Fresh from the Internet to YOU… on the Internet, it’s the second episode of 31 Questions Season 3!
And if you were so kind as to chuck me a few bucks earlier in the year during our crowdfunding campaign, look out for your name in the credits đŸ˜‰
You’re the REAL Kindness Champion…
Kind regards,
David M. Green
If you enjoy the show too, well that’s just a bonus.
The 31 Questions Season 3 Crowdfunding Campaign is over! Well actually, it was over 7PM last night. I would have posted about this sooner but I only just got up. Was out pretty late last night (Racked up a huge bar tab! Just over 3 grand, from memory…). And thanks to our 69 crowdfunders across 7 countries and a favourable exchange rate, we raised an astonishing AUD$3,262!

Here’s the final arrangement of the 31 Questions Season 3 Crowdfunder Map. Welcome to the club, France, Sweden and New Zealand:

69 donations from 7 countries. Incredible.
Just for a comparison, we raised US$1,846 on our last campaign, which was something like AUD$1,700 (exchange rate wasn’t on our side). And this is where our 72 Season TWO crowdfunders were:

It really is The People’s Game Show. Having said that, there are people in Africa, South America and Asia too. Probably. You certainly wouldn’t know if by looking at these maps.
Okay! Now we got the cash…
LET’S MAKE THIS FREAKING TV GAME SHOW!
Kind regards,

Kids, don’t smoke.
With 11 days left on the 31 Questions Season 3 crowdfunding campaign, we’ve raised $1,311 from 33 fantastic people! You’re all outstanding. Thank you so much. That’s 26.22% of the way to our $5,000 goal.
Now, it might look like there’s no hope in hell we’re going to get to five grand, but I know there are at least a few fans holding out to the last minute to give a SURPRISE donation. You know what would be REALLY surprising? If you donate RIGHT NOW. I for one, sure wouldn’t be expecting it.
How else can we be expected to make quality segments like “Will It Flush?”

Or The Enigma Box?

Hey, that broken glass ain’t free. It’s not like you just find it lying in the street…
Our crowdfunder map is starting to fill up. We’ve now got donations from FIVE countries, with New Zealand recently joining the team. I think this is awesome. And I hate using the word “awesome”. That’s how much I like this map:

And many people have now received their fabulous merchandise, just like Blazenka Brysha from Mount Eliza, Victoria, who has chosen to display her mug and badges above some sort of antique casserole dish/chamber pot:
Time is running out.
Join us.
Help make 31 Questions Season 3.

Host, etc.
Yes. Yes! YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!
We’re back in the crowdfundorium that is Indiegogo to raise some legal tender for the production of our third and most likely final season of 31 Questions – coming 2014 to your local community TV station and/or Internet.
If this is your first visit to my website and you’ve never heard of 31 Questions, you’re a dull boy, Billy.
This is what it’s all about:

If you like what you see and would like to help MAKE the TV game show everyone’s listening about, go to our campaign page on Indiegogo and make a contribution. Like last time, there’s also some fabulous merchandise on offer, including badges.
Did I mention we got badges?
I’ve never seen my semen under a microscope, but I imagine it looks something like that.
We also have NEW MUGS! They’re like the badges, but with a larger concavity at the rear, perfect for holding liquids, if you know what I mean:
Like last time, we’re also keeping track of our crowdfunder locations on this planet of ours (to the nearest suburb). 3 days in and we’ve already had donations from FOUR different countries! And New Zealand isn’t even one of them!
Check out our fabulous Season 3 Crowdfunder Map as it gradually becomes infected with more and more little blue markers:

As of writing this blog entry, we’ve already raised an amazing $570! The goal this time is $5,000, so we’re already more than 10% of the way there.
Last season, we managed to raise $1,846 and that was fantastic, but it still left a large gap between that figure and the actual cost of making season 2. And this time we’re hoping to invest in a totally new set and pay some of the key crew members.
Ahh community television. It’s a low price to pay for total creative freedom.
Big thank you to all our contributors so far. I’ll post the full list of names at the end of the campaign after December 14, and of course every donor will get a special thanks in the show’s credits.
And merchandise is, if not in, then on the way to being in, the mail.
Kind regards,
David M. Green
