that'd be a great idea except that in the town I live in we never get many ppl to come to yard sales, and never end up making much money at all.... & I don't have much stuff thats worth that much :wink:

I guess I could try...

lol! actually that is a cute idea Ghisy! *thinks* I know these are old ones but LOTS of people like someone to help them out in jobs like dog walking, washing cars etc. Although not the nicest things ever! How about you get a group of friends to do a yard sale or something? Something ACTUALLY good may come into my mind sometime soon! lol.xoxox

hmmm... BABYSIT! i dunno that's what i'd do... or you could do what me and some of my friends did one saturday in the seventh grade..... we wandered around the neighborhood, knocking on random people's front doors and asking them for donations to help fix the roof of our church. we were totally lying...lmao...by the end of the day, we'd made about 25 bucks. true story too. good times.

Okay- that is SO wrong-oh and ILLEGAL. lol, Gina sell lemonade! Or do something stupid and get your friends to sponsor you for it- how does that sound? Like having a bath of baked beans (okay maybe not), or eating something really rank, or wearing sth RIDICULOUS through your town centre- everyone is willing to pay money to see people make fools of themselves! I mean even 10 friends donating $5 is $50! And thats a 1/3 of your total! And i know you have more than 10 friends, lol.

Well Gina, you know I'd help, but I got about 25-30 bucks, and my moms gone to Utah and I'm living on that and whatever is in my kitchen for the next two weeks. So umm, cookies like Ghisy said was a really good idea, I'm sure lots of people would like them, but you'd also have to throw on something else. And there is always the pawn show  :twisted:

I second that. Make sure you don't have a dual role as a support person though. Then that's a bitch. Dealing with users....  :roll:

Of course, not happening anyway because those skillz don't come overnight....

well, you could always go to coconuts in vestal and see if you could work out a deal - like he'd do a cd signing if they helped to fund? i dunno if they would go for that but it would work!

i just saw your away message and i'll try to come and donate money...

and any odd jobs you can do - mow lawns if you have to. clean houses - sounds disgusting but can pay good money.

I would say that signing CD's is a good idea but, he's not big at all, no one would know who he was nor would the store have his album there so they probably wouldn't do it.  His album isn't sold in stores.  But if it were - that'd be a great idea.

Aww... I really hope you can come that'd rock!

Oooh ooh I have an idea!  instead of having a garage/yard sale, sell all your junk on eBay.  It works, that's how I make money sometimes, when I really need it.

I'll be getting a job in a couple weeks...

and trust me this show is worth it to me.   But he agreed to compromise on the $... whatever I could get he would probably be cool with.  Ya have to understand that he's a college student trying to make it in the industry and needs the money, he can't just do it for free.  He did that for me once already anyways.

You could fall back into a job of prostitution until needbe.

Maybe not... I would either borrow it from someone/some people, and then pay the back.
