The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part ten — Page 82

#20 made me quite happy. And a lot of the ones this week seem cleverer than usual, so that's fun.

The charity idea is really sweet, but I'd also be afraid to send money to someone I don't know at all over the internet in a situation like that. Hm.

I've heard of that theatre company; Adam took part in a benefit concert for which the proceeds went to them a couple of years ago, I think. If nothing else, it's a great organization that deals with kids *and* music, both of which he loves.

Maybe if someone more established among Adam fans than this IMDB poster than emerged out of nowhere (like, I dunno, Connie), I'd be more trusting. But the fact that this plan was established on a message board (with *zero* accountability for the poster), it just sounds like an internet scam waiting to happen. Everyone can send a check directly to the charity and puts in the memo spot that the donation is in Adam's name- it doesn't have to be one big check. The fact that he's insists it should be all together- and all the money goes through him- is suspicious. If there were a better way to track this (eBay has really strict rules about their charity auctions, for example) I'd be more trusting but otherwise, you have nothing to prove that your money went where you were expecting it to.

I'm cautious because a few years back, there was a previous incarnation of CB that had a major problem when the head of the board requested donations from posters for site maintainence. He ended up shutting down the boards out of nowhere and keeping the money. I personally didn't lose money, but others did. The betrayal was a bigger blow than the $20 lost.

Hi Amber!!

Nothing much has happened here, due to Adam's lack of events. =/

Glad you are doing well.
