Oopskate is coming.

Oopskate is back.

This year Rupert will be 5. As usual, Rupert needs no presents as he is easily the most spoiled cat on Earth, so we’re going to help someone else out.

Alex King is a member of the industrial band BlakOpz(you may remember them from the band shirt gacha at WGF.) I had the chance to meet him the last time they were in NYC, and thought he was a really sweet person. A couple months ago, I found out his dog Toby was sick. Very sick- to the tune of 8000USD in vet bills sick.

I’ve lived this nightmare before.

A group of people put together a compilation album, called Justicia Pro Bestia (which I bought, and you can buy here) in order to help defray the cost of the ongoing medical treatment for Toby. But more help is needed, and I am all too happy to throw this year’s Oopskate behind Toby’s vet bills.

All proceeds from Oopskate 2013 will go here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-toby, which is the indiegogo fundraiser to help with Toby’s vet bills.

As always, the contest will be Best in Orange, and a bunch of merchants are throwing in with gift certificates for the winner (I’ll post a list before the day of- I need to compile one, first.)
Also as always, there will be exclusives, special colors, and gachas at the Ooprink, proceeds to benefit the indiegogo as well (if you’re a merchant who wants in, let me know asap.)

Further, Alex is offering up RL BlakOpz merch to the contest winner as well.

I’m spinning. Lokii is hosting. Whichever lunatics on staff who sign on are dancing (it’s the one night a year we still have dancers.) Skates are free.
Rupert is happy, safe and healthy. He doesn’t need presents (though he always loves a party.) But Toby needs help, and we can do that.
