I have never wanted to do a book trailer before - talking author heads simply don't interest me. But for this book, I think we're going to do one in the style of bad 1950s horror/sci-fi movies - that tickles me and my editor, Marshall Harvey loves the idea, so we'll give it a go.
Also, gonna have to do another Indiegogo campaign, I'm afraid, this one for the LACC LA show. I was originally told by the LACC Foundation that it wouldn't be a problem for them to fund the band and sound costs. But that changed and now they're not going to, so we have to raise that money, about 12K. It's slightly problematic in terms of the perks, because we can't have perks that act as tickets to see the show, because the department absolutely has to sell those seats - it's the only way they make money. We will do a CD, so there's that, and I think for the pricey donations of 1K or maybe a bit more, we can offer a dinner with me, Bruce Vilanch and Richard Sherman - my guess is that one or two people would go for that. Also, we can make people producers for the higher perks and they can have thank yous in the program, etc. But if anyone has any ideas for the lower money perks, other than CDs, please let me know. We can obviously do posters, that's easy, but I'm not doing t-shirts or mugs. So, let me know your suggestions. Since our endgame is to try and get the city to fund a sit-down production as a tourist thing, some of the lower perks can be for seats to that IF it should happen. I will of course put this on all the LA Facebook pages, but we've got to give folks an incentive.
