Getting Del the Cat to the Classic!
« on: March 06, 2014, 07:03:55 pm »
Last year folks went out of their way to make sure I got to the Classic. It was a humbling experience and I spent a lot of time wondering how I could take this and do the Classic PA Thing. How could I pass it along.

Well, I had a windfall come my way this last year and I stuffed it in a mason jar and buried it in the backyard.  I am ponying that windfall up for seed money to see this thing off!  So folks, think about how cool it would be to bring Del the Cat over to the Tennessee Classic!  Imagine the clash of culture as a funny talking foreigner tries to talk bows with funny talking southerners (all this coming from a funny talking almost-Canadian).  That should be worth the price of admission, in the least! Heck, we might even get a great article in P.A. out of this!

Airfare is about $1,200 and I already have the first 25% IN HAND - IN CASH! Do you think we can do this, I do!

Go dig the spare change out of the couch cushions, empty the coffee can of nickels and dimes, go sell a pint or two of plasma, and let me know what you can chip in!  Send me a private message and I will keep posting a running tally.

I will pitch in a shiny bit or two.  Let us know how to.  Paypal might be the easiest way.

I don't know if it would work or not but mods, would it be okay if we raffled off one of my knives here on PA? And all the money would go take gettin del over for the classic.

JW:  How much time do we have?  If the knife thing works out maybe I can make a canteen to auction also!  I will be in Africa during this years Classic which makes me sick inside so would have to have the canteen done long before then.  They do take several days to make  Joe

No, I don't have a PayPal account. How hard are they to set up? I imagine they take a bite of every apple that passes thru...how big is their bite?

Its not hard to set up.  You link it to a bank account.  I'm not sure what percentage they keep but it isn't much.  It makes transferring money very easy.  A few clicks on the keyboard and you can send whatever you want to a person.  When you receive the money you can choose the option to put it in your bank account.  It takes 2-3 days to actually make it into your bank.  I opened a new checking account at the credit union and use that for paypal.  I wanted to keep it separate from our main account for safety reasons.

Big thanks to those that are chipping in.  Going to open a second checking account at my bank and them establish the PayPal account.  Should have that up and rolling early next week.
