The possibility of a GoFundMe campaign has been mentioned previously and I know Yevette doesn't think it would work.
The basic pitch is obvious: got sick, lost everything, blah, blah. Very sad.
Sampler: videos to show what I do
The question: will you help me do more of it.
So why should anyone do that. I'll make a video and put it on YouTube and they can see it even if they do nothing. Actually they won't as this computer doesn't have the power to do it. But that general thinking would go: why should I do anything.
The longer video shoot plan is to do it on the porch in the Spring. This has high cinematic potential as it's authentic. It really is the porch to Yevette's house. That really is some old geezer standing up to spank it one more time, maybe even a last time. And all with lasers and smoke although smoke is very difficult outside because it dissipates so fast.
Note: the lasers are powerful but will not be a problem for aircraft as all will be pointed down from above and the porch is entirely wood which will kill any bounce back. DFW is a very busy airspace so mistakes with lasers are not permitted. There's no way any wiseguy could bollix it to cause a problem as all of them are mounted hard to a rack.
So here's the premium on supporting it. Yevette is going to drop a major brick on this one. If you seriously support this, I tell you where I will do it and put you in the video. I don't mean as a musician as there's no drum kit so any serious jam is out. It will be as much of a Silas concert as I can make it.
(Ed: didn't they call this a Happening at one time?)
Apparently two of us still do.
Here's another premium: it would be easily possible to stream the audio to the Internet. Contribute at a certain level and get an invitation to listen, possibly watch (using the laptop as a camera).
Offering DVDs is pointless as opticals are obsolete. CDs are as dead as LP records but don't know it yet. Any premium has to be streamed, live presence, or some goodie the benefactor can hold in his or her hand, other than a CD or a DVD as it's got to be something they might actually want.
