Slog - Comments on Have a Small Beer for Obama http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/have_a_small_beer_for_obama Small Beer Press, which is a small publisher I happen to adore, is donating 20% of the money they raise from an online sale to the Obama campaign. Small Beer puts out really great stuff, including books by Kelly Link and Carol Emshwiller (author of the very great The Mount, which I wrote about here.) They range from McSweeney's-ish fiction to science fiction to fantasy to horror and back again. Be sure to give a look at their website....

Obama will probably turn their money down.

We ran the sale from October 2nd and donated just under $700. We'll donate any further moneys to Obama if we can, if not, we can either return the donation part of the money, or donate it on to something else. As with Obama, we'll take the high road whatever our options are.

I donated the money to the campaign and don't think it was illegal as I am donating as an individual. If it's illegal to donate, I will write a personal check.

Cheers,

Gavin Grant
