Flowers for Al and Don
So, I don't often pull headlines right off of BoingBoing, but I want to help get the word out about this one. Earlier today, someone posted with the idea of sending flowers to one of the random couples waiting to express their right to matrimony on the steps of city hall in San Francisco.
As anyone who has a significant other knows, it's a bit cost prohibitive to send flowers at all, let alone to be delivered to a specific place at a specific time.
With that in mind, Darren has orgainized a "bulk buying" of flowers, and is raising money through paypal to get us all the most flower buying bang for the buck that we can get. He's been vouched for and is well known in the blogosphere, so you can be pretty certain it's not a scam.
I threw in a bit of money, in part because I want one of these couples to know that some random person out there cares, but also in part because I want the media to know that lots of random people out there care.
So I issue this challenge. I've donated $25. If you don't have the funds, throw in $1, if you've got the cash, match my $25. If you've got lots of gusto, donate more and let me know and I'll match the difference*.
Donate what you can, or maybe up the ante?Read on for my matching fine print
