Help Aki Get to ProgPower VI!

[AMBR]

I couldn't resist this appeal. Every Finn I met when I was there was very kind and generous to me, so I guess I can give a little back. Let us know how the fund is doing and how much more he needs to go. You should organize a "Meet Aki" party for donors.

 

[J-Man]

Donation made!!! Aki deserves it he is a great guy. See ya there Aki.

Holy crap, not even 24 hours since the fund was first put up and we've got $480 out of $600! Thank you to everyone who've contributed so far, you're all great!

This already makes.. me.. speechless. It's past 4.30am here and I've been feeling too happy and excited all day because of this (all of you nicest people). So there's no way I could get sleep but for once it's because of a really positive thing

Thank you SO much ColdieColdie, Glenn "the Man", both Johns, Colleen, Ann Marie, Jaime + Paul&Curu again (and of course the ones donating outside the forum too!) I'm almost already feeling the most excellent taste of Newcastle at Earthlink Live in my mouth heheh

A communist, that's who, and we don't want any dirty commies at ProgPower.

You do know America's greed is why Communism gets a bad name =(

 

[Curufin]

I think Communism gets a bad name because it's retarded. Socialism is where it's at . Anywho, I don't want to turn this into a debate or anything, but you know that paragraph was (at least a little) funny.

 

[Pellaz]

Actually, 'pure' communism would be really cool in a perfect world where everyone pitched in and was satisfied with their 'fair' share....but it never works out, because it's human nature to strive for more.

(ahem)

$600, BTW, is not a bad price for a direct Helsinki-Atlanta flight. --Especially this summer, when people are actually daring to fly again, damnit.

/me knocks on whatever wood that Hurricanes stay AWAY from Atlanta this year

 

[Curufin]

We've now got $520 out of $600! We're almost there!

 

[booB]

I'll help, but only if Aki doesn't bring the Finnish army with him to invade us...

 

[KingsGene]

Contribution made! Looking forward to tipping one with Aki...

 

[Curufin]

I'm heading off to work now, and I'll update the site when I get back, but we've now got $550 out of $600! Only $50 to go; that's amazing!

 

[Dustin]

I have made a donation to my metal brother Aki... I hope to tip a beer with you this year my freind!!!

We're almost there now! I think it's safe to say that Aki will be coming to ProgPower this year!

I'll update the site and post here when we reach the $600! How exciting!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Just sent a donation. As per what the beer glass said, this oughtta do it.
PP wouldn't be the same without my favorite Swede! ; )

Can't wait to see you in Sept. Dude!

The dude brought us Nightwish cd's a few years back when he came over to PP III. Payback's a bitch.

See you in September, man!

Fucking awesome! We've now met our goal and then some! $640 with a goal of $600 is absolutely amazing! I'm completely taken aback by the generousity of you all and the speed at which our goal was attained.

I'll update the site in a bit!

Thanks again to everyone who contributed!

 

[AngraRULES]

AKI should use the extra 40 bucks to pay booze to all of the ones in the forum, woo hoo! LOL

Obviously I'm just kidding... With that money he can buy some cds as well at the festival!

 

[13ShadesofGray]

And people think that fans of Metal are evil. Geezuz.

Y'all Kick ASS!

 

[Curufin]

I've now updated the page to reflect the new donation level (along with a sweet new graphic ).

P.S. You guys all kick ass!
