The Gryphon has been providing one of the most popular stage events at Eurofurence. Five years in a row. For free, as a volunteer, coming in from another continent. If that has earned him enough gratitude that people are willing to donate for him to help finance his trip to return (and perform another free three-hour show) in economically difficult times, I see absolutely no justification for public displays of spite or jealousy. This is an entirely voluntary thing. If you do not want to support Two the Ranting Gryphon, feel free to simply not donate.

Oh my mistake. I didn't realize that gave you the right to openly ask for donations to go to a con than others. I suppose if some nobody came along and asked for donations, a different light would be cast upon it.
It's just not right. If you can't afford to go, then don't go! I myself debated over several weeks (thanks Leowi for giving me the time) if I could budget the expense to attend. Going to Eurofurence is not a life and death thing. Yes it's a great vacation, but there will be another one next year I'm sure of it.
Besides, there are a lot of other people that would love to donate their talents for entertainment. Why not give them a moment in the limelight?
Suran:
.o0(they simply don´t come that highly recommended)

@ TiGWolf
Maybe you have never seen it but Further Confusion for example had a button on their main page for Travel donations.
Everybody was able to sign up and people could decide if they send money or not.
And of course everybody could open such a topic in our forum for everybody, no matter if you are popular or not.
There was the same thing going on last year for Thimothy Albee too.
And another thing is, if you don't like "2" nobody forces you to give money, its that simple. There is no need for hard feelings in this thread.
Those things belong to private messages.

like it was said. 2 was there 5 years in a row. He is known A LOT in furry fandom cause of his awesomeness. If there are other talented Furries who want to SERIOUSLY make a show, then they - I guess - can come to the con, talk with cheetah and the other staffies, maybe do an audition and maaaybe he'll get a small time space for performance.
2 has proven that he is absolutely fit for the furry horde, make 97% of them laughing. But yes. Most of the people have to look where to get the money for ef. It's not few (esspecially for non euros). But with the fame there comes the privileges. And it's not even HIMSELF. it's Uncle - Fucking - Kage who asks for his stage commrade who is - like I said - well known in Furry fandom (in the good way)
It's late so I write again: Fame = privileges.
BigBlueFox:
Nobody forces anyone to donate.
If you have one hundred friends that you want to show up at EF, grow some balls and start a donation fund for all of them.
I have the feeling that all the people that bitch on LJ, Twitter, this Forum etc. will eventually attend EF and enjoy 2's show. I personally wouldn't mind excluding them from this event, since apparently, they cannot tolerate other people trying to help in one particular situation.
Of course, it won't come to that. So please keep on flaming. See you at Kage vs. 2.
