Help me Celebrate My 44th Birthday!
Today is My 44th Birthday!
Gosh that sounds older than I feel. The pic above is from my 24th birthday party. I can’t believe it was 20 years ago! And you know what’s crazy? I had already been doing Broke-Ass Stuart for 6 months by that point!
I’ve Been Doing BAS for Nearly Half My Life!
It all started as the zine on the left in the picture above. The second one came out a year later. What began as a little 33 page zine has gone on to be a series of books, a television show on IFC, an award winning website, and a cultural touchstone for the Bay Area and beyond.
And none of it would be possible without the support of readers like you.
Because of reader donations, we were able to accomplish the following in 2024:
- Publish 700+ articles
- Spread the word about 150+ nonprofits, charities, and fundraisers
- Pay dozens of writers and artists to create amazing things
- Promote 2000+ local events
- Break hundreds of stories
- Create hundreds of meaningful pieces of writing
- Help keep the Bay Area and beyond just a little bit weirder
So I’m hoping you can give me the best birthday present ever: Donating to our end-of-year fundraiser help make sure we’re around for another 20 years. Not only is it 100% tax deductible, you get a rad color changing shirt if you donate $50 or more!
Thank you!
Sending you love and solidarity during these insane times
