Fundraising
So, I was just chatting with Echo, and she was trying to help me come up with ways to raise some money to pay for Columbia.

1) Fundraising event. Throw big party, invite all my poor friends, ask each of them to pitch in ten bucks. Might make enough for plane ticket.
2) Pay Pal on my blog. Encourage avid readers to donate, ala Blogger Server Fund.
3) Sell everything I own. Go to NYC naked.
4) Borrow money, sinking self further into debt.
