David, put me down for an extra shirt as well… I’m sorry about the theft, it always sucks to get ripped like that.

I have lots of T-shirts, but I’m inclined to agree with Deb. I’d give you $20 happily for good karma alone.

I'm in for a t-shirt & I'd like to have a different BarCamp t-shirt for every day of the week!

The CafePress idea is a good one, as well as the PayPal donation idea. CafePress and similar vendors have shirt styles that are more boob-enhancing, for our girl geeks.

OK, I've held back on the topic but it's time, since we're talking finances I hate the t-shirts. I'm a girl. I don't wear stuff like that. It doesn't show off my boobs. It makes me look like, like. a boy geek with something stuck under her shirt. I don't need another shirt at all, BUT I'd gladly give you $20 to attend BarCamp in the fist place. In fact, I did and so did a few other people through the Fundable.org EatsForGeeks fundraiser! I

I wonder how many people would give you the money without the shirt? Didn't they do something like that at DrupalCamp? I only heard

I don't think it's rude to ask people for money, but the spirit of BarCamp might be to ask them but not make attendance contengent on payment. When I walked around with my hand out to solve the pizza-deficit problem on the Saturday, people were really happy to hand me 5, 10 or 20 dollars. Thanks to all you generous people!

I appreciate your putting the numbers for BarCampTdot in a public place & thanks. And I'm really sorry to hear about the keg & rotten. See you at DemoCamp, I'll bring you another 20

Bryce. You rock.

Dave, count me in for any support. Order me 2 T-Shirts and let me know what else we can do.

I would be at the next democamp, but I will be on the road.

I’ll be buying tshirts for all my family for Xmas. Here is your Democamp shirt Granddad…

I hate that this has happened and the last thing I want is this to detract from the awesomeness of our last BarCamp, and I really appreciate the support of David, Jay, Michael and everyone at Radiant Core.

I promise to BarCamp extra hard in the future to make this community as special to everyone as it is to me.

Thanks

I hate to be capitalist and everything, but why not start a BarCampTdot blog over on wordpress.com, give author permissions to a half dozen guys. I can even setup Rmail to auto publish anything from guy X's blog with the category torcamp (or other). Then you put up some ads courtesy AdSense. Whenever there's news related to torcamp, you point there. Add donate to torcamp PayPal button. Add lots of torcamp merchandise via CafePress and this thing will take care of the deficit and create a running surplus. MHO.
