BIG BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME
Last year we spent way too much money on the Dystopia Party.
It was a blast, we're glad we did it, and we wouldn't take
anything back, but the price tag just crept up on us.
Fortunately, this year we've already got a lot of things left
over from last year that'll help keep costs down. Still, in
order to keep things fresh, not to mention rent the room, we'll
likely be dropping another good lot of money, and we're happy to
do it.
Still, we figured this year we'd be crazy not to do what we
can to defray the expense. We don't put out a tip jar at the
party, 'cause avoiding its theft is more of a hassle than
it's worth and everyone's already low on cash while they're at
con, but we've got a few other ways you can help us out if
you're so inclined.
T-SHIRT SALES
We print our Dystopia party logo in durable, multi-run white
on black, high-quality t-shirts -- this isn't any cafe press
nonsense. Like last year we'll be giving away a few as prizes,
but for the most part availability is limited to party staff.
However, we do have a limited number we're making available for
sale. The shirts aren't available yet, but we guarantee
delivery before Convergence. We run Large and X-Large sizes and
charge $15 each. If you're interested please email finance
<at> dystopiaparty <dot> org for details.
CAFE PRESS
Using Cafe Press allows us to sell items with our logo on
them without any enforced minimum quantities. Their quality,
while not that of our primary t-shirt producer, is pretty good
for one-off work. Unfortunately, almost everything they sell is
white. White's a fine color for a lot of things, but
Convergence related clothing pretty much demands black. Still,
they've got some nice items that aren't white and some that
are okay in white. We've pre-productized a few of them which
you can find in our shop,
but if there's anything on their list
of products you'd like, just email finance <at>
dystopiaparty <dot> org, and we'll quickly set it up
for you. Our take on the cafe press items is only $1 per, so
this is mostly just a promotional setup. Still, any purchases
are certainly appreciated.
DONATIONS
As mentioned, we don't put out a tip jar during the party
because we try to provide a guilt-free party environment, but
that doesn't mean we're above asking for handouts on-line.
Plus, a donation of any size will get your name added somewhere
in our decor. Maybe you'll be a traitor or a government
official. Who knows, but we'll make sure you get mentioned in
some capacity. Donations can be made through Pay Pal using the
