Day 38 - July 23 - Spirit West Coast

UPDATED INFORMATION -

Spirit West Coast has responded to my original query by clarifying their offer. Due to our unusual situation, they have agreed to refund 90% of my purchase price, significantly greater than the 50% I originally understood. Thanks, Ginger! For those who were considering my offer to transfer the tickets, I have returned the package to SWC and no longer have them. I'm sorry if you were considering them!

I've used this blog for prayer requests, for praises, for pleas for support, for expressions of frustration, and overall as a sort of catharsis for myself. But here's a new one - I need to bless someone else by selling something.

Spirit West Coast happens next week in Monterey, California - 7/31 - 8/2/08. My family attended the full event last year with friends, had an absolute blast, and vowed to go again this year. So I purchased the event passes and RV site in March. I remembered all this last week when the tickets etc. arrived in the mail. Stamped boldly across the bottom of the page was the ominous "No refunds, no returns".

I called SWC two days ago to see if something could be worked out, and the first person I spoke with already knew about Connor! It was very neat to be able to discuss my problem with someone who had already heard and was already praying for us. After some discussion with the powers that be, however, I was told that the best that could be done for us was that we could send our tickets etc. back, and they would refund something like 50% of the cost.

Cherié and I discussed it and decided that, rather than just sending the stuff back for half the cost, we would rather offer them to someone at the 50% price. I know it's really short notice, and not many people will be able to take advantage of this. But, if you can use five full-event passes and a 40-foot RV space in the Upper Pink campground next week, please contact me through the contact page.

Here's what I've got -

Five (5) full-event passes
One (1) RV site that can accommodate up to a 40-foot RV

Total cost was $656.25. I can send it back this Friday and get something like half of that back, or $328.12 (and a ha'penny, if we still had such things!). If someone wants all of this stuff (I hesitate to try and break up the package at this late date) for $325, it's yours - just contact me through the Contact page of the website with a phone number and we'll get it FedEx'd to you ASAP.

Someone picking this up from us would let us recover the same amount of money as if I just turned the tickets back in, and it would let us bless someone else with an exciting, uplifting and worshipful experience as well.

If you're interested, please contact me quickly. I've got to send it all back to SWC on Friday if I don't get a response.

Sorry to twist the blog like this. This will be the only time you will ever catch me selling something here, if I can possibly avoid it!
