CURRENT STATUS:
38 PARTICIPANTS, 63 AUCTIONS
$2174
(Last totaled: 1/20 @ 1:50 AM by

OUR GOAL: $2298
(Obviously, word of our fabulousness has spread.
Because we have added 29 members since Day 1.
WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM? I MEAN, I LIKE IT. BUT STILL.)
95% TO GOAL!
Ok, guys. This is really my last chance. Bidding ends at noon tomorrow. I know, with the fabulous writers, artists, vidders, graphics-makers, etc. we have around these parts, those last few minutes before noon are going to be crazy. But you know what? I'd rather not leave it to chance. You guys stepped it up last night with the donations to the UNICEF fund. This is our chance to shine. We can do this. We can hit our goal for $1 for every member we have here. I know it.
Your challenge tonight.
$557. HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER. MAKE THAT $120.
Compared to what we've done so far, it's tiny. You know the drill by now. Any additional auctions, lightning rounds, side deals, or outside the US donations - just make sure I see them. Comment to this post. PM me. Email me at juniperlane at livejournal.com. The minimum to donate at UNCIEF is $5, the minimum to donate at Architecture for Humanity is $1. That's right. $1.
THIS IS HOW SERIOUS BUSINESS I AM ABOUT MEETING OUR GOAL: The first 50 individuals who donate $1 to Architecture for Humanity - just $1, that's all I want from you, seriously. I WILL MATCH YOUR DONATION. BOOM, there's $100 down. I want to see 50 comment replies in a row that say, I donated a dollar, I will foward my email confirmation (minus my personal details) to juniperlane at livejournal.com. (And when you forward it to me, please include your LJ name somewhere so I can verify and thank you profusely.) [9:47 pm, 9/50 SPOTS TAKEN.]
Thank you, Paradox, for letting me pester you on a daily basis. I appreciate your time, your attention, and the enthusiasm I have seen over the past week. Soon I will be out of your hair, I promise. If you missed any of the earlier posts,
we have a handy tag for the help_haiti efforts. (Also, if you want, I have been pimping auctions, and giving out updates over
at twitter, if you want to watch me panic until noon tomorrow. Or follow
the comm twitter, which frequently RTs me.)
ETA: I'm trying to keep up with you guys! Remember, I'm matching the $1 Architecture for Humanity donations. Please try to comment in the right thread, and comment before you forward the email, if possible. It will just make things easier for me. I know we've made progress tonight, but I also know we're not there yet. KEEP IT GOING.
