Cyberspace » First US Show Fundraiser

Hey BinärPeople!

The Støver's are headed to Washington State this year for a real American Christmas with me and my family! While we're there, I want the biggest Christmas present of all... Binärpilot to play a show in my hometown. In the same theater I first acted in!

We're expecting a good turn out, and still waiting to hear back on people, but I need to cover the bases to make sure that I'm not losing money in this process.

If you donate you're covering costs to rent out the theater, have people sell tickets, have posters made for hype, and have merchandise be sold at the theater as well.

If you are planning to come to the show, we're going to work out that if you donate you'll either get a discount on ticket costs, or a discount on merchandise.

If you cannot come, I still urge you to donate to support Binärpilot's first US show. It is not only a giant dream of mine, but could be the first show of many in the States if it goes well. We'll never know unless we get this going.

Just as a disclaimer Binärpilot himself is not affiliated with this fundraiser, or the Nordland music video fundraiser, this is all me... (He has promised to spam it for me though) So please instead of using the usual donations@binaerpilot.info use donations@rachaelivy.com

Also, THANK YOU and if you have any questions you for any reason don't want posted here please let me know via rachael@binaerpilot.no
Will the show be recorded ? For us poor europeans ?
I can arrange that I think!
Were you thinking a live stream or just video? Because I can definitely have someone doing video.
video! us poor americans need binaer too!
Just video would be awesome
Live video would be paradise
Depending on the time, of course
i just checked. washington is only 4 states away from missouri! do i hear a raod trip?! no, no i don't
i prefer awesome, because paradise could be interrupted by a bathroom break
Uh, are you thinking of Washington DC? I'm talking about the actual State of Washington ;)
Alright, Rachael, what is your goal for this fundraiser? I'm sure even a few dollars per fan would significantly raise the fund-tank levels.

And you know there'd be a lot of fans that would donate beyond a few dollars ;P
We do a minimum donation of $5 dollars and are hoping to get 100 donations by December 22nd :D

Good question, btw!

What's the tally so far, or is it too early to show numbers?
I'm still waiting to hear from the Conway Muse about doing a show there, then I'll have more info/numbers on the fundraiser, if it's even needed. (Obviously refunds will be made if it's not ;p)

But yeah, I've called and emailed now and heard nothing. Calling again/emailing again next week and will keep everyone here and on FB posted accordingly.

I know the owner well (it's the Valley ffs) so I'm not worried about her not getting back to me/not wanting to do a show, just heard from lots of sources she's kinda flaky ;)

Is there any chance of an update on how things are going with this? Who're you guys paying to be that guy who dances weird and points alot towards stage (me)? I'd like to review his resume, of course.
Update to come next week, I promise promise promise!

Also, koew, we're holding auditions first week of December. I'll send some headshots your way to review as well as the resume.

So seriously no contact from any of the venues. Alex Kramer, I'm sending you on a manhunt this week I think. Prepared to make some phone calls? ;) I'll pay you in Norwegian chocolate.
Well, then I guess you'll have to come to Montreal instead...
=D
...or OSLO! I'll pay in Norwegian beer.

Then again, I'm a firm believer that everyone needs to taste Norwegian chocolate. It's fucking epic.
koew, this is true.
