It's OK Chris, Joe and a few others have already offered up some $$ to help
with the cause.
Here's what I'd like to do....
If folks would like to chip in a few dollars to the cause, the easiest way is
via PayPal. You can send money to:
eats@weirdstuffwemake.com
Please make sure to say it's for the AW molds.
I don't have a "premier" account, so I can't accept credit card payments.
If you would like to send funds via snail mail, please email me and I will
send you my address.
The money will be used to cover my out of pocket expenses which will
include truck rental, gas, and probably lunch and a couple beers for
a helper to load and unload.
If there's money left over then I will set it aside until we can decide who
gets the molds next. Once it's decided where the molds are going, then
I will either use that money towards shipping to the new location and/or
turn it over to the new "owner" to be used for restoration of the molds.
I've had a couple list members who seem very interested in having
them and seem sincere about trying to put them to use again.
I've also been contacted by Ralph with Glass Action, and Ralph has
expressed an interest in them.

I really don't want to be the one who decides the fate of these, so once
they are safe here, we will need to have a pow-wow about what to do
next. I would like it to be a "group action" either by vote or some other
diplomatic way of deciding what's in the "best interest" for the molds.
I'd rather like for the folks who want them to put their plea in to the
group and once all the cards are on the table the group can decide
what to do next.
I will go get the molds next week, possibly on wednesday. Any list
members in the area that want to meet in Santa Rosa CA and help
load and unload ?
Oh yeah, and when production starts up on AW high tops again,
and I decide I need one, I hope that I'll be remembered and someone
will lay up a real nice one for me and maybe give me the "good guy"
discount and knock a couple bucks off the price... :-)
Thanks all,
Steve
