So, it's two days out from Furry Fiesta, and I have a problem.

Specifically, a full year of unemployment has left me with not enough money to get there.

That said, I do have a plan, or at least the outline of one, but I'll need help from the Houston furry community to pull it off.

First, I need help getting a job quickly. I really can't afford to go if I can't guarantee a future income stream, so I need to get a job lined up by the end of this week. I'm not picky at all at this point, so my main priority is getting hired quickly. Even a temp job will do, as long as I can get a few hundred dollars out of it (and it doesn't interfere with the con). If you have a job lead, or better yet can help me get a job interview quickly, then please let me know!

Second, once I have a job lined up, I'll need to borrow money. I don't really *want* to do this, but I won't be able to get a paycheck before TFF, so this is my only option. I estimate it'll cost me about $200 for a bare-bones trip. This needs to be a local who is either staying in Houston, or can get me the money before they leave for TFF, since I'd need it to fill up the car before I go.

For those who are able and willing to help, thank you. If you have a job lead, feel free to comment on this journal, but if you're willing to lend money, let me know via a private note.

UPDATE: I've managed to get a job interview tomorrow, so right now I just need to find someone willing to help me with the immediate money situation. Assuming I actually get the job, mind you.
