Fundraising.

[mama_fortuna]

So, this summer my sister and the amazing Melody Mangler are putting on another burlesque musical. This one is about a beach terrorised by a hideous fish monster! So it'll be awesome.

Now. Productions cost MONEY. So last night during the board meeting in our living room, VaVa suggested Kickstarter. I'd heard of this before, because Malcolm Ingram mentioned it on SMod when he was raising funds for his last documentary.

SO. Shawna and I have been brainstorming ideas for donation prizes on AIM.
The only background you need to know is that Norm is Melody's husband. And we love Norm.

Vava was like 'we could give away cast photos and buttons for low bidders'
and then like actual costumes the more you bid?

Mandy Mauchline
that would be sorta cool
although menfolk may not vote for costumes

shawna_mauchline@mac.com
yeah that part is easy, the hard part is coming up with something interactive that makes it fun to check back in right?
like I love the webcam idea

Mandy Mauchline
yeah that's really neat
although also who would want a 24 hour stream of them?
"see the unglamourous apartments of burlesque's tops stars!"
