O.K. heres the low down, I got 5 days till my oppurtunity to get to WEMF is over. I have no cash and 5 days to make $80 bucks so I can buy a 2 day pass, and a shuttle bus wrist band. Now silly and non-silly ideas are welcome, pretty much any ideas that you can shoot out, but this is going to hopefully be my first WEMF and unfortunantly my last party. Please hurry and take this seriously.

5 days to make 80 bucks
thats 16 dollars a day.
*street performing. what can you do? yo yo? juggle? sing? guitar? yarrr. get to it! even hack like youve never hacked before! put up a sign saying you need to make 16 bucks today. change locations daily, so no one catches on.
*washing car windows. while dangerous, it is hillarious. just watch those wipers, they hurt when yer finger gets caught.
*beg your parents. while humiliating, often effective. even if they only give you $16...you still decrease the amount you need.
* do you have a gas card? a la 'reality bites', use it at a gas station, pump gas for people at a self serve station, and get $$ for it while you pay the bill later.
* set up a paypal account, and post the email addy here. you never know. must be done tomorrow as it takes like 3 days to get the $$ in your acount.
* apply at a local store for their special store credit card/major credit card. use it.
* change jars in your house.
* couch diving, and car diving. scour your house for loose change.
* if you bought anything recently, bring it back to that store and try to get $$. if they wont give you money, say "well then ill just keep it". no harm done.
* bring food back to the grocery store. claim it is bad, or your parents bought the wrong kind, or something. B.S.. they often give back $$. i know. i used to work for one.
* take the pennies from the penny cup in stores everywhere. its for people who need a pennie. you just need 8000 of them. and they arent the STORE'S pennies...just run in, grab, and run out. be slick, oh so slick.
* walk dogs. go to houses where you know they have dogs, and offer to walk their dog for an hour for a dollar. walk a lot of dogs at once if they wont kill eachother.
* lemonade stand. XD
* push the buton in the elevator for people. expect a tip.
* pretend to be a bathroom monitor. expect a tip.
* hail taxis for people. expect a tip.
* 'slip on a grape' in the supermarket. tell them you will settle right there for 80 bucks. if they have cameras...RUN!!!
* pawn stuff.
* burn CDs and sell the originals to used CD places.
* if you are good at making people laugh, do it, and put 5 bucks in yer hat. bet people you can make them laugh to double the money in yer hat. put the money you win in yer pocket, and just keep doubling the same 5 bucks.
yeah. thats all i can think of right now. im sure i have more ideas. im like a muse. i have a ton of money makin ideas for other people, but for me? none.

* sometimes the place you work will advance you for an emergency. tell them if you dont get 80 bucks they are going to turn your water off.
* make a lot of cand=e. sell it at the gate of wemf for like a buck. oh those crazy cand=e kids!!!
* get enough for a ticket for the bus, and go walk the whole line of cars going in, holding your finger in the air for a miracle. ever been to a phish show? miracles do happen.
* call up newspapers and ask if they want an 'insiders view' of wemf. tell them you need the ticket, but they might be able to arrange it, along with an all access pass. granted, youd have to be alert and writing down stuff, but. itd be a way in.
* the worlds oldest profession. XD
* go to resturaunts, ask if you can wash dishes for the night for under the table pay. or clean their bathrooms. or something. how desperate are you?
* write freestyle poetry on the street. offer to write an original poem for 5 bucks. guaranteed original cause youll B.S. your way though it and damned if you can remember it when the next person takes you up on it!
* find an old lady in your apartment. offer to go groceryshopping for her. she will tip you. why? because old ladies like to tip people. trust me. you dont even have to ask.
* babysit.
* weed someones garden. no one likes to weed.
* steal. no. not really XD
* uhmmmmmm i think im out of ideas. i might get more later. i myself am trying to figure out how to make enough money to survive.

MaTcH

Applefaerie

p.s. im Amber, whats yer name?

Applefaerie

oh yeah! food is goooood
like
lot food after a phish show. veggie burritos. its so easy. tortila wrap. parkay squeeze. taco cheese mix. broccoli heads. one of those fun frying things you can plug in or run off propane, like a hot plate for camperst. squeeze parkay on there, lay down tortila. put cheese on it, and put broccoli on it. fry a little. fold. flip so it melts into that position. charge 3 bucks. smells GREAT tastes better. super cheap to make. kids support themselves all of phish tour just on what they make from the veggi burritos. and EVERYONE wants one.

Phorcleigh

Sell CD's you don't listen to anymore.
Sell anything you can.... haha!
Do chores around the house for money.
Beg your friends.
Dig upold dues that have not been collected.

I'm all out ideas......

Sell toilet paper at the gate cause some people will really like that offer as they might have forgoten to bring some or they just want to have some just incase there is NONE when they sit down and well we all know how deadly those toilets can be eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Oh I know an other one, Sell breath mints or breath spray or gum or something as ppls breath will become deadly after drinking and eating then straight to partying again. Yes the breath of a Hardcore party animal will start to smell. eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeee.
This I will be happy if you do cause some ppl that I meet have really bad breath. Sorry. LOL.

If you still don't have the cash by the time wemf comes try this.

Beg for a ride from someone at this board. It works, (if I go this year, although a big maybe I will definitely be offering rides cause I will have space for 2 to 4 people and I can't bear to think that someone may miss out cause they can't get there) I gave a ride to a dude last year, it was fun, I've been picking up hitchers for concerts for years now.

Once there, sell, sell, sell. Check the forcast! If it's gonna rain sell those disposable rain suits, sell water, water cost $5 a litre last year, get a tube of glow bracelets or necklaces, sell lighters, cheap flashlights, bug repellant, disposable cameras.

think of something that you would need in bob caygen but most people wouldn't think of or would forget.

I am giving out this info on one condition, don't gouge!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please be a plury vendor, just be fair and make enough money to have some fun, don't take advantage, Destiny Productions already is.

Later.

Wow thanks everyone good ideas. im gonna try something at the beaver gas station near my place see if they'll let me work there for a couple of days, maybe try the wash the dishes idea at restaurants or try bar backing. Borg that is a good idea, but i would still shell out 20 bucks to the person who gave me the ride for gas money and the appreciation. De Ja Vu discs inst a bad idea, i made the mistake of buying some weird al yankovich albums when i was 11. amber my name is matt. And spazz, i have been thinking alot lately and in doing so i have realized im pretty much not going no where in life, no school, no job (that will change soon hopefully) and no real life goal. So i figure I got to get everything straightened out, work to live and live to work as they say. So im gonna take a long long while off so i can get a job, go to an alternative film school like ive always wanted and become a special f/x monster movie make up dude like ive always wanted. And i know some of u r going to say "u can still do both, just spread it out." Truth is i can't, if i do both one thing is going to distract me from the other and the parties would most likely be the thing doing the distracting.
