Hello all. For those who read my last post I have an update. My car has been found. It is functional (thankfully) but is not in near as good of shape (transmission grinding, jammed window, broken window rolling thing). This is a relief.
In heartbreaking news almost everything that was in the car is gone. There are a few minute items which were left in the car (some shoes, spices, a tankard, a candle, some bbq sauce, one buffalo nickel, and two broken legs from my grandfather's table) but everything else is gone. Forever.
It is good to have closure and saddening to have all my possessions disappear into the ether, so my mood is a bit mixed. As per my gofundme page, I'll be donating the estimated value of what's left to the heifer project, which is roughly $150/$200 which means $200 to heifer once the gofundme funds are in my account.
To talk about what happened to the gofundme is that it's the most heartwarming thing that's ever happened to me. Not the funds themselves, but all the people coming out to lend a helping hand, to organize and help a fellow human being. So many good people have given their time, condolences, and effort. The friendship is massive. I really don't have words. It's unbelievable. The gofundme tripled it's donation goal to reach $9k, and as per my announcement on the page, this means that after fees from the site a little under $3k will be heading Jenn Blake's way for her gofundme to support her battle against brain cancer. Again: f#k cancer.
I will be using the spillover funds to purchase a new prescription for my glasses, as well as see a dentist. The original funds will go to replace all that I lost as well as enough equipment to rebuild my grandfather's table from memory, using the two old legs that are left.
Thank you all for your help, your support, and your kindness.

She's just adorable. Why? Why do they do this? Why do they want me to go full furry? I've gone full furry https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/viw/lombax-daki Yep. It's shameful self-promotion for a dakimakura, and an upcoming blanket. I'm past the point of no return. Why am I whistling?
I'll be at bronycon!

Hi folks.
It's official: the gofundme funds have hit my account. Holy crap it's never been that high. I've got a lot of personal effects that I can replace and a dental/optometrist appointment to make, but I thought I'd let everyone know the specifics, especially on the Jenn Blake donation amount:
Total raised by the gofundme: $9,131 (What. Just.... what.) There were also some direct paypal donations.
Total deposited in my bank account after gofundme fees and whatnot: $8,431 which is roughly 91.7% of the total.
True to my word I wished to donate 1/2 of any extra above the $3k initial goal to Jenn Blake's cancer fund, which takes some math
Loss of things, brightness of friends. Charity.
Oof. Where to start? To begin chronologically I had a great time at EFNW, for the most part. There were friends, food, and fans. After the con I packed up everything in my car, which was quite full due to having everything I own in it. I'm moving to the Seattle area, so as you can imagine the car was stuffed. I locked the car and went to bed for the night. When I came out in the morning my car, along with most of my worldly possessions, was gone. The gated parking, hotel security, the locks on the car, the stickshift, none of this prevented a thief from driving away with my life. I'm sure it looked like a great haul to them. I'd've liked to h

You should have the car fingerprinted. At least an attempt to find the perp.
