The New Organissimo Telathon Thread

[AllenLowe]

allright boys and girls, I feel like Spanky in the Little Rascals saying, "let's put on a play." But instead we're gonna put our money where our mouths are (no hooker jokes, please) and start a round-the-clock telathon pledge drive. Pledge your dough and than post here about how much you pledged and when - and than commit to a monthly or a bi-monthly or whatever - need at least an extra $150/month. If we raise $300 a month Jim can take a vacation. $600 a month and he can have another kid - $1000 a month and he can tell us all to go to hell and than close the site down -

allright, who's first?

allright, I just contributed $12.50 - Jim, I meant to send $10, I think I just ordered something else, but don't worry, just take the money and run -

[AllenLowe]

and by the way, I'll volunteer to handle the monthly email, Jim, if you're overwhlemed - if I can get a list and figure out how the hell to do it -

why do I feel like Norman Bates all of a sudden? Well, maybe because I wouldn't hurt a fly -

[AllenLowe]

and now I feel like Strom Thurmond - must be the filibuster -

[AllenLowe]

hope I'm in the right Organissimo category; moderators, let me know -

where's everybody? Nuclear war? Cloud of mustard gas?

[AllenLowe]

boy, I picked a bad day to give up amphetamines -

Paypal contribution done!

[AllenLowe]

wow, Brownie just gave $10,000 - who's next?

[AllenLowe]

sorry, that was 10,000 Lire -

[MoGrubb]

Got change for a $1 mil bill?

[Uncle Skid]

What's the deal with the $2.50 shipping costs?

Not a problem, of course, as long as that goes to the cause as well.

[ghost of miles]

I'm not giving a cent until I see Jerry Lewis.

Or Jerry Lee Lewis.

Or Allen Lowe as Jerry Lee Lewis in the forthcoming attraction, FROM MINSTREL TO MOJO PART 2: SOUTHERN-FRIED ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.

The donatin' deed has been done.

[Free For All]

Payment sent. Thanks again for providing such a great place to hang, Jim!

As much of a pain as this place can be for you, Jim, I'd sure hate to see it go away. It's definitely the most fun, informative and well-tempered of all the jazz sites IMHO. Keep up the good work, my man!

Cheers to Organissimo!

[Free For All]

BTW, I'll donate again if Jim promises to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at some point.

[Aggie87]

If you go to paypal on your own (instead of the link above) and donate to b3groover@hotmail.com, you'll avoid the $2.50 charge. May or may not be a big deal, as long as the $2.50 goes to Jim too. But in case it doesn't, that's a workaround.

[clifford_thornton]

I get paid at the end of the week and will donate then...

[brownie]

sorry, that was 10,000 Lire -

Give me a better way of getting rid of all those banknotes from Old Europe

[AllenLowe]

allright...contributions are up to .98 - keep up the good work, people.

"What the world needs now..."

this is working out even better than the Prickly Heat Telathon -

[AllenLowe]

I think my next thread will be: Insulting All the People That Alfredson Depends Upon to Make A Living.

let's see - well, actually, I think we've already done that -

[AllenLowe]

let's bump for more cash - surely more people can give immediately -

[paul secor]

Just wrote Jim a check - hope that works too. It's going in the mail in about half an hour when I go out.

Haven't contributed in a while & it felt good to do so.
