Pledge Week

UPDATE:  Yesterday was a very, very good day in the Pledge Drive department.  Thanks to everyone who fed the kitty yesterday.

So today’s the last day of the “Pledge Week”.  Thanks to everyone – for stopping by and reading these past 11 years.

But I’ll put the link up one more time, just in case

——–

I haven’t done an actual bleg – a blog fundraiser – on Shot In The Dark for about four years now.

Partly because it felt a little presumptuous, in this lousy economy.  Partly because it just never occurred to me to want to.

Anyway – much as I’d like to do an Andrew-Sullivan-style “Please pony up $80K or I’ll have to leave blogging”-style bleg twice a year, it’s just not true.  I’ll keep writing Shot In The Dark no matter what.

But if the mood strikes you, feel perfectly free to drop a buck or two in the kitty. I’d be much obliged.




Unlike MPR, I’m not going to interrupt programming for twenty minutes at a shot, here.

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Fixed the link. Sorry – and thanks!

  1. Is there any way a person could just mail a donation; drop a few bucks or a check in an envelope?

  2. There is, if you’d prefer. Shoot me an email at the yahoo.com address “feedbackinthedark” and I’ll send you a mailing address.

    Thanks!

  3. If you were going to be like MPR you’d need to offer special SiTD gifts at various donation levels. You know, like if you give $50 you get the booklet, “Fact Chick: The Collected Comments and Comedy Stylings of Dog Gone”

  4. Night:

    Oh, my. What a fantastic idea.

    No, not the collected comments of DG – but a premium “gift” of sorts. Hmmm.

    I’ve got an idea. Next pledge week.

  5. What if one were to buy all of your beer at the next MOB event? Would that count as a “donation?” 🙂

  6. Sorry Paypal is a non-starter with me.
    For a person who is supposed to be an exemplar of the modern, hi-tech entrepeneur, Elon Musk depends an awful lot on government subsidies to make money (SpaceX, Fiskar).
    There would be no market for manned and unmanned flights to the ISS ,and no market for pricey electric cars, w/o wasteful government spending.
