Broke, but NEED to come to Rotary Fest!

After talking with Zach, he suggest I post something here asking for donations to help cover my travel expenses. Unfortunately, I'm broke as always ... and have a wedding coming up in a month. So cash is really tight right now. But I'm comitted to being at Rotary Fest on the 24th - partly because I've told Zach for months that I would be there, but mainly because I know it'll be a great time and I'm hoping to photograph some cars to be featured in upcoming issues of RX Tuner.

My point is, I'm hoping a few can spare a few bucks to help. My paypal is ryan@rxtuner.com Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

What I hope to give in return is some publicity for the event, and publicity for locals whose cars are worthy of magazine coverage. I would even be willing - time allowing - to do a photo shoot just for somebody's personal use, maybe you just want a nice 20"x30" of your car hanging in the den.

Anyway, if you donate, I'll do whatever I can when I get out there to return the favor.

Again, the paypal to send a donation is ryan@rxtuner.com

Thanks for reading

Not all that much, total trip should cost me around $500 - $600 ... and I can cover about 1/2.

Sent some money to you Ryan... maybe we can work something out for a small ad in a issue of RXtuner??? Or a break on advertising in the future.

Either way, hope my contribution helps and hope you can make it.

I got it Mark, thank you! And I'm certainly willing to cut breaks on advertising in the mag for friends. If we can come up with some ideas for good mag editorial, that's free advertising.

I'll be there, just hope I don't have to eat ramen for weeks to do it.

www.rxtuner.com is the easiest way to find the magazine. They have their own forum and everything there. It's a great magazine and also the only rotary specific magazine in the U.S.!!

The difference here is I sent Ryan money anyway... before asking for anything and regardless if if he was going to give me anything or cut me a break.

Try that approach.

He just wants to attend Nor Cal's biggest ever Rotary power vehicle meet.

Donate now!

Hey Andy, it is my fault that we haven't hooked up on setting you up as a vendor here. I know you have tried to contact me about it in the past. I can't say I'll let you have vendor status in exhange for a donation, but I certainly wouldn't forget it Do I give favors to my friends? Sure, who doesn't. Cigars are certainly the way to my heart, haha!

Thanks to Mark (Icemark) and Dave (Guitarjunkie28) for generous donations. I'm looking forward to meeting both of you.

Ryan, Check your paypal, youve got some help. Just look for the yellow fb and think how great it'd look on glossy paper

Ryan,

It is in the mailroom as we speak. Should be out to you in two or three days. Let me know when you receive it.

Chillax Mark..Please re-read your own post again before you try to set me straight. If you forgot here's the line:

"maybe we can work something out for a small ad in a issue of RXtuner??? Or a break on advertising in the future."

the pot calling the kettle black ??? I sure hope not.. doesn't seem that way to me.....

Read my second line also in my post, I've been trying to contact Ryan about advertising legitimately on the forum buddy, but he's just not very good about getting back to me. so ummm yeah..

You regulating my section for me Ryan? That's so sweet! haha. But seriously, just let it drop guys. It's not worth arguing about and I'm really not in the mood to delete posts today.
