Month: March 2013

On this beloved day, I figured I would share with you some of my favourite memories of Carrie.  We miss you a lot and I know you are loving Germany, but it will be great when we get to see you again.

First up…FUBAR…my life was changed when you introduced me to this movie on a Saturday morning at Bayshore:

Let us not forget Fubar 2, which I have never actually watched with Carrie, but we all know is fantastic:

My love of Carrie knows no bounds, and I would have to say that Barcelona was the highlight of the Eurotrip.  Especially after a long day of biking:

But the Italians made up for it:

HOPE Volleyball is always a blast when Carrie brings out a billion of her friends to the event.  Here she is running away from them:

And let us not forget the Series:

She is also fantastic in the way that she allows me to be part of her family:

On this, your birthday, I want to say that you brighten all our lives and I hope the following video brightens yours.  Happy Birthday Carrie.

Years ago there was this quirky show called Veronica Mars about at father-daughter sleuth duo.  It was a fantastic series which ended after three seasons.

For the past six years there has been talks of a movie but nothing really happened.  Until yesterday…

Now, you already know my love of Kickstarter.  I think it’s a smart way to do business.  Why bother printing up a million copies of a book when there are only 20,000 people who want it?  Why not just print the 20,000 you need and not blow your wad of cash?

Anyhow, yesterday the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter started here.  They wanted $2M to get the movie made.  This is the largest Kickstater campaign for a movie…I sat there thinking “Man…that’s a lot of money to ask for, but how cool would it be if they got it?”

Within 24 hours, they got their goal and are hovering around $2.5M as I type this.  This is insane.  They must be ecstatic.  Heck, I’m ecstatic!  I love Kickstarter.  Bring out an idea that people want, and people will pay for it.

My only beef is that all the rewards for this particular campaign is limited to people in the US, but I figured after Day 1, they’ll figure out how to appease the masses outside that country.

My only worry is that they fall into the trap of “Oh my.  This campaign became larger than I thought and I don’t know how to mail out 50,000 DVDs.”  It’s happened before.  I’m sure there’s a term for it like the Kickstarter Effect, or Burn Out.

Either way, I’m pumped that the movie is going to happen and they’ll get some money from me once they are kind to the Canadians!
