We’re slowly creeping toward the home stretch of my fundraiser! I know that many of you probably have “giving fatigue”, but we’re now over halfway there and less than $5000 from the goal, so I figured it was time to both remind and update y’all. First of all, a HUGE thank you to everyone who has already donated; if you contributed at the $60 level or more, you should’ve received your DVD today at the latest (I shipped them on Wednesday and Thursday, and I sent them Priority Mail which is supposed to be 2 to 3 days). If you have received neither disc nor an email from me, please mail me and let me know so we can straighten it out! I’m autographing the covers, but since the color scheme is dark I pulled the cover sheet out & signed them on the white inside. If I owe you a dinner or coffee date and you’re in the DC area, I’m going to be there very soon; I’m screening The War on Whores at the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit, 6 pm on August 16th at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, so even if you aren’t at the conference itself we can make plans to meet outside of that Friday evening time frame. And if August doesn’t work, I have more good news: I’ll be back in Washington for a screening event at the offices of Reason Magazine on September 26th! I don’t have the details for that yet, but watch my (usually-Tuesday but occasionally Monday or Thursday) diary columns for details. In other news, tomorrow I’ll be working on editing my video course on the politics of sex work for Thaddeus Russell’s Renegade University; I’ll keep you posted when that’s available. But for right now, please donate to help if you can, and if you’d like to make a large donation in person let me know and that can probably be arranged as well.
