I don't like the idea of drawing a line and saying "You've crossed it, you are no longer underground". But I think it's a good question. I think it's more bad-ass and punk to try to do it by relying on your own means and not enriching the pockets o…

I would totally fund projects without hesitation if there was an alternative. Thing is, I probably will still back most projects by people I like on Kickstater. I just feel like the publisher quoted above has a good point. SOME people who already h…

Spraypaint: But what about the carbon footprint? (sorry, just had to be a pest)

The guy just sounds like a headache to me.

Alan, I am sorry your speaker broke. I personally wish I didn't have to break so many pairs of headphones. I get attached to them.

Look at you! You're amazing!

Retail therapy: YT pointed out that we all identified as types of consumers. I spend most of my life living in weird extremes like buying the $100 sweater made by "real" hands then getting most of my shirts from the 50 cents bin at my local thrift s…

Something sad is that if our electronic technologies lasted forever, they would feel unbelievably slow and out of sync pretty quickly. I think planned obsolescence is a hundred percent real. Even the clothes we wear are made increasingly poorly. Th…

Remember YT, you were one of the people who kept insisting that I go see an acupuncturist years ago. I kept postponing and now I am in love with it.

I totally think that is possible! I have gotten my period immediately after getting off the massage, and especially the acupuncture table repeatedly. In my case, the period was not early, but I'd be like a couple days late and cranky and bloated an…

Oh yeah... I should point out that I totally didn't read the article this whole thread seems to be about. I am not really interested or curious, I would just rather talk with you guys about it. The use of the word "hipster" at this point should be …

I feel a combination of what Frogtor and Bigmac said. Ultimately, the reason why I make stuff is because I can't help myself. Shit just comes out. Even at my darkest hours of poverty I felt compelled to take on large projects and pour my heart and …

I feel that a lot of musicians around me think they've pretty much plateaued and are concerned about it. This capitalistic music system has given us the illusion that even the most indie bands have to grow to giant beer festival levels, hundreds of …

Ughh... People have been calling it "Unknown Fest" a lot which is too bad because we don't like "fest" as a word/sound and tried to get away from it, but no. It's been tricky to make our town curious/interested about our event. With a name like "Unk…

I think that crowd funding as a concept is awesome. Even more, I think it is required, at least some of the time. It can make a community aware of what is happening under their nose and also give that community the sense that the art belongs to them…

I for one am not surprised that Kickstarter has given more money to artists than the National Endowment for the Arts in the same way I wouldn't be that surprised to hear that all book sales on Amazon over a certain period add up to an amount higher …

Do your work! It feels good! Someone I know just just finished the original version of a book they had been working on for three years. Now to finish translating it in English.

I read this thread really quickly, I might repeat some of the stuff others have already said, but I really wanted to chime in. As much as I am glad Kickstarter exists, as much as I like the fact that there is a convenient place where a "community of…

Geez Louise, I guess I just keep putting my foot in my mouth... See you later!

Andrew: -The dinner has a main dish vegan option as well as salad, vegetables and dessert. -I think you are already getting a pass anyway since you are showing a movie. I can't be on the internet for a while. Email me if you want to get your passe…

OH, LORDY! SO MANY POOP JOKES! Now it's poop and turd everything 'cause of what I said. I'M SO DUMB! Please come to our festival. It will be beautiful.

Those Canadians have their own law for everything.

Yah, SWEET.

It's that place where your girlfriend lives when you don't really have one.

I am pretty sure Turd Banjo already established that she was going to play? She'll be playing by the dumpster behind the Rock Fish Bar & Grill at 2:30 AM Saturday night. Bring chips.

Two less depressing things about Canada: -The giant student protest in Québec. Such a tricky cause to convey to other Canadians/Americans, "What, the students are pissed? But education in Québec is so cheap!" but also super inspiring. -That assho…

I say acupuncture! Sorry. I know it's not what you are looking for, but I've had such a lame time with naturopathic medicine that I now want to make everyone go to acupuncture instead. It works better. At least in my opinion. Good luck!

You guys... I don't know, shit is pretty fucked in Canada these days. A ton of de-regulation is going on, they are killing Canadian presence in the global arts scene, there is a ton of corruption in the government. We have a sneaky evangelical Prime…

Owls, you're in Turd Banjo? OMG! What have I done? Had I known! Turd Banjo, you can play! I can offer you $3000. Will that work?
