really wish I had just donated directly. some animals could have been actually helped over these many months.

I'm just sayin'

What are you talking about? Am I missing something?

the money given to Acow for the cover project.

he hasn't updated anyone about that in a while, I don't think he's even posted in a long time.

Oh. People gave it to him instead of FS? That seems unnecessary/stupid to me.

Edit: Apparently : X = angry face instead of my-mouth-is-shut face on these forums.

Well the reason we gave it to him was so that FS could get it all in a lump sum. But I would like an update on the project. Anybody heard from acow? I never even got my copy of the comp.

Colon Pounded: internet scammer.

Whoda thunk?

(Yeah okay I'd feel pretty bad if he were in like a coma somewhere, but I feel like that's highly unlikely.)

Maybe he spent all of the money on crack and feels too ashamed to face the community.

Because his mommy reads the forums!

(I hope someone remembers this and doesn't think I'm just joking.)

If his mom does read the forums, do you think she would make a post if something happened to him?

Has anybody tried emailing him?

It's just a noise. A noise you hear. When everything is awesome

Wait, I figured it out. He spent the money on crack, employing a hooker for a weekend, and enough gas to drive to Mexico while playing "Horseradish Road" on a continuous loop.

Do you think he's the guy in "Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace"?

He's got a myspace. Anyone want to message him on it? [www.myspace.com]

DON'T GIVE UP. I tweeted at him with my public account but clearly he did not see it (it's not like he follows that account) or either really is a scammer.

Well, this is just shitty.

I'm no physician, but there appears to be a dagger in my chest.

Um, you guys... can we assume for now that it's an honest mistake? Despite not being around here for ages, acow was a pretty active member of the community. Let's get this sorted before resigning ourselves to bitter disappointment.

Maybe, but I have a hard time seeing JD doing that.

hey y'all

couple people brought this to my attention. here's the deal. the last plans i knew of were me holding on to the money until the zine got published, then pooling all that together and making the donation. i've got the dough, just waiting on the word. what do you all want to do?

it was actually 2 7"s btw and the mastering date was 5/1, I cancelled it this a.m.

This is why you should be nice to everyone.

Have you been keeping it in a savings acct, gaining interest?

The last post I saw from you, said if the zine wasnt published by the time you left for culinary school in august, youd go ahead and send fs the money. I have no idea what the zine has to do with this but I think it best at this point to go ahead and send it all to fs and document to the community the amount, you posted at one point that you would post the individual donations, etc. I cant imagine there were a very large number of individual donors, so please do whatever is needed to confirm for each who donated that their money has been sent on to fs. I really dont mean to be a dick or paranoid about this but it has been a while. I do believe you have and will continue to act under the spirit of your original idea which was really great. Anyway, lets go ahead and put the money where it will help one or more critters soon. Thanks for the idea and your efforts in making it happen.

Peace.

Yeah I think that's a fair point. If the money's there, why not donate it, regardless of the zine's status?

Good on you, Colin, for letting us know what's going on. I respect you for that.

colin, to the best of my knowledge (which is somewhat well-informed) the zine is on hiatus. we can all re-rally when that comes around, but you should go ahead with whatever plans you guys had for cd proceeds.

i just sit here in my cave and absorb your facts and figures.
