CHALLENGE
We challenge you, our community, to raise $6000 for Creative Commons by subscribing to GOOD Magazine and having a drink with us at the famed South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, TX. All it takes is for 200 people over the next 2 weeks to subscribe to GOOD. No, my math skills are not wrong. If you subscribe in the next 2 weeks your $20 bucks will be generously matched by Six Apart for up to $2000. So you won't just raise $4000 for CC but $6000.DETAILS
Since July 2006, Creative Commons has been one of the 12 non-profits benefitting from the Choose GOOD campaign. GOOD magazine was started by some innovative people who have taken a non-traditional approach to promoting their magazine - and have experienced unbelievable success. The folks at GOOD have been traveling around the nation hosting parties and more importantly raising money and awareness for the non-profits that they support.Over the past 7 months they have sold 11,899 subscriptions generating over $200,000 which in turn is gifted to 12 non-profits that are doing new, innovative, and great things. CC is one of them and since July GOOD has raised over $11,000 for us!
We need your help to make GOOD Magazine's SXSW party honoring Creative Commons the most successful party they've hosted to date. Cover charge is the $20 subscription fee and we strongly suggest emailing your rsvp to rsvp@goodmagazine.com.
If you want to help support CC and attend one of GOOD's infamous parties but do not reside in the Austin, TX area don't worry - your subscription fee gets you into any of the upcoming GOOD parties. And yes all parties are open bar.
By subscribing to this awesome new magazine you gain entrance to the biggest GOOD/SXSW party to date and you're helping us raise $6000 for CC. That money will support what we continue to do best - enable a participatory culture.

Subscribed to the magazine. Looks interesting, and nice to be able to have some type of impact.
Well, I’m not entirely certain how old we are talking about here, but I can tell you that when my daughter was born the doctor said that for an infant up to toddler age, fat is quite important for healthy development. If I remember correctly, this was also suggested for my wife while she was pregnant, in order to help the growth of the fetus. Frankly, though, I’m always skeptical when it comes to food, in terms of what we are told. I’ve read articles in the New Yorker (obviously not a science journal, but also not the National Enquirer) that suggest that body types and genetic history have a lot more to do with healthy weights than anything else. I’ve read plenty of books that claim the French are healthy because they eat a lot more fat than we do. I’ve seen plenty of reports on the dangers of trans fats and fats in general. The Atkins people claim its carbs. Ultimately, I’m not sure at this point how anyone could offer definitive evidence on the subject, and without that, I fail to see how it can be regulated.
I’m really not sure what you mean by this -- to raise $6000 for Creative Commons by subscribing to GOOD Magazine and having a drink with us at the famed South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, TX. I hope I’m not taking it all wrong but $6000 is more than enough for just a mere drink. I mean I can give it to a church or to a charity or to an institution that houses scholars or poor children who want to go to school.
Thanks
