Previously, I mentioned Ziggurat Con and how we're accepting donations for a big box of gamer goodness to send to the troops in IRAQ.
Well, it's gone totally bonzo. We currently have 6 large FULL boxes and at least that much more coming in over the weekend. Numerous companies and individuals, both local and remote have pitched in and also spread the word.
We've gotten mentioned in the local papers, the radio and a number of blogs.
But... (there's always a but) the shipping bill is climbing. QUICKLY. It's already gotten to the point that it's a little painful for me and Reality Check. I can handle a little pain, but there's a lot more pain (and gamer goodness) coming this weekend from out of town.
So... if anyone feels like pitching in and helping out with the shipping, it would be much appreciated. You're still donating to an excellent cause. Every cent that comes in will be spent on shipping, and if there's somehow money left over, it will go to buy more gamer goodness to ship. Every cent goes into this project.
