January 22, 2006Thank You: Open ThreadBy Karl-Thomas Musselman(Bumped for the design contest, if interested, leave a comment letting me know you are... -kt) Earlier today I put out a call for donations to help move over to the next generation of Burnt Orange Report. I've finally had a chance to plow through the dozens of e-mails that have come into me from every angle. And I cannot thank you enough. 12 donors gave a total of $470 (avg $39 / donor)! That will more than cover our transition costs as well as sustained costs through the end of the year! And 11 of the 12 of you donated $25+ so I'll be sending the first 7 of you the location for logging in to grab those first BOR User Accounts (and if anyone declines, then I'll move through the list in order of payment made). Any extra funds may go towards an additional locally developed, integrated ad system which a fellow blogger has contacted me about. I'm excited, and you should be, too. My next challenge to the Burnt Orange Community is for anyone that would like to try their hand at BOR logo. I'll offer up to $50 (and possibly an additional contract) for a finished design or conceptual ideas that lead to a design (thanks to the generosity of today's donors)! Requirements include... Possible Colors: Burnt Orange, Black, White, Grays (others if they work) Now for that Open thread and such... + Pink Dome gets the Funny on. + Eye on Williamson County has a neat write-up that our rural readers can identify with, about not being the only Democrat in one's neighborhood. + Chris Bell opens up a Student Union section of his website. He's also picked up some endorsements from SDEC members which are a mixed bag. Some like Bill Perkison from SD 24 are trying to push for reform in the party, others like Dr. Dennis Teal from SD 3 (who is a prospective TDP Chair Candidate) are living in the past. + Bob Gammage has cleaned up his site some, and started expanding his Issues page. Wes Clark will be hosting a fundraiser and reception for him in Houston next Thursday. More info or to attend: click here. Posted by Karl-Thomas Musselman at January 22, 2006 09:02 PM | TrackBack

That picture of Wes Clark on the right hand side of Gammage's home page is just plain fuggin funny. Posted by: Laqueshia at January 19, 2006 08:21 PMK-T - be careful of the Burnt Orange and grey - it will look too much like Kos. I like the second bar of colors, with the purples and burnt orange, or the 5th bar with the cool palette of lighter greens and blues. Just don't be seen as Kos, be you. BTW - the toll issue may turn out to be one that could affect quite a few UT students eventually. I-35 is set to be a toll road from SA to Austin. Stay tuned. I am going to a hearing today in SA about it. Posted by: dksbook at January 23, 2006 10:40 AMThanks for the tip, though we tend to believe that we were burnt orange far before Kos stole our colors ;) Posted by: Karl-T at January 23, 2006 10:47 AMWell, Sweetie, of course we had it first! He done stole that color, you're right. I'm just afraid folks will think you are, well, copying him. I'm loooking forward to the new look, whatever it is. But don't forget to do your schoolwork, too... Posted by: dksbook at January 23, 2006 11:48 AM
