It’s blegging time.
Chris Clarke and Amanda Marcotte are coordinating a blitz across the blogosphere to raise money to send Our Founder, Lauren, to the BlogHer conference in San Jose at the end of July. Amanda got the conference to waive fees for Lauren in exchange for a panel appearance, but she still needs airfare and associated expenses so she can actually attend. What with being a single mom and new graduate in an entry-level job, airfare and associated expenses are hard to come by. Especially with that knitting habit.
We know you love Lauren. We know you know there’s no one who more deserves to go to BlogHer than the founder of this blog, who took it from nothing and built it into what it is today. So head on over to Chris’s place and throw a few bucks into the donation bucket (Chris also has info for those who prefer not to donate through Amazon).
There was somebody on this site named Lauren? Weird!
Just kidding, everybody should donate, the overage will go to premium cat food (i.e. not made of ash and carrots).
I will definitely donate just as soon as i get pizzaid.
Lauren should keep the remainder to fed Doug. But instead, any money left over she’s donating to a “women and tech” type charity.
But Doug’s wasting away! He’s under 100 pounds!
How did you know I love Lauren? You been reading my diary?
