So yesterday as I was pimping my new collection<\/a> I heard about a really cool new project from some friends of mine. They’re using Kickstarter<\/a> to get funding for a project. I’m intrigued by Kickstarter in that I’ve seen it work for a novel in progress<\/a> by my buddy Johnny<\/a>. Anyway, this Kickstarter thing is pretty cool but what’s cooler is that it provides a framework for people to do things like this:<\/p>\n

The new face of Canadian Science Fiction!<\/a><\/p>\n

You have to check out their video and premise. You can hit their Kickstarter page<\/a> and follow them on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to lie. I love science fiction and I have a bit of a crush on Canada. Growing up in Ohio and having lived in Minnesota means spending some time with our neighbors to the north and their quirks. But that’s not what I’m talking about here. What I’m talking about is the chance to help a project with a lot of promise get off the ground. I’ve known two of these folks for a long, long time and even collaborated with Duff on a project or two. He provides lyrics for Jason and me on a semi-regular basis and we turn them into tunes<\/a>. These are good writers with a lot of drive. I’d be quite excited if I could get a<\/strike> the couple of people who read this blog to click on over and at least check out the project. It’s good stuff! Even if you can’t toss ’em a couple of bones you can always retweet their stuff or pass on a link, right?<\/p>\n

It’s nice to know people who are taking risks and, better yet, putting some muscle behind their passion. Thus endeth the promotion.<\/p>\n

By the by, is there some new law that says that every time I talk about something cool on my blog I have to say that I’m not getting paid for it? Screw that! People know better than to think I get paid for anything on this site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
