In the “truth is stranger than fiction” category, my CU Boulder bathroom donation (well – the gift I gave to CU Boulder that resulted in me getting to name a bathroom) made the TV news tonight in Boston on Fox 25. There’s apparently a new bathroom news cycle because of William Falik’s gift to Harvard Law School for the Falik Men’s Room at Harvard Law School. While my bathroom at CU Boulder doesn’t have the same elegant name (it’s known as RRM 209 in the ATLAS Building, or the Feld Mens Bathroom on Foursquare), I’ve got a better quote: ”“The Best Ideas Often Come At Inconvenient Times – Don’t Ever Close Your Mind To Them.”

The two minute news clip, along with a Skype interview I did this afternoon, follows. MIT – my offer is still open – don’t flush it.

These articles are fantastic, The information you show us is interesting for everybody and is really good written, very informative. It’s just nice! continue posting. Thanks!

The fact that MIT has rejected your offer shows that MIT has at least a minimal level of taste and discretion. Plus, you are not offering that much money. If you were offering $10 million, I suspect MIT would do pretty much anything.

  I didn’t offer a specific amount to MIT – it was open ended. My only request was that I wanted to name a bathroom.
  
  Re: “taste and discretion” – I encourage you to spend a day taking yourself a little less seriously and see how it feels.

    hahahahaha. ….open ended

    Even if the Defense department is building it, how much can a bathroom cost? $100,000? Why would MIT endure $10 million of negative publicity (imagine the fun that Jay Leno would have with this) for a measly $100,000? MIT’s management has a brain, CU’s does not.
    
    And giving money for a bathroom is a bad investment from your point of view. CU is going to have bathrooms whether you give them money or not. The number of bathrooms has not increased because you gave them money. If you are going to give money to CU, why not for something they don’t have and are not likely to acquire? That way, your money actually makes a difference.

      It is an unrestricted gift so they can use the money for whatever they want.

This is hilarious. When I quit my full-time job to pursue Closet Groupie, I had to take a few temp jobs at hedge funds to pay rent. I was shocked that men took newspapers to the bathroom with zero embarrassment at work! I shared my findings with a few friends and apparently this was pretty common. I came from the fashion industry so had never seen it before.

You should but up a quote in the stalls that says “Think outside the stall”. Maybe it will spark students’ imagination and help reinvent the toilet for the billions of people in the world that need it. From one toilet to the next. :)

Think about how many times people go to the restroom (#1 every 2-3 hours?). I say that’s a pretty good bang for the buck in terms of brand impressions per dollar. I’d like to sit on a “Feld Throne” in my school someday.

i laughed more at the text in is post than i have all week.
maybe even south park worthy

So where does the plaque go? How about as you are sitting on the toilet, there is a computer screen connected to the Internet, but the browser is set so you can only read feld.com and FG’s website? That would make the money you give them a business expense you can deduct.

Ugh. A Feld Mens Bathroom! To have to see this day!

Does it have to be a bathroom? Im curious about what other things you would support?
- http://www.feld.com bfeld
  
  I support many different things philanthropically. I just have a particular fetish for sponsoring academic bathrooms.

Classic Feldian response – I especially like the ‘do your best thinking’ line. Fabulous!
Alex

Glad you’re not down in the dumps, so to say, about your MIT rejection

Prof Falik wins with the gentleman’s lounge. You should sponsor a stairwell in the English Department.
