I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line.

There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction. As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this.

Some of the thousands of dollars on my credit card(s) archive orignated from my days running mountainboard races 1999-2002. Being an event promotor is 90% a thankless job, and very difficult to turn a profit at. Each year I got a little better, convicing sponsors that no more product was needed, just cash money to pay insurance etc.
I kept my WCR hotel reservations even though I had reservations about the expense! HHHmmmm....5K? Sounds like the price of a 2056. Maybe you could have another auction to raise funds? I had a great time at the WCR and loved my king size bed with cable TV! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
