Ok, let's wait for Desmond and see if he can come. I just need to know with some time in advance to coordinate my agenda.

Just wanted to offer as a last resource so at least we have someone recording the sessions

I'm not uncomfortable talking to people at all but don't feel I'm knowledge enough to handle an interview with a researcher

Let's give Desmond a few more days before me make a decision

looks like they don't want to go or can't go...

That's very good of you to offer and yes if Desmond or Hellouser cannot make it, I'd be all for you attending.

I for one am thankful you'll do this because we may need you to do it.
It would be best if Desmond would do it because he does interviews and the researchers expect him to ask for interviews.
I understand your reluctance not to do interviews. I myself would not feel comfortable with it either because I'm so darn self-conscious about my hair.
Also, your work schedule may not permit you to record important key presentations and that could keep you from recording the best most relevant presentation(s) so we should still try to get Desmond to go. I believe we can raise enough money to help Desmond get to the Congress and we are waiting to hear from him. We need him to set-up an account to receive funds. He should open an account and we need him to purchase his congress admission and airplane ticket before prices go up.

Desmond? Please respond.

Whoever is going to go, i will participate aswell

Oh and if there are germans here, there's the World Conference on Regenerative Medecine in Leipzig 21-23 october

http://www.wcrm-leipzig.com/scientific_program.php

when you look at the program, it's all about tissue regeneration, reprogramming and pluripotency,3D bioprinting, cell therapy, etc..so in fact the bases for our futur hair therapy, and also as they will talk about tissue and skin, they will maybe also talk about hair follicles directly. Just put here if some germans are interested

Ok guys, even though I believe I’m not the most knowledgeable person here to attend the congress, I’m getting a bit worried that no one else is committing attend (Hellouser hasn’t accept and Desmond is based out of Australia) So I have been thinking to volunteer since I’m local and cost will be very low in comparison to flying someone else.

My biggest concern is work availability since that time of the year is typically a busy one for me but I’m working on my agenda and should have confirmation in the next few weeks .

If I can get time on my agenda would you guys agree on having me assisting? I don’t want to commit to interviewing any scientist but I can videotape every session we believe to be relevant and gather as much information as I can.

Since I’m local, we would only need to gather 850$ for the admission and maybe a couple of hundred to rent a camera and tripod (I don’t think recording with my iPhone will give the results we are hipping for).

Let me know if your opinion, before I get the ball rolling at work

[allTheGoodNamesAreTaken]

Same here. Better hurry up before nameless's reservation expires!!

[Superuser]

I will donate for this to!

[Sogeking]

Set up an account and I'll donate.

[Follisket]

Please, would someone just take my money.

[nameless]

If we send Desmond instead of Hellouser we will need:

Air Fare - Approx $1,100

Hotel - Approximately $950 - $1,100 (depending if 4 nights or 5 nights)

Hair Loss Congress ticket/admission - $$$$$


It looks like the cost to send Desmond by himself will be about $3,000 - $3,500.

Folks, we are wasting time and while we are wasting the costs of items are going up. I just checked to see what the cost of a HLC ticket is and it appears to have gone up to about $850 or $1,185. We need to stop dilly-dallying.

Desmond please open up an account so we can chip in for your expenses.

Desmond, we have asked Hellouser a dozen times or so to set-up an account so we can fund his travel to the Hair Loss Congress but he isn't doing it.

Initially, you were unavailable to go the Congress this year but now you are available to go to the congress. Since you're willing to go to the Congress would you please open up an account so we can get this moving along? We need to get this in gear and Hellouser appears to be disinterested in going as a stand-in for our group. You did everything right last year at the Congress so please open an account so that we can send you instead of Hellouser.

This is nothing personal against Hellouser. I figure he just has cold feet about the responsibility involved with being a stand-in for other people. But the thing is that we need someone to go and Desmond is now willing to go so the thing to do is switch this all to Desmond and get moving on this. Let's get moving on it.

Desmond please set up an account so we can send you. You went last year so you have it down pat anyway so we should send you this year. It will save some money if we fund ONLY you though so you will have to do your own video work, but you can stay at the very hotel where the HLC is happening if you will act quickly and set-up an account so we can pay the hotel cost with cash quickly.

hellouser, the hotel room offer is the best and most stressless way. there's nothing better than staying in the same hotel during long intensive seminars. i was in the same situation many times.
please think about the room offer, and set up the account please, so we can throw the money at you. there's only a few weeks left.
