A thread: (1) This has been the wildest ride I've been on. Last Friday and throughout the weekend, I had resigned myself to an ever-deepening despair about my financial solvency. It was others who told me to Do. Something. About. It.
(2) Me, I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what that something would be, not ever having found myself in this situation.
(3) Then the suggestions. Some maybe unrealistic, but others with concrete steps and a faith they'd have their desired results. Me, I had little faith, but I took it on theirs and got to work.
(4) First, that YouTube video. I just had no idea. My Patreon account is now just a couple hundred bucks from my target number that, if sustained, will sustain me. I would have been seen as delusional had I even imagined that just four days before.
(5) Then the GoFundMe account. In the three full days it's been up, it's now shy just $760 of _its_ target goal. The smaller donations just as crucial as the larger ones, but I must share this comment from one contributor:
(6) "Hello top donors. I'm just a fan, but I'm adding my donation because you are on this list. Great to see so many cast, crew, and comics here. Thank you, Donz, for your good work."
(7) Those cast, crew, and comics set this in motion with their early contributions. As I posted yesterday, seeing their names -- and then what they offered -- just took my breath away.
(8) Most of their names are posted publicly in the GoFundMe site, and I don't want to further their exposure here. And those donating anonymously absolutely not. But they know who they are
(9) Now the task of individually thanking all of the contributors. It took three full days and nights to finally catch up with the Patreon folks.
(10) Now I have my work cut out for me with the GoFundMe crowd, some of whom donated to both (which I think is illegal in some zip codes). It's something I need/want to do. I owe all of them -- and you -- at least that.
(11) And then, after all this has settled, I'll finally have the focus to begin preliminary work on the Alan Kalter retrospective, a project I figure will take months. Maybe this is my way of earning what so many have done for me.
(13) And, just like that, GoFundMe has gone over the top. I don’t know what to say.
