For those unfamiliar with Kickstarter, think of it as a dating service for artists and creators trying to raise funds to complete projects. Since it launched in April 2009, Kickstarter has helped people raise more than $100 million from more than 1 million individual donors, funding films, design projects, artwork, music, and a broad range of other creative efforts. When we finally get around to Gheorghe: the Book, we plan to use Kickstarter to help us pay for an actual writer.
In the first installment of G:TB's Kickstart of the Week, we celebrate Aaron Torres, a slightly nervous-seeming young filmmaker from Michigan who's seeking $1,000 to help him travel around his home state and interview people about beer. Nobler efforts are hard to find in this day and age. Help the young man out, won't you?
* Week, month, whenever. Duh.
referring to danimal's last comment:
ReplyDelete1) since when do computers have nicknames?
2) why would the nickname be a lightheaded response to visceral description and blood?
and as to the kickstart of the week: what a great way to get people to pay for your alcoholism.
Noble cause but I'm going to be selfish and use what would have been my donation on my drinking and interviewing random people in MA.

ReplyDeleteMade the ever elusive 2team in one game bet. Need Mich to cover getting 3 and Mich st to win. Friendly wager.

ReplyDeleteClemson-Maryland is bringing the goods. Never thought an ACC game could be so exciting.
ReplyDeleteClemson was down 35-17 early in the third quarter, but now lead 42-38. Maryland is driving now.
Terps take the lead. Crazy game. And if anybody can tell me why Randy Edsall's face is so tan and shiny, I'll buy them a vodka and ginger beer. It looks like he's been rubbing cocoa butter on himself all night.
ReplyDeleteStop kicking to Sammy Watkins, Maryland.
ReplyDeleteClemson re-takes the lead on a kickoff return for a TD. We're not at 49-45 with 7+ minutes to go. Approaching arena football scoring range.
ReplyDeletethe teej should be covering this game. where is the teej.
ReplyDeletehave been flipping back and forth on this - everytime i do it's a f'ing commercial b/c i've just missed a touchdown. have not seen a score in this game.
