Hello, all!! I’ve been lurking here for months and have decided to get a trial to see how I like the ability topost. (Who am I kidding, I’m going for the full membership next week. This place rocks!!!) I writing now becuase I’m venturing on a journey. My destination is Germany. The only problem I have is funding for the trip. I need a sponser… Background: I’m fully able to pay for the trip, but dont want to spend the money, money which I can easily find uses for in taking care of my family. My wife has challenged me to find a way to get there without actually having to pay for it. So, now I need to find a corp. sponser for the trip. (I’m trying to get to Wacken, Germany for the 3 day music festival held every August for the last 15 years.) I’m more then willing to work during my trip, i.e.: advertising for sponser company, handing out flyers…whatever it takes. I tried selling advertising space on my back. Unfortunately, my highest bid on E-bay was only $52, far short of what I would need. So, now I put myself at the mercy of everyone on the Board for ideas. No idea is too bizarre… Thank you!! ---

Welcome to the boards. I wish you much success but I don’t think requests like these are allowed here. I’m sure a mod will be by soon to look at this thread. Best of luck on your sponsorship quest ---

Prostitution out of the question ? It’s kind of like space (or time ) on your back. 😃 ---

It’s too bad you didn’t go early this year or in 2005, or you could advertise for a national soccer team, or maybe a Dutch beer company. ---

Hmmm…you could raise money by letting people kick you in the groin for say $5/kick…
