I've received confirmation for a venue:
Date: 2009/11/21
Time: reservation is for 9:30am-6:30pm
Location: Bethesda-Chevy Chase HS
4301 East-West Highway
Bethesda, MD 20814
(about 0.4 miles from the Bethesda Metrorail Station on the red line)
Spaces: Three classrooms and the cafeteria
Note: the reservation is exacting; the heat won't be on until the
start time and we must be completely cleaned up and gone by the end.
I'd hope to start setup at 10am, opening comms at 10:40am, and have
closing comms at 5:40pm.

Payment in full ($757.00) for the space is due on Monday 2009/9/28, or
the reservation may be canceled. Independent of the possible
cancellation fro non-payment, I have until 2009/10/3 to cancel while
only paying a $25 fee (after that 25% is owed, with higher percentages
the closer the date is).

I've sent an e-mail to Paul, in the hope that the $850 he's holding
might be tapped, but as of right now I only have $225 :(

So, if you'd like KFA DC to happen, please donate:

That's fantastic news, Nikolas!

I'll be certain to help you get the word out about raising funds ASAP.
Now is the time for anyone interested in seeing a KinkForAll
Washington DC happen to start the blog, poster, email forward word-of-
mouth engine to help

Thanks Nikolas—you're a rockstar. :)

Nikolas,

I'm (already—yay!) receiving questions about the details of KFADC's
financial needs. It'd be fantastic to have a link to send to people to
show them the details when I answer these questions. It's great to
have a spreadsheet showing KFADC funding sources,[0] so do you think
you can add a new sheet to that Google Spreadsheet showing expenses,
like the way we showed it for KinkForAll New York City?[1]

Thanks!

Done and done. The 'Venue Cost' sheet presents the calculation I
posted before (http://bit.ly/njZ4z ). The 'Expenses' sheet is intended
to list other expenses (e.g. materials for the schedule board). The
'Expenses' sheet is linked to the funds to calculate our current
balance.

As of this moment, we have a $432 deficit; if the funds from British
Lucky Paul come through, we'll have a $418 surplus.

Cheers,
-Nikolas

Er, I meant to mention that I've sent an e-mail to the scheduler
inquiring about the discrepancy between my calculation.

Cool. Only one more question (I hope :). For some reason, Google asked
me to log into my Google Account to see the spreadsheet. That was
weird. But then I noticed that the spreadsheet isn't actually
published, since the spreadsheet editor launches. Do you think it
would be possible to publish the spreadsheet so that it's just served
as raw HTML and doesn't require people to log in? I don't want to send
a link to someone without a Google account when they ask me about
donating and then have them be presented with a sign in box. :(

You can publish Google Spreadsheets by clicking the "Share" button on
the top-right of the spreadsheet, and then selecting "Publish as a web
page".

Thanks! Here's hoping we get a surplus so we can have KFADC2
sometime. :)

Cheers,

Argh. I'm still learning about Google Docs. Here's the link:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tJOK0jm5gbcSUWXkH2ziV7A&output=html

I set it to automatically update as I make changes, and pointed the
wiki's links there.

Hi Guys,

Sorry it took me a while to spot this thread. I don't think it is
going to be possible to meet up tomorrow but I do have the money.
$100 was a PayPal donation from Daniel I think and the rest was in
cash. It was in my sock drawer before my move to Bethesda so it may
take a bit of digging as most of my stuff is still in boxes. I'll add
it to my to do list for the weekend.

Cheers, Paul.
