to others just coming into this comment thread and it doesnt seem all here, its not.. I removed the comments made by KrIsTiNa or how ever she types it.. she was complaining that I dont support the OSgrid by having an event during there event.. I pay my tiers which I feel supports the grid, and not have to pay out of my low income pension

I don't really get the hostile judgement of the comment against this event. It seemed to go over the top. Just my 2 cents ...

In past years there were other events within Osgrid that though not part of the official ceremonies, made an announcement to those in attendance of how to donate to the grid if anyone was inclined to. Easy peasy, no drama required.

Kristina.. Suzan is right.. I have been doing events this one on friday for 10 months and events thursdays and sundays for almost 3 years.. and the only way to keep people coming to your club is to show up for your events.. I have tracked yours and you dont stay at your events.. and IM sure the people who come to my events come because they like the entertainment.. and 90% of my traffic is Hypergridders.. who could care less about donating to the OSGrid.. so I added an option

The point *I* seem to be missing is HOW, exactly, does an event conflict with and/or harm OSGrid's fundraiser?

For once, I agree with Suzan. I like going to parties at Osgrid......... but Osgrid is not the hub of the virtual world.
Esse is a fabulous DJane....... better than some.
