"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

Take a year off? Then fund raiser the hell out of the Con?
This never would have happened under Max ;p
this happened cause the money guy who worked under Max rand off with the funds to vegas
Lesee…loans are very unlikely. Nobody is independently wealthy or knows someone with enough income to support the con.
Crowdfunding seems a possible answer. A kickstarter is a definite possibility. The group is quirky and interesting enough that they could provide continuing content to make a Pateron conceivably work (and get feedback from a limited selection of Bork Con fans as a guide for the next con). I don’t know how many people would actually support the con in either venue, but there wouldn’t be much harm in hanging out the shingle. There’s a lot of publicity they’d have to do to have any real chance of success however.
Terrence could present a huge issue to crowdfunding. He could surface with a lot of negative stories about his treatment.
On the other hand, people who have met Terrance might help out just to spite him.
Do we know Terrence is not rich, I could see him buying the con out of spite being the next big story.
