    Tony from the Gumball just called me and invited me to be a part of the Gumball 3000 that starts August 9, 2008 for 8 days.

    We first touched base on myspace as I offered him my help as far as providing a venue, SlideSF, for partying in San Francisco, and also for providing alcohol, Lotus Vodka. I like to help people when I can and I thought this would be a great opportunity to network and help some of my friends with their latest ventures.

    So he called me today and is interested in partnering with me for those things, but then he says he'd really like to have more girls involved in the Gumball and when am I ever going to have such an opportunity in my life.

    So here I am, just feeling out if anyone wants to sponsor me. I can also have a partner and if I do that, he offered to discount me. At this point in time I have a Lotus Elise, but perhaps I'll be able to borrow a car from work.

    If you're interested in sending me to the Gumball 3000, let me know. Sponsorship is around 120k I believe. If you want to be discreet and not have your name/company posted anywhere and just gift me the money I can help you figure that out too.

    Thanks

    Hey I figure some people may want to sponsor me, but may not want to publicize it. ;)

    I'm open to anonymous sponsorship or gifting too if anyone has a spare 120k burning a hole in their pocket. ;) ;)

    I'll offer a $20k discount!

    For $100k, I'll have your company's name tattooed on my body on live TV - how about that? ;)

    Yeah, but you guys would only be taking the money, whereas SuperVixen has generously and unselfishly offered to help with the figuring out part of the whole gifting process as well. :)

    Ya... I'd like to go, but it seems they are asking way too much for sponsorship. If I can pull it off, great, if not, I'll still enjoy life to the fullest. We'll see. I'm trying to work out some sort of bartering if I hook them up with a venue and free booze for all their guests in San Francisco. I'm having a meeting with one of my investors this week, so we'll see what he says. :)
