  • 31 Questions: Crowdfunding Endgame

    And now we enter endgame…

    With 4 days left of the 31 Questions crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, we’ve raised the unbelievable amount of $1,692!

    We’ve already long since surpassed our original goal of $1,000. But can we now get to $2,000? It’s up to YOU.

    Here are some tasty morsels that might convince you to contribute…

    Want to impress your friends and family with your knowledge of answers? Do it via this convenient “Moderator Mug”, while also questioning whether they too are aware of the answer that you yourself claim to know. Featuring a drinkable TV’s Anthony McCormack in his signature pointing pose, this mug will make a welcome addition to your cupboard or dishwasher. Available now for $31. All proceeds go towards production of Season 2 of 31 Questions!

    And the next 8 lucky fans who donate $10 to the show on Indiegogo won’t just receive a personally autographed headshot of benevolent host David M. Green, you’ll also receive an ORIGINAL SEASON ONE QUESTION CARD (featuring actual printed questions, hand-written notes AND last minute gags)! As used during the taping of Episodes 12 & 13, 17 May 2012. Think of how much these are going to be worth once David M. Green has moved on to better things and/or died! Strictly limited to the next 8 crowdfunders.
    We’ve now received contributions ranging from $2 to $100 from 65 individuals in 4 countries. Check out this map of their approximate locations:

    How cool is that!?!?

    We’re already using this money to pay for tapes, printing, hard drives, set materials, electronic components for the new buzzers, postage, “fabulous” prizes, parking, costumes and all matter of miscellaneous things needed to make some sort of television show.

    It’s very touching knowing there’s so much love out there for this scruffy underdog of a game show. I had an exchange of Facebook messages over the weekend from a gentleman in Chicago, who informs me his whole family has been enjoying Season 1 on YouTube.

    And what put the biggest smile on my face was finding out his 7-year-old son has been repeatedly quoting the punchline “Just my colon”, as delivered by Sophie Loughran in Episode 4, and “dying laughing”. Evidently, American children are better educated on punctuation than their Aussie counterparts. I don’t think I learned what a colon was (either definition) until I was twice that age.

    This might be good karma for all the times I myself have quoted The Blues Brothers, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, National Lampoon’s Vacation and any other motion picture set in The Windy City.

    Keep those donations coming in. They’re making a big difference. I’ll leave you with some more Season 1 outtakes, highlighting a few community TV problems. Hopefully we’ll avoid them in Season 2. But somehow, I doubt it…

    No sir, Mayor Daley doesn’t dine here any more. He’s dead sir.

  • Life of DMG – Ep 3 – Door

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxUo2Af6goI

    Here’s the much less anticipated follow-up episode to the follow-up episode of Life of DMG – Moments from the life of David M. Green.

    Episode 3 builds on the “swinging” theme firmly established in the second episode.

    Enjoy.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    3 and a half years, I had those shoes.

  • Life of DMG – Ep 2 – Swinger

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t21Xpaqlq7Y

    Here’s the much anticipated follow-up episode to the debut episode of Life of DMG – Moments from the life of David M. Green.

    As you can see, by episode 2 we’re already getting into the swing of things.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    This is the life.

  • Life of DMG – Ep 1 – Moth

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aScSVxSvIFM

    As if I didn’t have enough webseries already… here’s the first episode of my latest one!

    Life of DMG – Moments from the life of David M. Green.

    In episode 1, I demonstrate how to take care of moths. And when I say “take care of”, I of course mean “destroy”.

    Please enjoy.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    What a life.

  • I’ve got 31 Questions for New Zealand

    Hello New Zealand (and the rest of you)!

    As of 8.31PM this evening New Zealand time, 31 Questions became an internationally broadcast TV game show!

    Season 1 is now airing Thursdays 8.30PM on Face TV, which is available everywhere in New Zealand on Sky Channel 089 AND on the old “Triangle TV” free-to-air frequencies in these respected parts of Auckland:

    • Waiatarua UHF 41 or 631.25 MHz
    • Remuera UHF 52 or 719.25 MHz
    • Pine Hill UHF 42 or 639.25 MH

    Meanwhile, our crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo has now raised $1,105 for Season 2- That’s 10% over our goal! Of course, we do need a little more money than that to shoot the whole second season. But the first thousand bucks is certainly a big load off my mind.

    Thank YOU so much.

    We’ve still got 3 weeks left on the campaign and we’ve still got plenty of mugs and headshots to give away.

    But if you haven’t donated yet, there’s still time for you to become just like THESE crazed fans (shown here in order of least to most crazy):

    Yeeeeaaaaahhhh…

    Sweet dreams.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    She’s RUINED a perfectly good headshot!?!
