ATTN- BOTANICALS PEOPLE-topia & the recession- april fundraiser

Hippie3 · 03-29-09, 12:17

well,
the economy is kicking my ass.

sales are down about 1/3 to 1/2,
donations are neglible
and the bills keep rolling in.

bottom line
we need to raise $500 in the near future
else i may be forced
to pull the plug on topia.

i just cannot afford to send the little i have
off to pay for a site that isn't returning
that expense back to me.

i have to pay my rent and utilities first-
and as it stands
that means
i will not be able to
come up with the server fees.

i'm already in a bad way
due to this month's server fee and credit card fees, etc.
i had to send off most of what i had left
to the phone company
or i'd have lost my internet tomorrow.

i'm down to about twenty in my pocket
and fifty in the bank.
that's it, all i have.
so
if you want to see topia around next month
plz help me thru this crunch.
i don't have much of anything to auction off,
already sold my guitar.

anyone got stuff they can donate to auction off ?

thx!

coorsmikey · 04-23-09, 19:04

I'm in for $50! We can get though this rough time. I got some cube prints to donate or auction as well. I can even donate some time and labor, How about some Bomb ass silicone port Tyvek filtered lids.

Hippie3 · 04-23-09, 20:18

thx!
i'll get that topia sticker decal out to ya.

coorsmikey · 04-23-09, 21:15

Awe Shit I feel like its my birthday now, I always wanted a topia sticker. Just a side note for other readers... every lil bit ads up. For the ppl that can spare $5 or whatever you can do, In numbers make a big difference. If it came down to it I would be willing to pay a membership fee just to keep it up and running. Let's not have it go that direction.I love the info, the comradory, just to be able to chat w/ the wonderful ppl here. This site is my home page, and weither i log on, I check it out first thing every morning. Loosing Topia would be like loosing family to me. So everyone lets have that Topia spirit and help out however you can. " Make it Count!" If every one person threw out just one peice of litter every day, our streets would be really trashed. Right? Ect. Ect If every one planted a tree, or if everyone grew shrooms..... or if everyone contributed to topia. Get my Point?? Thanks Hip3 and to all that help make this place as cool as it is!

matits · 04-29-09, 19:13

Hippie3 · 04-29-09, 19:14

if you want wide mouth PF tek lids with tyvek, I will send you i think 10 or twelve, whetever I have, once hip has some loot from you. Brand new never used.

StroFun · 05-08-09, 17:37

Hey hip,

I finally ran out of that incense i got from you a while ago so next paycheck i should be able to get some more incense or at least a (killer) shirt.

Hip you should try offering the mycotopia dvds at a discount and hype up the fact that this could be it. That dvd is quite informative.

Good luck Hip Mycotopia is a very nice forum and it would be a shame to see it go. I haven't been back to see what all you got going on but you could also make up some PDFs from choice info to sell for like 5 bucks or do some other vip package deal that has no out of pocket for you to generate income. The archive's have quite a bit of info that has helped me personally and i would be willing to give like 5 bucks a pop for certain topics.

If you can find me a kratom seedling/rooted cutting or 4 i would be willing to adopt with a reasonable fee from yourself.
Hang in there Hip, personally i only know one person whom is making it through this recession with ease and he works for BMW so he is set for as long as he has a job.

Later-
Stro
