Another bracelet giveaway for Haven!

[Daghain]

Someone asked me if I was going to do another one of these, and I thought, "why the hell not?" so here goes!

I have 10 each, red and black bracelets, as pictured below:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/542/medium/Photo_2x.jpg

Each one is available for a $10 donation to the Haven Foundation.

THE RULES:

You must have at least 5 posts.

You must not already have a bracelet (if you have a black one, you can get a red one, but not another black one, and vice versa - make sense?)

Matt will confirm your donation before I ship out the bracelet. (And since I haven't told him yet, thanks Matt!)

I will pay shipping, domestic or international. This is my good deed for the year, so expect the next 11 months to be filled with anarchy and mayhem. :lol:

You MUST post in this thread - PMs will not be accepted.

Oh, and FYI, these are the LAST 10 RED bracelets I have - after they're gone, that's it!

Ready...set....GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alinda]

:clap: well done Daggers! If I didnt already have them both.....but I would
highly encourage any one who doesnt have one to donate, not only for the
honor of helping Haven Foundation, and this sites donation amount , but they really are cool,
and great fun, thanks for doing it again!:couple:

[Daghain]

:thumbsup:

Thanks alinda! :couple:

[alinda]

:huglove:My pleasure Dags, I wish we could pin this to the page so it gets all the attention it can! (conspires to keep posting so it does;) )

[Letti]

I wear the black one quite often so go people go. :)

[sleeplessdwarf]

I would like to get one so if there is still one left when I am able to donate count me in. I have to allow a few things to clear through the bank before I use my paypal. At the very least I will help you keep the thread bumped with this post. :P

[Daghain]

Black or red?

[sleeplessdwarf]

I will take black if I squeeze the donation in on time. It's not safe for me to drive atm or I would just go and swap some cash around. (little small town bank does not have internet banking, go figure.)

[Daghain]

I'll hang onto a black one for you for a bit. :D

[alinda]

One down, :wtf:sold to the sleeplessdwarf!:wtf:

[mia/susannah]

Thanks, I have both but I most definately encourage everyone to give to the Haven Foundation

[educatedlady]

I just got paid so I'm in for a black one!! I love that these bracelets fit in with my black/red obsession.

[Brice]

I have both already. :D They do not come off.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Model them for me Brice. I would like to see them on man arms please. :P

[Brice]

:lol: I have no available camera at the moment.

[Daghain]

Okay, so that leaves 8 black, and 10 red. :D

[sleeplessdwarf]

Ok, all done. This was just for the bracelet Matt. I still have that change coming as soon as I exchange it. :P

[Matt]

That's confirmed. Thanks sleepless :couple:

[Daghain]

Okay, so sleepless and educated lady are confirmed. Yay!

Sleepless, PM me your address so I can get that out to you.

That leaves 8 black and 10 red, people!

[alinda]

*bump* Keeping it up front as alluded to in a previous post!:wtf:

[Daghain]

:clap: :lol:

[alinda]

Last post on the front page ...that wont do at all!! *bump*:thumbsup:

[Chap]

oh NOW you have black ones. damn it! :D

[Daghain]

:D

[willie3]

Miss Dags
Could I get a black one?
Thank you
:rock:

[Daghain]

Sure thing!

That's 7 black, 10 red left!

[Woofer]

I would love a black bracelet. :drool: Wolves look even more awesome with black and silver accessories.

ETA: If that is okay, I will make a donation on Thursday. We were out at animal shelters today (Itty Bitty searching and making donations). One of the shelters was having a kitten and puppy shower. Very cool. Breaks my heart, though, because I'd bring all the woofies and kittehs home if I had the $$$. Oh, ahem. We now return to you the topic.

[Matt]

And remember, it's not only a bracelet but also an entry into our giveaway

That little $10.00 bucks could potentially be a remarqued edition of LSoE!! :panic:

Or even...dare I say...the Grand Prize!! :rock:

[Daghain]

I'll hang on to one for you, Woofer.

That's 6 black, 10 red left!

[Woofer]

Cool! TYVM!

[Daghain]

*BUMP*

[Woofer]

PayPal activated! Sorry that I am a day late. I was in a sudden and unexpected three day create-a-draft-of-a-tech-manual-for-this-small-item meeting for the last three days. Nothing like disassembling and reassembling something as fast as you can document it. {insert lightspeed smilie here}

[Matt]

Woofer is confirmed :couple:

[Daghain]

Sweet! PM me your addy, Woofer, and I'll get that out to you!

[Woofer]

:excited: :grouphug: Thanks guys! :excited: I just glad that I can actually do a bit more this year. Last year was not very good for the Woofer household. :excited:

[Daghain]

BUMP!

6 black, 10 red left! If you're going to give to Haven, why not pick up a bracelet while you're at it? :D

[sleeplessdwarf]

Just thought I'd model it for the dudes.

[Daghain]

Nice! :clap:

[Unfound One]

Dags - I'm diggin' the Claddagh ring you're rockin' in that second pic.
Very nice. :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

Thanks! I bought it in Galway about 6 years ago. :D

[Daghain]

Okay, in the interest of raising some more cash, I'm going to alter the rules a bit. If you already have a bracelet, you can now buy another one anyway.

I have 6 black and 10 red left, which represents a potential $160 for Haven (and, you get a giveaway entry for each one purchased). Any takers?

[Brice]

You know there's at least one. :D I'd like a black one please.

[Daghain]

You got it! I'll hang on to one for you!

That's 5 black, 10 red left!

[Matt]

I can send Brice's black one in the box that's going out if that is easy Daggers.

[Daghain]

That would be awesome Matt - thanks!

[educatedlady]

Woot! I got mine and I haven't taken it off since I opened the envelope. :)

Check it!

[Daghain]

SWEET!

[Daghain]

BUMPITY BUMPTIY BUMP BUMP BUMP!

[The Lady of Shadows]

much as i'd love to buy some bracelets, i'm bidding in dtbay and must wait to see what happens there. but if swoopy mcswooperson shows his face, then i might buy out your stock (and have him killed of course :evil: ).

[Woofer]

Wow! My black bracelet arrived yesterday - just in time for our anniversary. I was overjoyed!

Thanks for hosting the fundraiser, Matt.
Thanks for making the bracelets and giving them away, Daggers.

[Daghain]

You're welcome! :D

Still have 4 black, 9 red!

[Lily-sai]

[Matt]

[Lily-sai]

Thankee-sai so much, Matt! Will sort this out as soon as I can. :)

[Daghain]

I'll hang on to one of each for you, Lily.

That leaves 3 black, 8 red!

[Daghain]

BUMP!!!

[alinda]

Funny I came to bump it too:wtf:

[sleeplessdwarf]

Have not removed mine yet. The wife keeps asking to sport it but I refuse. Maybe I'll throw in another donation and get her a red one. Couldn't hurt to have my name in the giveaway pot again. :P

[Matt]

That would be great if you can sleepless. :rock:

[sleeplessdwarf]

Done Deal Matt. The wife would like a red one. :P Thx guys.

[Matt]

:rock:

Thanks so much, donation bar updated.

[Daghain]

Awesome! Sleepless, can you PM me your addy again? I don't think I still have it.

Okay, that's 3 black, 7 red! Come on, people, that's 100 bucks for the Haven Foundation (yes, I AM trying to guilt you)! :lol:

[Daghain]

BUMP!!!

[alinda]

itty bump!:wtf:

[Brice]

*bump*

[alinda]

bump:wtf:

[Brice]

I pinned this so we wouldn't need to keep bumping it. :D

[Daghain]

Excellent!

[sleeplessdwarf]

I'll bump it with just an update anyway. :P The wife was begging me to take off my black one and let her wear it for the day. I refused, but I also knew the red one was in the mail. She kept making statements like "your so stingy". She was joking ofc she just wanted to wear it because it was mine. Finally I asked her to check the mail and see if my latest book was there. She came back in with her sad face and said there was no book, but I did have something so maybe I received the DJ I am expecting. I asked her to open it for me as I was too sad my book did not come. Her look was precious. She knows I would not wear red so she knew it was all hers. This just might be the last thing needed to convince her to start the series. :evil:

[alinda]

That's so touching ;)

Thanks Brice for pining the thread, I didnt mind all the bumping but
they really should sell out before the big day I think ( and hope) :D

[Matt]

That is wonderful! :lol:

What a cute story and great to read first thing in the morning

[Daghain]

That was awesome, sleepless. Good luck on converting the wife!

DBF is about to start book 7, and I really had nothing to do with it. :innocent:

[alinda]

:grouphug:Next comes membership mayhap?:wtf:

[Daghain]

DBF? Never. He's so-so on the books; he only started the series because he was trapped in the airport with no book and bought the Revised Gunslinger in the airport bookstore. :lol:

[Josieweirdo]

DBF? Never. He's so-so on the books; he only started the series because he was trapped in the airport with no book and bought the Revised Gunslinger in the airport bookstore. :lol:

Well, at least he's made the decision to read the books - even if the pressure of sitting at an airport with no book is one we know all too well, so let's just agree to ignore the fact that any book at all usually makes the situation much better and heals any previous trauma of being in such a terrible situation :P

I'd like to buy a red bracelet (I shouldn't hope that the last 7 have been bought since the last post regarding their quantity). I must admit I'm not all too sure on the procedure however. If I'm to send in money - if using PayPal - to havenfunds@thedarktower.org, what should I add in the 'note'/'extra message to the receiver'-field? I suppose my username on the forum and that it's for 1 red bracelet would be a given, but is there anything else? And should I send you, Daghain, a message with my address right after I've sent in money for the bracelet or am I to wait until you've been informed that I have, as an user on the forum, sent money to the PayPal account?

[Daghain]

Go ahead and use the PayPal info above. Matt will verify your donation was received in this thread. You don't need to add a note if you don't want to.

PM me your address and I'll get it out to you!

ETA: That's 3 black, 6 red left!

Lily, did you still want one of each?

[Matt]

I'm so glad you are going for a bracelet Josie (even though they aren't shiny) and I really hope you win a prize in the giveaway.

Edit:

Donation received via Paypal, thanks again.

[Daghain]

Awesome! As soon as I get your address, Josie, I'll send it out!

[Matt]

And I made sure the system will let her PM. :thumbsup:

[Josieweirdo]

Alright, thanks for the quick reply :) I've sent off the money trough PayPal and sent off the message to you with my address, seems like Matt's also confirmed my payment, so we're almost good to go.

Thanks for both the well wishes and for allowing me to pm. You're also welcome :) The bracelets are not shiny in that sense, no, but they're still nifty.

[Daghain]

Yep, I'll get it out tomorrow. Thanks!

[Matt]

Your welcome. Just as an FYI, people with under 5 posts can't PM because of SPAM...I knew you had just gone over and the computer "promotes" you out of that group automatically.

But it sometimes takes a few minutes so I wanted to make sure it was done.

Not that you especially couldn't PM, it's just a board thing.

[Lily-sai]

Lily, did you still want one of each?

I do! I transferred money to my PayPal account via my bank last week, but the money hasn't appeared into my account yet. ack ack. It says it will take 1-3 days, but I've already lost my patience and e-mailed them, asking what's keeping them. :p Graah. Will keep you posted!

[Josieweirdo]

Ah, in that case I appreciate that you checked it just so I wouldn't be stuck and unable to send my address.

No problem Lily, I can hang onto them for you. :D

[Lily-sai]

Thanks, dear!! :) :couple:

[Daghain]

No problem! :couple:

[Lily-sai]

Now I'm even more hyped if that's possible. My account has been finally topped up and the money sent. Waiting for Matt's confirmation, and then I can hope those awesome bracelets are awaiting for me when I return from my long trip. :) Here, here, shiny!! (Magpies, unite!)

[Daghain]

Excellent!

[Matt]

Confirmation is made, thanks Lily-sai...your donation was all gravy this morning. :rock:

[Daghain]

Awesome! PM me your address Lily, and I'll get those out to you!

I also see we are over our goal! AWESOME!

[Chap]

:rock: at reaching the goal. Good job!

also, are there any black ones left? my red one is about to set out on a little journey, so I need a replacement :ninja:

[Daghain]

I have 3 black and 6 red left. :D

[Chap]

I'll take one black then :D
*heads off to donate*


edit: Done :)

[Daghain]

All righty! PM me your address and I'll get it out tomorrow!

That's 2 black, 6 red left people!

[Matt]

Thanks Chap--donation received, bar updated. :rock:

It's all so much very good gravy from here. :drool:

[Daghain]

Well, we could make $80 more if some people would buy some bracelets. *taps foot* :lol:

You'd think by now someone would buy them just to shut me up. :lol:

[candy]

:rock:i got my bracelets -i got my bracelets - i got my bracelets:rock:

:rock:oooo hooooo - just in time for the weekend:rock:

:rock:and damn fine they are too thankyouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:rock::rock:

[Daghain]

Glad you like them!

[The Lady of Shadows]

Well, we could make $80 more if some people would buy some bracelets. *taps foot* :lol:

You'd think by now someone would buy them just to shut me up. :lol:

we just like listening to you bitch. :wtf: :couple:

[Daghain]

Ah, so THAT'S it. :lol:

[Daghain]

19 days left! Anyone want a bracelet? I have 2 black and 6 red!

[Josieweirdo]

They're still not shiny in the supersparklymetallicshiny way (that would perhaps also be a bit scary), but nifty still counts for a great deal. I already own the red one (which I received not that long ago in the mail), so I'd like to buy the only other bracelet I can buy by now; the black one :) I've sent out the money to the PayPal-account and since I'm not sure if you keep the address-pm's or not, I'll send my address to you again.

[Matt]

You are confirmed, thanks again Josie :couple:

I'll update the bar first thing in the morning.

[Daghain]

Excellent! I'll get that out Monday, Josie!

That's one black, six red left!

[candy]

come on people!!!!!!! you can have a piece of the dark tower on your arm, and its all for a good cause.

mine are really pretty, and i would take a photo but my camera broken, which i am pissed about cause i wanted to show you all

[Daghain]

:thumbsup:

That's some endorsement right there!

[Daghain]

BUMP!

[Gris]

Payment sent for the last black one.

[Daghain]

Sweet! PM me your address and I'll send it out as soon as Matt confirms. Thanks!

Six red ones left!

[Matt]

Good to go!! Thanks Gris :couple:

[Daghain]

Sending it out tomorrow, Gris! Enjoy!

[Daghain]

BUMP!

Only a few days left! I have six red bracelets that need new homes!
