Unfortunately the medical system for me here in NC has collapsed and I probably can not travel... stay tuned ... maybe refunds ... ?

This is a fundraiser to help me attend the annual SIGGRAPH conference, this year in Los Angeles. The move to NC completely exterminated my savings making something like this necessary.

As always, I need to figure out how to make a living. TBD

The original fundraising text:

Come help Michael celebrate his awesome ability to spend 2 years of savings in → one ← move to North Carolina. Now, stranded beyond his means in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He needs help from his fairy godmother and all his friends to fly to Los Angeles for a 7 day trip including the conference pass for the poor and unemployed, real time live, transportation, and meals.

“My fellow pioneers! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!”

Budget (to be updated)

$700 round trip fair

$700 conference pass (unemployed)

$50 real time live

$350 7 days and night of meals

$350 7 trips to/from downtown

$150 round trip to RDU

For a total of a mere $2,250.
