bobbyfinger: Hey everyone! “We’ve Got Mail” wasn’t as huge of a success as we’d initially thought. Turns out, someone stole Housing Works’ projector, the projector we were so kindly lent by McNally Jackson, and Amanda Bullock’s (HW’s Event Coordinator) personal laptop. Yes, I could go on a tirade and say “fuck you fuck you fuck you” over and over again, but that won’t really help matters, will it? It feels GOOD to say “fuck you fuck you fuck you” to the person who stole from an AIDS charity, but it won’t bring the stolen goods back, will it? Three things: If you attended WGM last night and noticed any shady happenings, let me or Housing Works know!  If you want to donate to Housing Works, click here! Or! Or! OR! If you stole the TWO projectors and laptop and are suddenly feeling like the asshole you are, bring it back to Housing Works as soon as possible! That would be the greatest donation of all. Thanks again to everyone who attended. Fuck you again to the asshole who ruined such a delightful night. I hate saying “please reblog” but, well, please reblog. This happened, and it sucks. If you have any information please let us know! We’re of course replacing McNally’s projector as soon as possible (love y’all so sorry thank you for saving the night!) and figuring out the rest. We’ve Got Mail was a HUGE success and an amazing night, thank you to the people who packed Housing Works, you’re all huge nerds and I love you all; except for whoever took my stuff. (I was trying to be professional by tweeting the cussing only on my personal twitter instead of the official twitter, but here I go posting it on Tumblr but y’all already know how professional I am so, there you go.)
