It's Sly Stone's 73rd Birthday!!!
Campaign is now extended!
We need your help and donations to make this 73rd birthday, for Sly, extra special!!
And for a extra special gift, we want to upgrade his many year's old
computer equipment/software to the latest iMac Desktop computer for
his personal music production. This will allow him extra music
capability and storage he doesn't have now. Today, Sly's computer
(MacBook Air) is: over 5 years old, limted with only 4gig of memory,
128 gig storage, old and non-updated music production software. This
limits Sly's ability to produce quality and varied music in an
efficient manner.
The iMac Desktop which will have increased memory and storage,
new and latest version of music production software and the latest
hardware configuration!!! And Sly can pour out his music!!!
We're the Love City Convention men, B. Crit (NJ) & Greg
Ardis (GA), the ones who put on a convention honoring Sly & The
Family Stone AND who coordinated TWO personal cameo appearances of Sly
at The Family Stone Concerts
(Love City: Sly & Family Stone Cronvention,
January 24, 2015. Check out the link above for that convention appearance).
Just an FYI to reassure. This is NOT a scam and we are serious in
making the computer gift to Sly and including as many people as
possible!!! We could have done this by ourselves, then had the
thought, why not make it a FAN FAMILY AFFAIR!!! That is, fans can
participate in the giving of a gift to Sly!!! And we have AWESOME
perks too!!!
For those who may have concerns about incoming revenue, please
google "Why Sly Stone still can't collect royalties from his
classic songs" which is an LA Times news article. For us, Mr.
Stone's personal finances are just that, personal and none of our
business. The size or lack thereof of someone's wallet/purse is not a
determinant in generosity of
spirit.

We do these events strictly and only for love of the band and

are fans that are blessed to have been able to provide these avenues
and Mr. Stone has chosen to work with us. We are just fans. Thank you.
Q&A
1. Are you truly able to ship directly to Mr. Sly
Stone?
Yes, we are. As the producers of the LOVE CITY
Convention we, of course, coordinated
transportation
and airfare. So the answer is yes.
2.
Can't Sly afford this on his own?
For us, this is about
giving gifts. Our generosity of spirit
is not determined by
the size or lack thereof of someone's
wallet. The personal
finances of Mr. Stone are exactly that,
personal!
3.
Are the pictures owned by you?
Yes, the pictures displayed
are our ownership as they
are from the Love City
Convention.
4. What happens if there are monies leftover?
The $3000 is inclusive of taxes and shipping costs.
If
there are any dollars left, they will also be gifted to
Mr.
Stone. A Western Union distribution will be made.
5. What
happens if the goal is not met?
Bottom line? Mr. Stone will
be receiving a gift of an upgraded iMac
equipment AND the
specific software and speakers noted!
