Here's the deal guys.

Sparticus, one of our Supermoderators, bought a round trip ticket to the ABQ BBQ.

Notice that he's NOT HERE YET.

He pulled a stupid and accidently set his alarm for 4PM instead of 4AM and missed his flight.

Sparticus has done a lot for this site, and even after totalling his first RD2, and buying a Jetta, found the mistake in his ways and came back to buy a RD1.

He has had a rough month, breaking his arm and being on disability. So let's get him out here to have some fun as he had planned.

Remember, we did this for Javageek when his ticket got screwed for the Spring ABQBBQ, and raised well over $500 in a day. This site has also raised enough money to help a member keep his car from getting repo'd, and lots of other stuff.

Help out, it's a Karma thing.

It looks like we need to raise about $320 to be safe, as his return flight is okay.

Donations will get you a DVD of the event if we make one (Contact me if I still owe you one for the last BBQ), and a set of free Kspec.com Stickers of your choice. I also have some items from Nopi I will give away (Items we got at the show) to the biggest donations, not counting myself.

TOTAL NEEDED = $481

DONATIONS

REDZMAN - $30
Lizgiggles - $30
Jaws021 - $25
Patreezy - $35
Solohan50 - $36

Remaining $325

I will update the amount if it changes.

EDIT:

DUH. Send DONATIONS to REDZMANG@rdtiburon.com Sparticus doesn't have a paypal Debit Card so I will buy his ticket for him. Remember, paypal charges 3% for fees, and I will note your final donation.

Double Edit:

The idiots also canceled his outgoing flight from ABQ. So, now he needs a whole new ticket and LOSES OUT ON ALL OF HIS LAST TICKET. WTF?!?!?

Anyways, new price is $481. Help a brother out.

Jaws, thanks for your donation brotha.

Who else is going to help this downtrodden bastard?

BTW, so you know, I'm going to start up a secondary Paypal account after this, and set it up to earn interest. I will accept donations into this account and will NOT TOUCH IT FOR ANYTHING. This account will be raffled off in full for NEXT year's ABQ BBQ, to get someone a round trip ticket out here from abroad, and to pay for the festivities.

they cancelled his ticket without his consent on the return and didnt even offer him a refund?

Since he bought it through priceline, hes going to have to deal with their customer service.

first, i would like to extend my generosity to those who have donated or those that will. what you guys are willing to do is amazing, and all i can say is 'thank you'

now, Jaws, i did call up priceline, and they said because i was a 'no show' that it automatically cancels the return flight. and because it was a 'retail ticket' that they (priceline) can't do anything about it, it falls in the hands of the airlines...

and they tried quoting me a $1600 ticket. fing02.gif riiiiight

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot to add, sorry bro.
Don't forget guys 3% added to your donation (for the Credit Card Nazis).

I don't wanna raise all this money for Sparty and be 3% short of our goal, LOL.
