This is a great opportunity to show how cool the Charleston online community is (for anyone who doesn't already know.) Love ya, Geoff. xoxoxox
I like Geoff, I sometimes wish he’s stop trying to be a poor man’s Hugh Grant, but in spite of that I still like him.
I have a novel that readers on Amazon and B&N.com give a 5 star rating. Email me for a copy, pay $10 or $20, whatever you can afford, I will sign it, pay postage in the US, and send it to you.
I will send you the book. You send me the money when you receive it, or donate the money directly to Geoff, It’s a trust thing.
My email is david@prodigalchild.net. Website is www.ProdigalChild.net

Read Geoff's previous blog posts if you have any doubts. This is a worthy cause. Let's show Geoff that America's got heart!
I sent $20 via pay pal to Kenneth's email addy.
Hope it helps.
Sorry about the inconcenience in my home state.
Geoff is a great guy and has donated so much time to help all of us 'entertainers' become film our stuff and get it out to the people.
I'm starting my own collection effort, and will gladly hand it over to help out a friend!!!

Wow. I have to admit the show of support has surprised me.
So far:
- 143.00 from earlier donations;
- 465.00 in tipjoy pledges; and
- 670.00 in paypal donations.
Assuming there's no overlap, that's $1,278.
That's 25% of the goal. Impressive showing!

Oh, and if you haven't been following Geoff's documentary of roadside America, do check out his blog. It's a nice slice of the U S of A.
Is anyone else having trouble actually paying on the tipjoy site? I keep trying to pay and it says they're doing maintenance but it has said that all day. Just wondering!

Yeah. I've had the same problem. Afraid you'll either have to wait or just use the paypal method linked to in the story.
It's a shame tipjoy is being a pain as it has some nice social features.
I pledged on TipJoy and it's down. If I pay on PayPal, will I still have a TipJoy obligation? I've never used TipJoy before and really don't know what to expect of it. Any guidance would be appreciated.

You aren't obligated -- and won't have to pay twice. You can cancel at http://tipjoy.com/canceltips and then donate by paypal.
Thanks for your patience -- I'm starting to think the TipJoy link should go.

The Greensboro News & Record has done a quick piece on @geofftech's tribulations: http://bit.ly/2Pt3It
I just gave $15. Greensboro's my hometown. It's a wonderful city with extraordinary people and an amazing sense of community. It's unfortunate that you didn't get to see that side of Greensboro.
Hope my small amount helps you get back on the road. Come back soon and give the Gate City a second chance.
Cheers!
Ken, thanks so very much for your article and for setting up the Paypal link for Geoff - I've since made my donation. Kind regards, Henry.
I'm in. Just donated what I could. Hope he Geoff gets the message - both financially and emotionally that we are behind him.
$5 just went your way. i know its not much but its what i got being the broke film student i am
i can only imagine how i would feel if i lost what you lost.
I'm in for $10.
I'm enjoying the trip so far, Geoff. Keep going! I might contact you to see if I can meet you when you come to Chicago.

The Charleston City Paper has also put up a post about the effort to get Geoff back his equipment. http://bit.ly/BF61p
To 'Guy with a job:' This is Geoff's job, he is making a film about America which will probably be shown in the UK if he manages to get it finished. Yours is the only negative comment I have come across. If you knew Geoff, you would know that he is a really nice person, and often gives his photo & computer services for nothing in his adopted home town of Charleston.
Just gave what I could. I'm very sorry this happened, but please don't go home.
"guy with a job"... you're sad. congrats on your employment, because you don't seem to be contributing much else to the world.
Geoff- Hard lesson for sure- but hope now you will always take your stuff out of the car at night! I'd even take it in when you eat somewhere- This is AMERICA man! I'll be joining the rest of your fans sending some cash - get back in the saddle and show us what you got.
