Threadhead Records Update/Monday, June 23

[chrisjoseph]

Fundraising is officially closed for Shamarr Allen, The Nightcrawlers and The Marc Stone Band. For those of you who have pledged checks and haven't sent them in, please do so asap. When all is said and done, we will be at around 18K for Shamarr, 5K for Marc Stone Band and about 11k for the Nightcrawlers. All the goals we set have been eclipsed...

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool that the goals were reached and two thumbs up for Chris for taking on all the organizing and anybody else that might have helped him with this...

But Chris, your new avatar is creeping me out a bit....

Fantastic...... Chris can someone with writting skills do a press release I can send to the local papers and our radio station?

Maybe ask Sal if we can plagerise his article.

Otherwise, check back with me in a few hours... I do my best work sloshed!

[NYMAMA]

Wow....we rock!
I'll second that

[chrisjoseph]

I can post the $$ received spreadsheets by person for each project...however, I'm not sure if some would want me to disclose that info. What's the opinion on that?

[ozzie]

I'm not fussed, but what would be the reason to do so?

[chrisjoseph]

only to show that the level of support (the number of people) is AMAZING.

[funkkjunkie]

Just a number of people involved in the projects would be cool.

[swag]

You could post just the number of donors for each project, the amounts of the biggest & smallest donations, and the total number of donors overall. With no names, that shows the scope of the support yet still protects privacy for any who might want it.

[chrisjoseph]

I like that approach.

[chrisjoseph]

Marc Stone Band project:

Goal was $4,000
Total raised to date: $4,050
More expected: about $1,000

Total donors: 25
Contributions ranged from $50 to $500

[ozzie]

I do too. We are advocating that folk can send as little as five bucks and it might be detrimental to the cause if amounts and names are published. Not that I think it's anything to be alarmed about... a bunch of five bucks adds up to a whole lot and should be celebrated.

[Corona]

Oh yeah.....and the Threadheads are amazing. We did it and more music is getting made!!! Shamarr is so excited :) :)

[chrisjoseph]

The Nightcrawlers/Craig Klein:

Goal was $10,000
Total raised to date: $9,850
More expected: about $1,000

We're going to do a presentation to Shamarr at this Friday's show here in Los Angeles...but that is top secret! He doesn't read the chat board, does he?

Ran into Shamarr at WWOZ. Says "he knows." Said "what, do they think I dont get on there and read the posts?" HE brought it up. He was handing out his birthday invite postcards. Got a stack and helped hand out to local shops. Bar tender at Bubba Gumps like the list playing and said she'd be there. Hehehe. Shamarr,honey, will send you the video clip of your spotted cat jam wed nt. Wish I'd be able to come back down sooner for your bday.
I KNOW I will be missing out on a good time.

He'll be too busy 'rehearsing' between now and then... BWAHAHA!

[DenverDestinDarlin']

Yes, he will read this, esp. a thread about him! He feeds off the
energy and motivation everyone on here gives him. He loves the
support, so why wouldn't he read it? Congrats Shamarr! Real pleasure
meeting you, several times, and glad I got to see you jam. You made
my trip! Video on its way to your site. :-X

If Shamarr reads this board (he's got all that extra time on his hands, you know?), I'll be a monkey's uncle. ;)

good point Jenn...I don't really see it....that dude is swamped. If he does check it out....it would be very very rarely...
