This is turning into a surprisingly polarising exercise. For every couple of contributions or positive comments there are a few who don’t share in the sentiment of the exercise. I would encourage discussion from both sides too, as long as it doesn’t turn into a shitfight! Here are some of today’s recent comments:
“You are the tightest git in the whole world. Why don't you actually PAY for your flight - yes PAY for something - because you can afford it - and then GIVE the $2,000 to charity. Yes, donate it to somebody that actually NEEDS it.”
“... and as for social experiments, nobody has mentioned it yet, but I see it as rather cheeky, there are many hundreds who would love to see Far play, myself included, but I’d never asked others to pay for my pleasure.”
“Chin up bud. Hope it helps. I just want to even up the karmic tables.”
“You are completely random! I love it!”
Please don’t approach this with your moral cap on. Ask yourself if it's possible to get a community of people to rally behind a trivial cause, for no gain beyond a sense of achievement, the satisfaction of helping a stranger or perhaps just being someway involved in something so completely random and absurd?!
... and onto today’s contributors for a total of $99.50, it’s greatly appreciated. To those that sent a msg, many thanks for your kind words, glad you can see the funny side.
David B - $20
Anon - $23.10
James D - $50 (wow mate seriously! Your generosity is frightening!)
Simon F - $6.40
So after 3 days the tally is sitting at $204.10 or 8%. Hopefully we can do 20% by week’s end! I’ve added a direct link to Oxfam’s donations page, so if you more inclined to donate to a far more serious cause, please do!
Soon, I will have something to exchange with you with every contribution. Will update you soon.
Until next time.

only could Davey C Fresh come up with an idea like this!
all the more power to ya. If Kyuss were playin' I'd be right there with you.
I really hope they end up playing more than just the two gigs together. I'm a massive Far fan and I wish I could travel over there to see this lot of shows but I've never been out of the country and these fall right in my uni exam period.
Good luck, I hope it all works out and you get to see them. Seems I'll be stuck in Bendigo while it's happening :(
Dave, it seems that there are some others that think that this is a fun idea. Well done! I hope you get there. If it helps I'm prepared to dare you for cash to do something. I'm not sure how this fits into the mission statement for the blogspot though. Maybe you could post the results of the dare on youtube?
Otherwise, keep on keeping on.
Go Hawks.
