It's Only Money

"It's only money." It's a friend's oddly inspirational quote that is responsible for my upcoming weekend adventure to London (baby steps, mind), for which I couldn't be happier. It's great the way we begin planning travel so frugally, wading through a million combinations and permutations to find the absolute cheapest option, building frustration and losing patience as it's revealed to us that this option doesn't exist, or if it did it was last week. There's a point, we'll call it quarter to four in the morning, that marks a paradigm shift, and suddenly all is thrown to the wind. Last night was the first time I'd made it that far (it feels great).

More importantly re: money

Said the Gramophone, as I'm sure you are aware, is a lovingly tended mp3 blog. One of the most respected, and certainly one of the finest daily reads. In light of an increasing readership and subsequent maintenance costs, the curators of StG have begun a funding drive to cover said expenses. This is a wonderful opportunity to support the most deserving of audioblog causes, please go here to donate.

Enjoy!
