Title: Neil Gaiman's "The Price" - maybe a movie, if you donate and help out?
Post by: Quemaqua on Thursday, November 18, 2010, 05:59:53 PM

One of the coolest things ever (http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2010/11/price-of-price.html).

I love this.  Watch the whole video, it's really cool.  I'm a huge Gaiman fan, and even more so in recent months, so I heartily encourage everyone to lend this guy a hand.  I'll be donating a few hundred shortly.  It's already at 44% and could well see the light of day!  If you've got a few bucks and you love Gaiman or that story in particular, take advantage of anticipated extra Christmas money and donate... I think it would feel awesome to know you helped bring something into existence and then get to watch it later.

12 days to go!

That's awesome and I will definitely be donating when I get my next check.

I'm seriously considering donating way too much money to this.  I wonder how much I'll be getting from my retirement refund when I quit my job...

EDIT - I've actually emailed briefly with Christopher Salmon, he's a really cool guy.  I sort of wanted to know a little more about him before I pledged any support, and he's really a genuine and nice guy.

Also, a nice little interview (http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2010/11/interview-with-christopher-salmon/).

Bump!  Only 5 days to go, and it's at 64%!  Come on dudes, lay out some cash for something awesome!

I did.  I've been telling everyone I know that's a Gaiman fan to donate as well.  I really hope it can hit the goal.

It did indeed.  I did a little fundraising with the family for it, was pretty cool.  Heather and Julia both donated as well.  Looking forward to seeing production blogs and junk as it goes.

Can't believe I missed this.

I actually just got "Smoke and Mirrors" the other day. Been reading it like crazy when I have downtime at work.

It's a great book.  I read it years ago and just reread it again a month or so ago.
