KANSAS CITY DIGITAL BEGGING STAYS WINNING!!! LOOKS LIKE THEY'LL MAKE IT: SAVE THE TIVOLI PROGRESS REPORT!!!
In the current digital media and high-speed gigabit internets era . . . There's a lot of talk about Kansas City's entrepreneurial spirit and "silicon prairie" opportunity.
However . . .
IT TURNS OUT THAT SIMPLY BEGGING FOR MONEY ONLINE IS THE BEST WAY TO TURN AN INTERNETS PROFIT IN KANSAS CITY!!!
Note to self . . .
I gotta get a donate button . . .
In the meantime . . .
CONGRATS TO TIVOLI WESTPORT CINEMA KICKSTARTER THAT SEEMS TO BE COMING CLOSE TO THEIR DIGITAL FUNDRAISING GOAL!!!
Progress report so far:
1,157
Backers
$118,445
pledged of $130,000 goal
16
days to go
That's a great deal of support for movies that mostly go unseen. Still, the digital charity effort is impressive and reminds us that Kansas City Internets denizens are rather generous when they're not typing something racist, violently sexual or just plain nasty.
More in a bit . . .
Good for them, this is a great cause!
ReplyDeleteThere's gotta be a way to combine that $1 Million taxpayer dollar weatherization giveaway from Cleaver and saving the Tivoli.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the Tivoli could show instructional videos on weather stripping and caulking to program participants in exchange for the balance of their financial goal.
Restores my faith people actually give a shit about something other than Facebook and Twitter.
ReplyDeleteHipsters won't let Tivoli die.
ReplyDeleteLets see. lets give a guy interest free over 100k for his business so he can stay in business and continue to charge you big time to see his movies showing. Sounds like whole lot of smart people who have lots of money to just give away out there.
ReplyDelete5:10 did you read the campaign details? people funding this are not donors - they will get various benefits depending on how much they give.
ReplyDeleteFree popcorn!
ReplyDeleteYes well 7:46 they don't get fucking close to what they give.
ReplyDeleteThe real winner is Jerry Harrington who will laugh all the way to the bank at all you idiots willing to part with your cash for nothing in return.
Receive a special edition, hand silkscreened Tivoli t-shirt (available only through our Kickstarter campaign). You'll also receive the Concession Combo: a handy punch card good for 2 popcorns and 2 soft drinks. Plus you will be publicly thanked on the Tivoli's new digital marquee in our lobby.
ReplyDeleteWow for $50 I get a 6 dollar t-shirt along with 4 dollars worth of pop and popcorn, best bargain for a fucking out of your money in Kansas City. Might as well go over on Troost and get robbed least then you "might" see the person doing the robbing go to jail.
My business model involves failing spectacularly and then asking folks to bail me out.
