Calling all philanthropists!

Methinks...no GC5 for me.

After a good, hard look at my finances...the need to repair my roof...the need to plumb my new cast iron bathtub...the desperate need to catch up on credit cards....unless some sugar daddy/momma comes along I don't believe I'll be able to do GothCruise 5.

This is a bummer. The little kid in me says "phuck it! when will you get to do this again? eat Ramen for the next year!"..but the adult in me says "You've sqeezed the life out of your budget just to make it to GC4. Give it a rest. Pay some bills. Get caught up before school financial aid runs out."

Damn. This also calls into question my ability even to make it to Convergence in August, unless I can do it on the mega cheap.

Poo. Anyone want to rent a trained Miranda? I'm house-broken (mostly), come when I'm called, and can sit pretty!

OK to use these photos?

All -

Recently, Annie Lok of Columbia New Service (Columbia University) contacted me. She's doing an article about Gothcruise. She interviewed me, and she's interested in possibly using 4 photos for the article.

I know some people opted out of appearing in Jeannie Ruby's film, so I wanted to check here and make sure it was okay for these to (possibly) be used in print.

The photos are as follows:

If you object strongly to your image being published, I will not give permission for that photograph. Thanks, good peeps.
