[update] nashville reached. goal exceeded. y'all. rock. socks.
I am safely in the home of 7rouble and hnmic, reading Stephen Dobyns and waiting on sausage mashed potatoes.
$2527.29 in Paypal, local and mailed donations.
$4930 in auction bids.
7457.39 raised to save Dave's land...all of what we need, and a cushion. batshua says next goal is $1K; we'll see how that goes. :D
Anything that comes in via Paypal before tomorrow morning will also go in the cashier's check that Dave is getting tomorrow night. There is a small possibility that the party will be rain-checked until next weekend; most of Tennessee is experiencing a Noah-esque downpour. We don't cancel the party for rain or cold, but we do cancel it for both, or when the ground in the field gets so saturated that we can't safely get cars down to the field. We'll know by noon tomorrow. If it is, we're all meeting Dave at his house to break the news, and then we're all going to Monster Boo to celebrate (which is the brain-baby hellacious dance event of another Friend of the Party.)
The first auctions begin closing tomorrow, Saturday, October 31, so go take last glances.
Y'all have and continue to do amazing things. One way or another, tomorrow Dave will have the first day of the rest of his life in his house and on his land...and that's a beautiful thing.
Love to all of you. We're going to eat sausage mash and watch The Princess Bride with Justin, who hasn't ever seen it before, and I'm going to do Civ until bedtime. Love!
