How it works
A couple of the (astoundingly awesome) electro freaks from T61 are based in Vancouver, where I was sinfully not playing shows. The conversation went something like this:
“Dude, just play shows in Vancouver already okay?
“Hah, sure! Fly me over and I will!
“FINE! WE WILL.
... woah. Wait. Really. Let's actually do that.
So they did.
(In fact, more cash got contributed than necessary for just the plane tickets!)
We did some maths and figured it...
- Plane ticket from Melbourne to Seattle = about $1500CAD
- Petrol for share cars, busses = about $400CAD
- Pack of strings I break for the dude who lends me their guitar = $20CAD
- Promo material (all DIY, of course) = about $150CAD
- Miscellaneous expenses (minor gear hire, cabs, cocaine, strippers, etc) = $100CAD
Which is about $2200. If 50 people pitch in $35CAD, we can fund this shit ourselves.
And now once again with feeling:
We can fund this shit ourselves.
Jon told Jacob, who told Nicole, who told her friends...
A few months later we had cobbled together a few thousand dollars
I donated cash from every single Bankai mp3 sale made at T61 towards the cause.
Profit Sharing
- Once all the tour is done, we will be total up any profit we make from the tour...
- Shareholders will get their cut of the profit, relative to how much the contributed
USB Stick Awesome
- As a thank you to the amazing people making this happen, I'm arranging for 5 hand made USB sticks full of Bankai goodies.
- Hand-painted, unique, with unreleased Bankai mp3s, wavs, stems, video footage and midi data.
- The 5 shareholders who pitch in the most will get one.
