The Hoy So Operation: 2008
RAISED: $111 excluding gracious beer donations and priceless assistance from friends and fans!
SPENT: $1,309.26 excluding many beer purchases and decent internet speed costs
COST: $1,198.26 plus many beer purchases and the price of a decent internet speed

Domain Registration: $106.05, Webhosting: $154.80, New CD/DVD Drive: $40.50, New Monitor: $130, P.O. Box: $36, New All-In-One: $108.89 & 8.9% interest on our Visa as we attempt to pay that and other indiscretions off.

Over all we made less than 10% back compared to what we spent this year maintaining and feeding our website here in this little corner of the interweb. Our Stranger AD, which was costly, also seemed to only draw in about 0.00015% of The Strangers estimated weekly readers to our site. We seem to have retained them somewhat decently, so if you found out about us from our AD in The Stranger and are reading this now, we love you. We are glad you seemed to like our AD, which taught us a lot about placing one, experience we are glad to have since we would like to try it again.

Our Thanksgiving Countdown this year was unquestionably our best ever! This was our fourth year counting down the horror that can be Thanksgiving, and we love it! We want to thank everyone who was involved with that in every way so much for participating and helping out and making it the most awesome year yet!

Other highlights from this year were meeting so many new people, making so many new friends and fans, building our website up to be what it is today and what we hope it will be for a long, long time! This year was a great year over all and we not only learned a hell of a lot but have grown so much, from a small "I Do What I Damn Well Please" hobby site of one eccentric man named Jason to an outlandish, quirky, online publication of sorts. If you have a better description of what this site is and has become we would love to hear it, honestly we do not how to describe this!

We would finally like to give Special Thanks to all those who helped us out so much in 2008, all of those who donated when we were fundraising for our AD in The Stranger, all of those who helped out with all of our videos and projects and photoshoots, and everyone else we may unfortunately forget to mention by name below for everything you have done!

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Gladiators Eat Fire (Mark, Joe, Brian & Taylor), CharQ, a man named Micah, Jewels, Sabra, Matt (for randomly jumping into our Stranger AD), The Enforcer & her Man, Grant of hellocharger, Natalie Wood, Erin, Deuk Bennie, CZYK, Mr. Proff, Mika, Bethany (for painting us with blood) & Niall!

Thanksgiving Countdown 2007
COST: $75 plus change and beer

Our Some People Love Turkey video, a video short title brought back year after year, definitely pushed the line into severely awkward and uncomfortable viewing. But dammit, if you do not reach for the lines who the hell is going to know just where they are? We have done you a service by going there, and by going there we know never to go back.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Char, Jewel's, Ben & The Sethster!
