Gleep.

That's just all I have to say. Gleep. You lot are amazing. jere7my wrote most of this post, but I'll stick some editorial comments in the middle via italics

jere7my here. I said the Katstarter / Kickstander / Katstander / Can'tstand'er (hey!) would end on Wednesday night, and here it is going on midnight, so I can happily announce the pledge total: $1035!1 This is well over thrice the initial goal I set out, so wow. Thank you all for your pledges; I think this has demonstrated that people are awesome, that Kat is awesome, that bikes are awesome, and that bike thieves can suck it.

Here's the full list of donors, grouped by contact method. The initial rules were that everyone's pledges would be reduced proportionally to sum to $300, which in theory means all the pledges should be multiplied by 300/1035, or 29%. A number of people objected, saying they wanted to donate their full pledge regardless, so in the tally I've listed both the reduced pledge and, in parentheses, the full amount. Which you pay is entirely up to you -- Kat will be delighted with the reduced amount, the original pledge, or anything in between. She has posted details on how to get the money to her -- I will not actually handle any of the money, unless we happen to bump into each other. Or presumably, unless you wish to stay anonymous to me.

If I missed anyone's pledge, or got anything wrong, please correct in the comments. Two of the anonymous donors (Anon 3 and Anon 4) are anonymous only because they contacted me privately and haven't gotten back to me on whether they wanted to be public; feel free to out yourselves if you like. Thank you all again -- I am pleased to have had my optimism about human nature affirmed. Y'all are ridiculous. AND THE BEST PEOPLE EVER!

And that's all of jere7my's part, so back to me. SERIOUSLY THOUGH! You people! I could just...hug the fuck out of every single one of you (unless you're not into that) and man, you are all the best! Gah! Flail! THIS IS AMAZING!

It is way way way more rad to sniffle about the fact that I am loved and know amazing people than it is to sniffle about the fact that some douchecanoe stole my bike. May all of you have a hundred shiny ponies prance around you for the rest of days, or, you know, just lots of good luck or something.

MOOP!

1: Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, OHMYGOD! You people! Just! WHAT?! All the love!

Hugs are welcome! Though you may not see me for ages and ages, so if the hug you're holding for me is about to expire (gotta hate "best by" dates on such things), please feel free to pass it on to someone else.
