HOBOs = Key
The HOBOs are flying off the shelves. So far, four HOBOs have been adopted. G-Mac, Vatto, Shankbone, and Peaches are gone but alot of good HOBOs still remain (and Ruppe is still available too).
Make sure you act quick and Adopt-A-HOBO. Get them while they last or else you'll be standing alone as the only person on your block without a HOBO to call their own. You'll lonely and HOBOless with nobody to give you high fives.
An astounding $114 has been raised so far and put into the HOBO Fund. I'd like to thank these fine folks for giving money:
An updated list will always be found here or by clicking on the link on the Shop/Donate Page.
As everyone knows some big HOBO events are coming up very soon. Some of us HOBOs have been coming up with big plans for these events. Hopefully, the Mustache Contest and HOBOWL will be as big as ever.
To make these events as big and as important as they should be HOBO needs some funding. As you have probably noticed I have added a donation button to the left hand side of the page. We need everyone to chip in so we can pay for the big plans that are ahead.
Upcoming Plans that may need some funding:
We can either all order t-shirts through Cafepress ($1 goes to the HOBO Fund) or if we're all willing to chip in money we can have them made at Handsome Prints or another printer and give them out the day of the event.
The title belt costs between $150-250. I think this would be an awesome idea and would be totally hilarious. I say we should invest some money into this. Why not go all out when we have a chance to? If all the HOBOs pitch in $20 using the donation button then we'll easily have enough for the title belt. If we pitch in a little more we will also be able to get the clock for the HOBOWL.
Also, look for another new fundraising feature to come soon. The Adopt-A-HOBO program. It's like adopting a starving child in Ethiopia but instead you are adopting a HOBO. I will be posting more in depth on this in the coming days and it is ready to go live.
I decided that in time for the 4th of July, HOBO needed to debut a website. As of now it's still a work in progress but it's coming along. I'm learning the Drupal software as I go (content management software that powers this site). More things will probably be added in the future but first I'll go over a few of the features as of now.
* BLOGS - All HOBOs will have a user profile and blog set up for them. I would like every HOBO to participate in this at least somewhat. Don't feel pressured to write posts all the time, just leave something when you have news. You will each have your own Blog page and all blog posts will go to the front page.
* EVENTS - As you can see there is an events tab and "Upcoming Events" in the sidebar. Here we can post all HOBO events. All HOBOs will be able to post events. To try it out, post your birthday so we know when each HOBOs birthday is.
* FORUMS - I've created a new forum here for us to discuss our HOBO matters. I will be keeping my other forum at showstoppa.org open, but I'd like to get all HOBO discussions over here from now on.
* MAP - I've created a Frappr map for us. This is just a Google Map where you enter the city in which you live. With this we will be able to see where all HOBOs and Friends of HOBO currently are living. Everyone please post yourself up on there, put up a picture, and leave a comment.
* STORE - HOBO Merchandise! I created a few things in a Cafepress store with the words "HOBOS = KEY" on them. I'll try to work on some more things. If anyone has any ideas please leave a comment on this post. Also, $1 from each purchase goes to the HOBO Fund. This will take care of all the costs of being a HOBO. I'm not making any other money off of the merchandise.
* HOBOPEDIA - This is an Encyclopedia about HOBO. Here you will eventually find everything you have ever wanted to know about HOBO, and probably some things you'd rather not know. This is editable by all users and I encourage all HOBOs to participate. Help build a written history of HOBO. More information is found when yo visit the HOBOpedia.
* PHOTOS - I've created a Flickr group dedicated to HOBO. My suggestion is for everyone to start a Flickr accoung (they're great and free, I love mine), upload any pictures you have, and join and add all of your pictures to the HOBOS=KEY group.
* POLLS - Vote in our current poll and tell me what you think of the site so far. All HOBOs will be able to create a poll and anyone visiting the site will be able to vote in it. The latest poll that is created will appear on the front page. Older polls can be found on the "poll" link in the sidebar menu. Be courteous and let other people's polls run on the front page for awhile before you put yours up.
* ADS - I put up some Google Adsense ads to see if I can make some more money for the HOBO Fund. If anyone seriously objects to this, speak up and I can remove them.
Friends of HOBO can also join the site and create a profile and comment, post in the forum, etc. I'm keeping some parts HOBO member only, such as blog posts. Feel free to try things out. Don't worry if you think you messed something up, just contact me and I will be able to fix it. Enjoy the new HOBO Website and be sure you sign up for an account and fill out your profile.
