or is it Mr Hooligan?

Hey Miss Daisy! I’d suggest whatever you feel like giving.

Is there a suggested donation? One, five, ten, five thousand? Better this than ads!

Don’t think it’s pitiful at all. Well, the economy is, but asking for money for good work is not. We get a service, now we have an option to tip for it. Ain’t no shame in any of that.
