I need your help to raise funds for Crime Stoppers on June 24th. I'll be brought before a judge and sentenced. The question is - will you pay to bail me out or keep me in jail? All donations of $10.00 or more will receive a tax receipt. Don't want to pay online? Just send me your pledge via e-mail and I'll collect it from you in person.

Get me out of jail!

Keep me in jail!

Holy media, Batman - From my BLOG I've been very fortunate to have had lots of media attention lately. The Museum has been featured in two pieces on the butterscotch.com network. The first piece is an interview with me, and the second one has Matt Harris, Andy Walker and Sean Carruthers. Also, my new coffee table received some great coverage on both Destructoid and was also picked up on TheAwesomer.com so that's pretty awesome. If you are looking for a cool coffee table or custom piece, please talk to the artist directly, Erin McFadden from DameDecor. She's wonderful to work with. On Wednesday, June 24th I'll be brought before the judge to raise money for Crime Stoppers. Please consider donating to Crime Stoppers to keep me in or get me out! Thanks!
