Something to get off my chest

This has been bothering me for a few days. It probably shouldn't, but well...I guess not everything makes sense.

A request went out a while back to donate money to an artist popular with fandom to help him put out a new album. He quickly received over double what he'd originally asked for...but continued asking for more. Then, as a thank you, he offered to send out tshirts with a custom design to those who'd helped him--but not everyone, only those who contributed over a certain amount, so go ahead and up your donation now! 

Seriously? With more than double what he'd asked for he couldn't send out a tshirt to everyone? It's not the lack of a tshirt in my future that actually bothers me so much as the greed that it represents. I find myself in the position of regretting my donation, which doesn't happen often and isn't a feeling I much care for. The whole thing just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Obviously things can change, but I don't believe I'm going to fall for this one again.

I'll be there for sure. Just booked my flight and now I can't wait.

I got a super good deal on my flight/hotel this time around, which let me afford tix for Jared and Jensen's private QnAs--I'm super excited :) Plus the guest list is great this time around, can't wait to meet everyone!

I'm so horribly broke this year already that I couldn't afford Jensen's Q&A. I got outbid. Hope you have awesome fun at them though.
