It's Only Money!

A guy pays for $2M for 400-500 of his friends to see the Rolling Stones play private party in small bar outside of San Diego, CA.

At least they got a concert for the money. I once read about a guy who paid Aerosmith $2m to play 1 song at his daughters birthday party. I believe it was "I don't want to miss a thing" from the movie Armageddon.

Got it, but why would you want to send me $25?

Did you see me ask for it somewhere?

No I didn't at all I wasn't trying to send it to you. Just raising the required funds.

This wasn't the advice I was going to give that other guy but it will work as well to raise 10k a month.

In your capacity of moderator you could make a sticky asking 400 members to send you $25/ea. in return for you to tell them how to make 10k.

After receiving 400 x $25 = 10k you just tell them to place their own thread asking for the same.

Expect to see your fundraisng thread soon.

That would have been a cool show to attend. I bet the guy picked up the bar bill as well.
