Desperation! Help Me Blog the Inauguration!

Well, this is a really uncomfortable and odd thing for me to do out here. I've never done it before and I'm a bit hesitant to do it now, but I'm in desperate straights on this and was encouraged by a friend to try it out, and so, I'm asking you, my readers for some help!!!

Here the exchange I'm proposing...

Help me get to the inauguration, and I'll blog it for you out here!

I have been generously given two tickets for the inauguration ceremony of Barack Obama next week. One problem still keeps me from getting there... I need some cash to go!

I've figured out that between gas and food, I'm going to need somewhere around $1,000 to 1,500 to make the trip work.

Can you help me out even with a small donation to Crawford's Take to get me there (and feed me), so you can read my take on the inauguration AS IT HAPPENS?

If so, I ask you to click the Donate link to your right and make a donation of any amount. $5, $10, $50, $100 or whatever you can give to get me there!

HELP ME GET TO DC and in return I'll BLOG THE INAUGURATION!!!
