The first post was running a little long, so I thought I would break thing up a little bit before talking about the fund raising campaign for Theater Hopper: Year Three.
You guys are kicking all kinds of ass with the pledges lately. Thank you so much! On Friday, we were 52% funded. Now we’re 62% funded! We making big gains, but we only have 17 days left to make goal.
Let me put this out there for you… Next week – Monday, December 21 – is my 32nd birthday. It would be a real treat if we could raise $324 by then. With that amount, we’d be up to $2,500 pledged and that would put us $1,000 away from goal with 10 days left in the campaign.
Extrapolate that… $1,000 with 10 days to go means that if we raised $100 a day after that, we’d be funded!
It’s all about the little things. Measurable goals, milestones. If we can take the next step now, we can take a few more steps after that!
Think about it! Let’s try to bump the campaign up to $2,500 in the next 7 days. We only need $324 to do it!
Thanks again to everyone who has pledged so far. I appreciate your support!

Was reading your Twitter war with Scott Kurtz. Can’t wait to read your opinion on this later this week.
P.S. Pledged $45 already. The avatars are tempting, but I don’t have $150 to just sort of spend like that (still unemployed and still have rent to pay).

Interesting ustream conversation – but so much navel gazing! I’m not sure I see the problem with Kickstarter since I’m getting an excellent book for my pledge.

I don’t know if I’m going to address it or not, Kevin. I think if you listen to the uStream, Kurtz’s arguments against Kickstarter kind of unravel. Plus, to recap the entire conflict would take more time and energy than I care to spend.
My main conflict with Kurtz is that he wields influence. When he runs off at the mouth without all the facts, then his characterization jeopardizes sincere fund raising efforts.
It pretty much boiled down to semantics anyway. Kurtz thinks a “pledge” is the same thing as a “donation” – when it’s not. You get nothing for your donation. You get a reward for your pledge.
