hey guys, its brandon, aka oki.

unfortunetly, i need to start a
"help us get to hulla fundraiser"
anyone who doesnt know us who doesnt care, thats fine. this is meant to be towards the people who know me, and at least care to read why in the hell i'd be so horribly desperate enough to start a "fundraiser", no matter whether they want to help or not. honestly, i feel really dumb asking, but but read on if your curious as to what the heck is going on...

i have a bit of a situation that i need to explain first before i ask anything.

i organized myself, my wife katie (astar2luv), and 7 other people to go to hulla. no one of these 7 had credit cards, so i bought all of their tickets for them, and they paid me back. i had to put in extra to pay for the online charge, but i didnt have enough cash to cover having them all mailed. so theyre will-call. i dont have the tickets literally.

as time went on, we were putting aside cash per month to comfortably go to hulla. however, back a couple months ago, katie lost her job, and a month later, i lost my job. we tried selling vaacuums, but we used our hulla cash for gas for that month, and trying to sell kirby vaacuums didnt work. i was gone dawn till dusk, and i sold 3 kirbys in a month... katie only stayed a week, but in the other three weeks, looked for a job to no avail. kirby was a dead end, and we wasted all of our extra cash on it.

the problem is that we have no cash. i just got a job today at arby's, they pay every other week. so with when i hired in, i dont get paid till the 20th of july...

so, we have no cash. we have 7 people depending on us to be there to get their tickets. thats a lot of people to screw over, so im desperately asking if anyone whom knows me would like to donate a couple bucks to help us get there, go to last hulla, and ensure the other people going with us arent stuck in a crappy situation. email me at xxmrsoxx@hotmail.com (katie's email, my email gets too much junk mail to have everyone send emails there), to let me know if you would like to help us out. again, this is not intended for people who dont know us personally, but i'll accept donations from anyone. i can discuss with each person via email the best way to give us this donation.

i prefer if people wouldnt leave mean peanut gallery bits in this thread, but its probably inevitable. so, i'll just say a few things on how i feel so you dont have to say it yourselves. asking for such a selfish fundraiser honestly makes me feel like crap. it probably sounds ludicris to people who dont know me, or maybe even those who do. but besides not screwing the people we bought tickets for, hulla is one of those things that have such a spot in my heart for, i'd do anything to ensure i get to go to the last ever hulla. im a dj, and music is my soul, and uk hardcore has a huge spot in my heart. to miss the last ever hulla event just blows me over.

thank you all for reading this, and thanks to anyone, if anyone wants to help us out. ^_^

sincerely,
- brandon and katie okamoto (oki n star)

I had a friend a long time back who worked for Kirby. I didn't know Kirby was even still around.

Do you have a PayPal account?

i have, one set of them are helping us with food for the weekend (kandijunglegrrl and her husband), the rest just are broke enough to where they cant, and im also not going to force them. although if we were still short and didnt have enough, they'd be the ones screwing themselves if the didnt want to help but could, ya know? also, its two weeks before hulla, its a bit last minute. we had to pray on getting a job before now, and having at least some small first paycheck, and the money we did have is put aside for our necessary bills ya know. i know many people dont have cash, its its no prob. i mean, haha, even a dollar counts.

we have four people in our car, thanks leash!
busta i do have a paypal account. do you have to be signed up to recieve money? or no?

Busta

PM me your email address to you paypal then. I could probably spare $10 to help you out.

basic

If someone could buy me a cheeseburger right now, that'd be great, thanks.

~CrEaMy~

I can't help out financially, but in the case you own your car you should maybe try to get a title loan?

CareSieB

I've never met you personally, but I went through a lot of troubles trying to get everything for hulla set and a few people help me out, so I'm gonna put in some good karma the second I get my next pay, which should be next week and get some money to you through paypal. Expect an email from me a little later next week.

okidam

thank ya guys! to make it easier, my email through paypal is arxanon2@hotmail.com the only reason why i dont have people email me at my address is 'cause i get so much junk mail, i only let emails in from contacts, so anyone else goes right in to my junk mail box, and i often miss emails in there

itll be nice to get to meet ya all sometime this weekend, those i dont know whom are wishing to help out ^_^ cheers!

sincerely,
- brandon

Shit homie. I would love to help you out, but I still have to make money for ME to get there. I thought I was getting paid next week (in which this last week's hours would count), but I just got paid, and it was nothing. So I'm still lookin' out for some money. I think I can make it, but good luck man!

The best I can do is send you some good vibes, so I will. Good luck!
