Eighteen percent already.In fourteen hours.That?Is awesome.

 

I’d love to talk more about your awesomeness, but I have to go measure the bathroom stalls down the hall to see if the tomato costume is going to allow me into them.In the meantime, I’d like to announce a mini-prize: anyone who contributes to the Oort project today is eligible to win a copy of Space Camp on DVD!(You’re still eligible for other prizes.)

 

Good job, lads and lasses.Keep it up.

    25% now, on the first day of the contest. Sars, you better find that tomato costume, stat.

  • Rachel says:

    I just threw in $317.65 to help kiddies in Indianapolis get xylophones and learn about music! I wonder if we could rent a bunch of kids and dress them up like tomatoes too so Sars has a posse?

  • Margaret in CO says:

    The Oort project page now shows”This proposal was fully funded on October 1, 2007.”

    I’m proud to know ya.

    Good thinking, measuring those stalls, Sars. Nothing worse than a tomato wiggling around doing the pee dance!

  • Margaret in CO says:

    30% now – 19 projects fully funded.

    It’s like watching the home team win a game, isn’t it? GO TEAM!!!

  • Don says:

    And now, 31%. Good thing you really love tomatoes.

  • Carena says:

    It’s at 32%, now… I keep checking on it, through the day. :)
    Are you going to wear a regular tomato costume, or a Bob the Tomato costume?

  • Laura says:

    32%? I’m thinking you might just need a whole series of vegetable costumes. One for each day of the week. ”

    If it’s Tuesday, I must be an eggplant.”

  • RB says:

    34% when I placed my donation. Still day one. If we double the goal or more, can we pick something else that you have to do? Because I love the idea of guest Vines from donors. If not, I suppose the satisfaction that comes with having accomplished such a freaking amazing group act of philanthropy will just have to suffice.

  • Laurabelle says:

    Yeah, you’re going to have to wear the costume to lunch with Jerry Yang.

    And explain to him why TWoP dumped Yahoo! for Bravo!
