Title: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on March 27, 2008, 08:58:46 PM I don't know if any of you have read Doug's article about this year's generator stage (http://www.tastyfresh.com/content/view/470/68/) at Cstone, but like last year we need to raise some funds to make it happen. We will make this stage a central hangout during the day for anybody walking by, we will be throwing out some great tunes all day long as well as serving lunch while it lasts. This is an important chance to really promote the action in the barn each night. It's also a great place just to relax.
Even though we have a generator through last year's donations, we have to have a tent and a stage. Jeremy's van isn't going to make it out this year so we will need to rent a tent from the company providing tents for the festival. We'll also need money for the food we plan to cook and give away for free. Then, there's the issue of gas and sound. Also, for the record, had Jeremy not offered the van last year, our costs would have been well over $2,000. He really did put a lot of time and effort into it and it worked out great. I'll miss the van this year. All in all, we will need to raise about $1,300 this year. Any cash gathered above what we actually need will go toward other things in the Barn such as decorations not included in the Cstone budget. So again, we need money for the following:
There are two ways to help us get the cash. The first and easiest is to donate via PayPal.com. The second is to buy your tickets through Tastyfresh. The first means more of your money goes directly to this stage. The second means you save 5% on your ticket price and we get about 3% of the ticket sales. Whatever you feel led to give is fine, but please consider giving and supporting our efforts at Cstone. You can donate and purchase your tickets on the official Afterhours page (http://www.tastyfresh.com/afterhours/). Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising.

Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on April 03, 2008, 11:17:16 AM $35.00.
We need... MORE! Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: chipset3183 on April 08, 2008, 02:09:22 PM I got my ticket through the link. I hope this helps. ;D
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on April 08, 2008, 02:16:30 PM That reminds me... it's got the wrong link on it. :(
Thanks for helping. My bad that I didn't get the cash though. Ugh. Need to fix that. Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on April 10, 2008, 12:58:29 PM We're officially at $165 and change. That means we're 1/8th of the way to our goal. We're going to have to put in our order for the tent soon so we need to hit at least $400 in the next week or so.

Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: djCzechos on April 10, 2008, 05:15:20 PM Question. I know it will be a bit after the fact, but could I or anyone for that matter, give some cash at the time of the festival? It's been awesome seeing the em culture at the festival go through it's ups and downs, and be what it is today at cstone. Been coming since 1999. The generator stage last year truly was a blessing, and will undoubtedly be this year as well. Thanks for all your hard work guys.
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on April 10, 2008, 06:54:53 PM You can give at anytime. We just need to have this amount up front. Any extra will go to cover travel expenses and other needs. Doug is severely UNDER paid this year.

We need about $1,300 Post by: Christopher Carl on April 30, 2008, 03:58:32 PM This is ridiculous! DONATE!
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 06, 2008, 12:59:44 PM OK... I just put in the chipin widget thingy. You still use paypal. The donation meeting is wrong, We have $455 right now. So... we're 34% there. I'm trying to see if they can up that on their DB. Dunno though.
If you plan to give, now is the time. We need to have the BULK of this within a week or two so we can fully commit to this. Also, feel free to use the copy tab to grab some code and place it on your site. Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Responsible T on May 06, 2008, 01:16:36 PM will donate a.s.a.p.

We need to have the BULK of this within a week or two so we can fully commit to this. Let me say on this note that if the generator stage won't happen, I can't commit to coming to Cornerstone this year. So DONATE!Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 06, 2008, 02:23:08 PM Speaking of which... you and I need to talk.
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Christopher Carl on May 06, 2008, 02:25:19 PM OK Call me on my cell. I am available.
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: deeflash on May 07, 2008, 12:18:07 PM We still need a large chunk of funds! If you can please help out in any way, even $5, we appreciate it! The generator stage will be first off a great way to advertise for the barn and the tastyfresh.com community. We also want it to be a great place for people to stop by, chill, hang out, and build some relationships with people who love EDM. There is a huge variety of people who come to Cornerstone and they're always looking for something new to check out and we want to make a huge impression this year and hope to then build some new relationships which will in turn bring more people to tastyfresh.com.
If you can not make it this year and feel like since you can't make it and won't be able to be a part of the generator stage or the barn, this is a great opportunity to help and also in the end you will be a part of the generator stage by supporting it and meeting the people we meet there when they come to the forums afterwards. Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 07, 2008, 12:57:08 PM We currently have $468 and I'm trying to get the fund meter updated to reflect this.
That leaves us with $832 to go. If 21 people give $40, we're done. If 42 people give $20, we're done. If 84 people give $10, we're done. This isn't impossible. Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Responsible T on May 07, 2008, 01:17:33 PM 40 USD sent, it's a good investment. See you there, brothers and sisters.
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: deeflash on May 07, 2008, 01:35:24 PM Awesome! So we have broken the $500 barrier now and we're at $508 now!! :-X
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 07, 2008, 01:38:56 PM $508 minus paypal fees. Hmmm... I should thought about that aspect too. Whoops!
Thanks Andy. Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Christopher Carl on May 07, 2008, 01:49:33 PM Grrr PayPal fees. Everytime someone donated money to help me out I always lost a bit because of that. And you can't get around it because as soon as someone id paying/donating with a credit card, they make you upgrade your personal account to a business account, thus causing your account to start getting hit with the fees. :police:
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 07, 2008, 02:02:38 PM yeah, but I'd rather GET the money than NOT get it. ;) At least Chipin doesn't take more.

Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 07, 2008, 02:40:25 PM $769 to go.
Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 13, 2008, 07:38:48 AM We're still at $531. We need to get more if this is going to happen. We're not going commit to renting the tent unless we have at least $1,000.

Title: Re: Generator Stage Fund Raising. We need about $1,300 Post by: Dave Richards on May 13, 2008, 08:38:27 AM Less talk about who's on what currency. If it's worth more than the USD, please give!
