Mainers: Help Me Represent Maine at Small Town 2012

Mainers: A week-and-a-half ago, I asked for help in my indiegogo campaign to raise money to go to Kansas in November to speak at the #140conf SmallTown: Exploring the State of NOW in Small Towns conference.

Here is why this may be of interest to you.

  • I will make cool stuff for you in exchange for your generous contribution
  • The State of Now 140 Small Town 2012 conference has only 20 states represented in its speakers and I am the only Maine speaker.
  • My topic is Another Glorious Day in Suck City: How Facebook and blogging help my family cope with my father’s terminal illness
  • I will share my trip with the world! Start in Maine, end in Kansas. Turn around and go back again.

So far, I’ve raised $145. [$100 was sent to me as a check by a relative, and therefore is not reflected in the total.] I have a long way to go.

Please believe in me and support this endeavor.

It’ll make you stronger and better looking!
