Hair Dyeing Fundraiser
The convention organizers want to extend our gratitude to all of our amazingly generous Convention Sponsors who helped us out of serious debt. Thank you to everyone who registered for the convention, purchased extra Bally Bucks or apparel, participated in the hair dyeing fundraiser, or donated any amount.
Here’s the final result of our hair dyeing, based on the percentage meter before the convention:
At 50% DiscoveryLover dyed her hair the current winning color: BLUE At 55% k-h-j dyed his hair the current winning color: PURPLE At 60% crrookie dyed her hair the current winning color: PURPLE At 65% ResQgeek dyed his hair the current winning color: PURPLE At 70% KateKintail dyed her hair the current winning color: PURPLE At 75% Skyring dyed his hair the current winning color: BLUE At 80% melydia dyed her hair the current winning color: PINK At the convention Bruce dyed his hair the current winning color: PINK |
You can still donate on the How to Help page.
I’ve put out the word to my colleagues at my office, and have already heard at least one person promising a donation. I expect that my co-workers are going to love a chance to make me look silly!
I liked the tweet this morning: Cast your vote http://bit.ly/eDbJ5Y. We want to get to FIND skyring’s hair & dye it purple! ;-P

I would vote pink for Pete but…
Pete said no more TimTams so…
I vote…
Fuchsia for Pete!
If he still has a problem with that then I gusses Lime Green is better nothing.

Hey, listen here! This ain’t no dolly you’re dyeing! This is the beloved hair of a middle aged grumbleman who has individually named each thinning strand. Pink, green, fuschia – or Heaven forbid, a combination – this is my worst nightmare! My grace and dignity is important to me, and if I am tied down and my hair forcibly coloured, as seems increasingly likely from the numbers above, there will be NO SMILES. I shall grump and scowl my way through the convention. My hair may be festive, but that’s it.
Lime Green! *shakes head sadly*
PurplyPup, we have tim tams in New Zealand….I’m happy to be your new supplier ;)
Very funny Pete
Thanks Discoverylover I think I will take you up on the offer if Pete stops my Tim Tams.
So it seems that k-j-h and I will both have purple hair at the convention. I’m thinking that a nice shade of lavender would look nice (and clash oh so well with the red shirt). You’ll have to attend the convention (or be content with pictures) and you won’t know until April 15th exactly how I will look!
PurplyPup no problem at all!!

The Washington Capitals will be in the playoffs by then, so I could really “Rock the Red” with red hair, eh? :o)

funds are tightm but I am mailing a small donation and I support PINK FOR KATE!
3% more for Pink hair color on some one
With the meter a few points shy of 75%, looks like I’m off the hook. A huge relief for me. Sorry that the organisers are going to be well out of pocket, but I can keep my hair its natural colour, and get to chuckle at the handful of goofballs with weird hair. Perfect outcome!

out of
75%
so Pete can have colored hair!
colored hair!

Nice PurplyPup!!
How about a haiku?
Pink haired Pete will make
Discoverylover smile
More than usual.
We’re almost at 75% and currently just $3 separates the colors blue & purple. But pink is rapidly gaining ground. Whatever color is in the lead when we hit 75% will be Skyring’s color! It could be anything.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/19486062@N00/5573369164/ for the latest picture, although Pete’s blue hair is awfully hard to see!!
Oh, I’m so bummed we didn’t get pink for Pete!
Poo.
There’s still time to donate to make Pete’s SECOND color pink!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
5% more for Melydia to get a hair color
why not try for any other color than Purple and Blue!
Pink is getting close
5 days to get .61%
so Melydia can have PINK hair
ops I ment 3.61%
I thought deadline was April 7? I tried to make another donation as I hate to see Melydia left out of the fun! Not to mention I do like to see Bruce in pink hair.
The April 7 deadline for choosing hair colors has passed, but melydia is still hoping she’ll join us with colored hair for the convention. We’re making an exception to the rule and if we get to 80% by Wednesday, April 13, melydia will dye her hair the winning color (Let’s go Pink!)
The current total is almost 79%. So please get your friends/family/very generous strangers to donate today so melydia won’t feel left out and so the convention planning team won’t be stuck with a huge bill from the hotel.
