Surprise!

Check this out, then come back here.

Back?

Yeah. Yeeeeeeeeeah. We're doing this. Think LOTR, but bigger, in every dimension. Holden, iJim, Zarban, and Kyle Mattingly already have tickets to fly out and participate. We tried to get Vayda, but he hates our guts now or something. (Not really.) And if you forum people wanna fly out to Los Angeles, ain't nobody stoppin' ya.

Anyway, the plan is that we're gonna try to really get the word out there for this one, hence the fancy intro-video and web page and all that, so as to actually make that $10,000 number for the Against Malaria folks. Any and all help getting the word out, mentioning it on podcasts, corralling interviews for us to do about it, blog articles, etc., would be super helpful.

But as much as anything, if you've been meaning to throw a couple bucks in the Paypal account, now would be a really good time for that. We're not officially asking the whole world for money, we really are doing all the fundraise-y stuff for charity, not us at all. But internally, for the existing community folks, the situation is a little "oh god, this is gonna be pricey." We're still paying off trademarks and really need a few equipment replacements, and that sort of thing.

So, just for a month or so, and just from the folks on the forum who are already fans of the show and in the community... we're not just sayin, we're askin.' Don't go to heroic measures or anything, but if you can spare a few bucks, that'd be much appreciated.

We'll also end up needing more specific helpy-help on our internal teams for various stuff, like, actual "we're making an organized effort to get this thing out there, and could really use some more hands on deck" stuff, and if you wanna be involved in that when it comes up, lemme know and I'll include you in the conversations with that particular team once the time comes. (Stuff like publicity, outreach, etc.. Maybe even graphics work on the livestream and site during the event.)

Anyway. So.

Yeah, right? This is gonna be fun.
