I know how bad it sucks to be a Euro Al-Gal (British. sigh.) and I love the idea of seeing your sign on tour!

Good luck gals!!

Thank you Laurie!!

If I could make a suggestion for your pledge drive--since not everyone is going to have the chance to go to a concert and everyone who goes to a concert won't have a chance to meet Al, how about having three levels of pledges? The first would be pics of people holding your placard while wearing some sort of Al-related gear(t-shirt, hoodie, hat, etc.) the second would be pics of people with the placard at a concert, the third would be pics of people holding the placard while meeting Al. Have the pledge amount tiered ie "x" amount for every pic of someone holding the placard but they're not at a concert, then a slightly higher pledge amount for every pic of someone holding the placard at a concert, then the highest amount for pics with Al. That way, the people who can't make it to a concert can participate if they want to and it'll raise more money for the school.

I'm waiting until I see what Aron does before I print it out.

Did you use posterboard or something? Just wondering.

Yeah, but it's too far.

Oh well...guess I was just being greedy

Bummer!

awwwwww, don't listen to them!!

This is a fantastic idea, and I think even Al will love it! Don't be discouraged by a bunch of haters! I'd love to see this take off, for Euro Gals everywhere (well, mostly in Europe

)

I'll gladly hold the placard at my prom, while im in the YP outfit if you want.

they said it was unsuitable as a fundraising idea because they said it could be open to fraud.. eg Photoshopping and faked pictures. They also weren't keen on any aspect of the idea and didnt want to associate with it:(

I feel like an idiot
