    Inaugural Membership - Early Bird

    The new gawker is entirely user funded. There will be no ads or paywalls so this is the core offering that will fund the site. Membership will give you the ability to be a citizen on the site—you can create a profile page, comment, save posts, and get access to meet ups/events before anyone else. But mainly this award fills you with a lingering sense that you're helping fund journalism that has impact.
