In the summer of 2011 Catherine (oberstingwithconor) and I held our first Tumblr meetup. It was a success with good people, good food, and good times!
This year, I'd like to see even more people!! This time we're going to start saving EARLY instead of scrambling at the last minute to find money. PLEASE DONATE TO OUR CAUSE! We'd like to out-do ourselves and it's going to be pretty hard since the prizes were so great and the Conor cupcakes were so amazing. BUT WE CAN TRY! Click the button below to donate!
but no one MADE you do the meet-up right? you should have done it because you wanted to and had the means. if you dont have the means, then it's cool, we understand. why can't asking for donations be enough, why do you need to sell merch? if no ones donating its because they dont want to. trying to lure them in with fake merch is kind of a waste. most of the profit is going to cafe press, not you, not the meetup, and certainly not bright eyes or saddle creek. just very confused....
anon what is your grand point here? that i’m some money hungry blogger out to prey on poor unsuspecting bright eyes fans? i made the merch shop because people wanted to have my silly designs and other stuff on t shirts and couldnt find it anywhere else. i get like a dollar a sale so that once i get enough i can buy my own shirt. i didnt do it to make money did it for you guys. lure them in with fake merch lol
for the donations i’m buying real saddle creek merch. t shirts and vinyls to give away from the saddle creek website. i’m not trying to profit off anyone. people are asking, begging for a second meetup. i just cant pay for it myself. i’m not exactly sure why i’m even defending myself here there are plenty of websites with ads and other ways of making money.
