 * Schwag - MaxSpevack
 * "We received a response from Brandfuel our CoolStuff Store vendor,
 * basically their response to the international shipping costs was
 * 'we know it's high, we feel your pain, but there's nothing we can do'
 * so this makes Jack's event kit initiative even more important"
 * Project Reports
 * FreeMedia Report - ThomasChung
 * For Month of June, we fulfilled 97 out of 102 free media requests.
 * Many thanks to contributors including RyanCloke and KarlieRobinson.
