    Hey guys,

    My leave got approved. I may have gained access to a very expensive HD camera ($10000 range), tripod, and microphone as well. You should be able to watch the presentation hopefully if all goes well. I may try and buy a cheap voice recorder in case they didnt let me film everything.

    I am going to convince most of our heroes (Jahoda, etc) to have a short interview as well when I get there. Please think about what questions you really like me to ask and I'll bring it up.

    Guys this is the first step in many steps to come. If we can get this happening we'll be moving on to a crowfunding project next. I'll try and bring up the crowdfunding idea with as many of the researchers as possible.

    Also plz chip in if you can. Even $10 or $20 will go a long way. $10 would cover a bus ticket from the airport, a voice recorder, and many other small expenses involved.

    P.s. Thank you for nominating me to go. I'll be doing the best I can to bring you back all the information and in depth analysis.

    Love u guys as always.

    Desmond

    (Also Arashi I'll get in touch with Boldy tonight after work)

This is THE conference of the year, THE one and only opportunity to get a good idea on how far the best and most promising researchers all around the world really are and get a good understanding of what hurdles still need to be taken (if any !). And I'm really happy Desmond is willing to go, he's obviously a very intelligent guy who knows a lot about the subject, so the perfect guy to get us good and reliable information on the future of hair restoration !

    @Desmond: Please contact Boldy, he can give you my skype name.
    Great news things are moving forward! will be following up to make my donation as soon as the account information is out.

    I'm sure Desmond will come back with valuable information that will give us a lot to talk about

    Lets try and raise more than the goal. Desmond should not have to put up $500 of his own money; but it is very kind of him to say he will!

    It shouldn't! 2k is an easy goal. 20-40 members all pitch in between $50-100 and we're golden.

    *EDIT:

    We should rope in guys from other forums, perhaps even women on women's hair loss forums.

    It'll get resolved eventually, but im just giving you a heads up. Hopefully $3k isn't something they should be alarmed about, it really isn't that much cash.

    If anything, we can continue to support Desmond while he's there by sending funds online.

    However, he REALLY needs a voice recorder of some kind. Theres no way he's going to take notes in all of the presentations.
