JAQrabbit trip to "Queers & Comics"

I'm Jason A. Quest, creator of the queer bio-porno-graphic novel JAQrabbit Tales [NSFW]. I've been invited to be a panelist at the two-day "Queers & Comics" conference in San Francisco in April, which is a great opportunity. But I have two problems: 1) I live in Michigan, which is nowhere near there, and 2) I've been out of work for the past year, which puts air travel way beyond my budget.

My goal here is $681, which will cover my travel expenses... which are pretty basic. I'm flying in overnight just before the conference, and flying out overnight right after, and couch-surfing the night between, so I won't need a hotel. (See below for details.) If I raise anything beyond the goal, it won't go toward a seat upgrade, airport drinks, or rent boys, it'll go toward my regular day-to-day diet of ramen and peanut butter.

Any small amount will help. I make queer porn, so I'm not expecting a lot of people to actually share this to their Facebook friends and families, which means I'm counting on the people on my own lists to help me out. Thanks!
