New fund drive, help crowdfund my fiction.

So I started a crowdfunding drive over at Daron’s Guitar Chronicles a few weeks back, but I’m going to change the focus a bit starting today and make the participation a little more urgent, perhaps?

For every $100 raised before May 7th (this Friday), Daron will come out to someone new. We’re currently only $45 from someone right now! Put in a donation of any amount and you get to vote on who he tells next! Not only that, he’ll do it before May is out.

Previous poll software on the site didn’t work that well, so just put your choice of who in the message section of your donation at Paypal. Possible choices include: Christian, Digger, Martin (Remo’s drummer), Colin (roadie) & housemates, the media, et al. (Long lost family, perhaps?)

Find all the donation options spelled out on the Tip Jar page: http://daron.ceciliatan.com/tip-jar

You have until Friday! If you have been meaning to donate to Daron’s Guitar Chronicles recently, now’s the time!

Aeternitas con post #4 (wrapup)

First off, anyone who’s got photos of me from Aeternitas please send them to me or links to where they’re up! (Me having forgotten camera and all…)

The “Magic Is Forever” Ball was terrific fun, as these things usually are. It’s like HP cons are full of people who remember how awful our junior proms were and are determined not to let that happen again. Haha. People dance and sing and generally have a great time. And the costumes! Man, the costumes. Draco LePage cosplayed as Michael Jackson. We had some in full ball gowns, Death Eaters in dress robes, you name it. (Apparently the whole idea for Aeternitas started with Amanda wanting to do a kind of Hogwarts Prom and it grew into a whole conference…)

Here’s me from my blurry cell phone camera, dolled up for the ball and wearing my Magic U tarot-themed hat, made for me by Soiled Doves Mercantile after they read and loved the books! http://lockerz.com/s/97534249 Yes, that’s the Tarot reading Kyle gets his first day at Veritas, all four cards. :-) It was my first time actually *wearing* the hat in public and it was perfect for a magical ball.

While at the ball, I got a “Felix Felicis” cocktail from the hotel bartenders and it turns out the golden color in the potion is from tequila. Man, that thing was strong.

One of the bartenders was a young bald guy who wore a cape most of the weekend and pretended to be Tom Riddle. He apparently changed his Facebook nickname to Dark Lord Bartender so we can all friend him.

James Snape also had his telescope out so that those who wanted to actually see Saturn on Saturnalia could. Seeing Saturn never fails to move me.

After the ball GatewayGirl and I went and hung out at the Snarry Suite for a while, then
