The Money Thing

Thanks to those who made it to last night's Portland Podcasting meetup. I've been so slammed with life and work lately that it was great to set some time aside and talk about podcasting, technology, music etc.

For the sake of being accountable to those who donated last month and this month, I wanted to publish how much I took in and where that goes. First, just to clarify, we use Meetup.com to manage and plan our meetings and Meetup.com charges $9 a month. So I decided to ask the members into donating whatever they can to cover the charge, and you guys have done amazing! Remember, our plans are to remove ourselves from Meetup.com; Josh has done a great job putting the disparte pieces together, and we'll be proud to call what he's been working on our new "home", so to speak. Here's the money breakdown:

August
Donations = $13
Meetup.com = ($9)
Total = $4

September
Donations: $12
Meetup.com = ($9)
Total = $3

That's $7 extra. Yippeee! The extra money will be used for October's Meetup.com charge.
