Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Alright guys, training camp is rapidly approaching and once again we at the Warpath are asking for your help.

Joe Crisp is going to be on the scene at Redskins Park to bring us his usual outstanding camp coverage, and we're asking for your financial support to help pay for his hotel expenses.

We did a great job at funding his minicamp trip and I'm confident we can do the same for his training camp trip.

We're looking at about $550 for his hotel stay for the first week of August, and I'm going to start things off with a $100 donation knocking our goal down to $450.

Please make your paypal payments directly to Joe at:

[email="joecrisp@thewarpath.net"]joecrisp@thewarpath.net[/email]

Your continued support is greatly appreciated!

-The Warpath Team-

Thanks for the great reporting Joe!

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Wow, you guys! This is so awesome! I know it's a LOT of money, so I really, really, REALLY appreciate it!

I can't believe how generous you guys are. Believe me, I'll do everything I can to put together the best camp report possible.

WOW! That's damn generous. I'm in for $25 next Friday (don't get money till then).

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

I don't think I've ever done paypal so how do I chip in?

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

i'm putting 20 in right now. Good to see great reporting, especially down here in Texas.

Do me proud!

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

$25

Also, if you guys need any extra hosting for the interviews or anything, I'd be happy to help out there too.

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

I'm in for 20 or so but I do not know how to make the payment go directly to Joe. Can anyone explain how?

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

For your excellent camp reporting I sent $50 towards your camp fund Joe

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

We've only got $200 to go peeps (my contribution will be in next Friday). Keep it coming.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Interviews like the one we received from Chris Cooley today are the reason Joe's trips to camp are so important to this site. Not only are the impressions he gets from attending the practices and press conferences damn near unique to the internet (we are the first fan site ever to have such access with the Skins), but the relationships he's able to build with players, coaches, and team employees are invaluable.

Please remember that Joe did this as a labor of love for a few years before we started kicking in to make his life a little easier. He continues to hit camp on his vacation time, leaving his quite understanding wife to do so. No one is required to contribute - I'm flat busted, so I can't for this round - but let's be [u]very[/u] thankful that thewarpath.net not only has the access that we do, but a member/moderator dedicated enough to give of himself the way Joe has.

By the way, the best price I saw in a cursory internet check for nearby hotels with high-speed internet access was $116 a night, before taxes. Thanks, Joe, for bargain shopping as well as you have.

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Indeed excellent work. Waiting on pay day and I'll contribute as much as I can.

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Thanks so much everybody, for your contributions and the kind words!

Brud, I really appreciate your sentiments. You're a class guy.

I understand the question about the hotel prices. It really is a LOT of money for a week-long hotel stay in the Ashburn area. I searched the internet exhaustively last week, and on average, the lowest price I could find on any of the hotel reservation services was about $110 a night, for a hotel in the Dulles/Ashburn/Sterling/Herndon/Fairfax/Chantilly/Manassas areas, with high-speed internet, during that first week of camp. That's how we came up with the $550 figure. I'm hoping it won't be much higher than that by the time I actually book the room.

These are definitely the highest prices I've seen since I've been doing this, but in the past, I've always reserved the room at least a month in advance, since I was paying out of my own pocket, generally on a credit card. My wife and I decided we just couldn't afford to do that anymore. I'm still paying off last year's training camp trek. :embarrass

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

[QUOTE=cpayne5]What exactly are you trying to say?[/QUOTE]

I wasn't accusing anyone of anything. I was just thinking Joe was getting ripped. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the hotels around there hiked up prices based on camp though.

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

for category of purchase do I select service or quasi-cash?

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

I'll contribute $50. Next year I'd like to be sponsored too. What do you say Joe? Can I be your camp buddy next year?

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Chicken Teriyaki....ummmm!

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

I pay $36 a year, not including licensing fees, franchise tax fees, and other assorted fees for the NFL Network :rolleyes:..........just to obtain any little bit of information that I can on the Redskins. Joe provides the fans so much more info on the Skins. His stuff is FANTASTIC, so it's well worth contributing to his camp fund!!!

As they used to say on the cartoon..........YO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And knowing is half the battle...

[QUOTE=skinsfanthru&thru]for category of purchase do I select service or quasi-cash?[/QUOTE]

Select "service". According to Paypal's help page ([url]https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext&eloc=7&loc=5&unique_id=1651&source_page=_logout&flow=)[/url], if you select "quasi-cash", your bank or credit card company may treat the transaction as a cash advance, which could be subject to cash advance fees.

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Good call. I think I did that last time. :mad:

Ooops. :embarrass

I honestly didn't know what the difference was until I saw skinsfanthru&thru's question about it. I didn't think it mattered, but apparently it does. If everyone knew that, I guess nobody would ever select "quasi-cash". ;)

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!
 

Damn credit card companies, trying to swindle me out of my hard-earned gigolo dollars!!!

Re: Send Crisp to Camp!

DAMMIT TAFKAS! One day... I will stump you.

One day..........:)
