Not as exciting as NIN, but probably more important... I’m getting locked up!!

Seems by opening my own business, I've become one of those members of the community who gets called upon to participate in charity-type things. Specifically, I'm participating in tomorrows "Lock-Up" event for the MDA. You know, Jerry's Kids. The telethon and all.

So, yeah. I'm going to go to Bass Pro tomorrow and put on the convict stripes and sit in front of a telephone for an hour trying to raise money. Both the MDA and I would prefer, though, if I showed up with some of my bail already raised.

Okay, yeah, it's short notice. See, I only got the necessary materials maybe a week ago, and then NIN kind of intervened, so....

Anyway, even if you dear friends of mine could just find it in your heart to give five bucks, that would be AWESOME! And there's two easy ways to help out:

1. Go to https://www.joinmda.org/springfieldmo2008/artist and donate via the MDA's secure donation page just for me. There's an option at the bottom of the suggested donation amounts to just give the amount you want, so don't freak out when you see the amounts they suggest.

2. If you're around downtown today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday) before about 2pm, feel free to drop by my store (Fashioned By Jaye) at 212 South Campbell and donate there. We can take cash, checks made out to MDA, or credit cards. Even if you want to dig the change out of your car or couch and bring it by, that would be cool. Seriously.

Thanks!

Jaye
