Hey Folks:
Two things:
1) I’m goin’ on vacay and won’t be back at the keyboard until the middle of next week.
2) I’ve been machinatin’ and schemin’ over my little Rhizome project and I am happy to announce that I have a plan. I can’t totally reveal my plan, as it’ll just encourage some biter with no imagination to beat me to the punch, but I can give you a few deets, since I’m asking y’all for money:
- It will not incorporate profanity, large phalluses, or religious icons — or any combination thereof.
- I can promise that it will be in no way socially or politically redeeming.
- I think it’s a clever idea, but I’ll let you be the judge of that…
- Everyone who gives money will be thanked, on Rhizome’s site, for contributing. (I’ll be in touch with you privately about how you want to be credited.)
- Any money raised for this venture will be turned over to Rhizome, a digital arts non-profit. I’m not gonna make a single red cent. (In fact, I feel so strongly about this ridiculosity, I’ll be investing a coupla Benjamins of my own.)
- My goal: If I can raise about $400, that would be smashing. Anything I might make beyond that will be duly invested in making my Rhizome extravaganza bigger and badder.
- My aim is to get this sucker up by the end of April, when I return from my much-needed eat-a-thon/vacation.
To the many folks who have already donated, THANK YOU! YOU ROCK HARD. To those who haven’t, I’d like you to consider doing so. All I’m asking is for a buck or two. (Five if you have a full-time job with benefits. Ten if you’re an art dealer.) It’ll cost you less than a frappuccino and it’ll keep me out of trouble (or out of your hair). At least for now…
You can make your donation through my earlier post, via PayPal.
xox,
C.
You nearly lost me with bullet point #1, but you had me again at bullet point #deux.
what’s the deadline on this thing?
no deadline… but my hope is to get something up by 4/25 or 4/26… if money comes in after that date, i’ll just use it to add to the piece…
