COOL!  If you can be the boss of George, you win IMO, and I will take back everything I said.

not the boss of George, but the master of my domain.

Of course after George "Hangs up" on muddy, the trip home, listening to George rant should be pretty funny if George even lets muddy record at that point.  Just sayin.

that's part of the deal...I will not stop recording / streaming.  its just as much a safety mechanism for me as it is content to be honest.

I still think he needs a drone.

truth. what type of permit do I need in CA to fly an old Phantom 2 Vision?

the only problem is limited theater of operation. not useful in car, or inside the con.

Quote from: brig on September 14, 2017, 09:29:59 PM
No not at all.  I like my donation there so that it can remind George who his fans are.

As for your broadcasting skills, I thought you were awesome on the SpecSheet.  Nobody is awesome at everything for everybody muddy.

ok, fair enough! wanted to be transparent. 

I dont want anyone to say I am awesome at everything, because then I know they are lying!

Let it run, they called in for a reason and weren't finished.

We're talking aboutl Falkie here,  If Mud King thinks he did the correct thing on that Gabcast, what hope is there of him just allowing Falkie to be Falkie this time?


This isn't a question of good vs evil, just an exploration of what a host feels comfortable with, his temperment, how he deals with certain situations bound to come up, etc.  Every host is going to be different, so people funding this should have an idea what to expect.  They know what to expect from Falkie, perhaps not from Mud King.  Claiming he knows when to keep the video going ''in the eye of the storm, all the time'' is open to interpretation at best.

funny thing as I read what we are saying.  its not that we are opposite poles, we are saying the same things in a lot of ways. its just a matter of taste and comedy sense.  I don't want to waste my time trying to argue that what I find funny is better than what you do.  We both are bellgabbers so we share that and a good argument in common.  If we interpret shit differently then fuck it, I'll buy you a drink if we meet at the bar so we can argue it out.

Quote from: brig on September 14, 2017, 09:25:37 PM
When it comes to Senda muddy, I think it's the shitstorms that the sewergabbers enjoy.  The rest is just stuff we have to watch so that we don't miss a shitstorm, or a rant, or a funny gif moment.

100% correct so when I say 'eye of the storm' I literally mean I will be there with George as he does George-type things.  I am not going to reign him in (that's not what he wants or anyone else) I am going to keep filming. whatever happens is the record.

Quote from: brig on September 14, 2017, 09:14:24 PM
Why not try giving us some pre Alien-Con preview live shows on youtube or UFO ship, whatever muddy, to show us you can really bring out the George that we know and love as Sewergabbers?   It's just a suggestion.

you don't need me to create pre-hype drama...this thread, the new circle, George himself take care of that. besides if after all these years you have no faith in my broadcasting I don't see why you would waste your time watching me 'prove myself'.

if you feel your donation was in error as I run the account instead of George, pm me. I am sure GoFundMe has a way to rescind the donation /friendship

Quote from: PB the Deplorable on September 14, 2017, 09:12:34 PM
Well ok, I was really hoping to hear some version of you learning what not to do in the future from that. 

How does the above comment square with your post about ''in the eye of the storm I will know when (all the damn time) to be rolling video, and what levers to pull to keep George interested and the viewers?  Hint:  it doesn't.

oh hell...seriously you consider that call with Redacted and bateman "eye of the storm".  have you ever...seriously...ever considered the reason why they would call into a show with the group of people that were hosting?  if they were looking for a shitstorm I think you are smart enough to know who they would have wanted in the seat.  and since we are going to take things out of context...that is the exact f'ing reason why I am EXACTLY the person on this board that makes sense to be the guy in the passenger seat.  really I gotta spell it out for you: comfort.

Quote from: brig on September 14, 2017, 09:00:34 PM
I have to agree that muddy has a reputation for being very soft on George, like he's a giant 2 year old baby or something. That's a very nice quality that muddy has, but I don't think it brings out Georges entertaining qualities.

I will always support you brig, never doubt that.

Quote from: PB the Deplorable on September 14, 2017, 08:58:18 PM
Well, we have evidence that you don't do that.

When Redacted called the Gabcast and wanted to get everything off her chest with Bateman, you couldn't shut that down fast enough.  How do we know you wouldn't do the same with this?

I didnt shut it down I wanted to hear a debate and get as much on the table as we could. talking points and emotions weren't going to do that. I like the effort though so I give you a point on my score card for strong offense after the bell.

Quote from: GravitySucks on September 14, 2017, 07:52:15 PM
You really need a drone. And not an A51Drone, although that might be humorous.

I'll leave that for future gofundme /joke

Forgot to mention some of the tech I will bring to bear on this project.

Cameras:

Canon T5i for video and photography
GoPro with helmet mount and car mount rig for the trip
iPhone 7 Plus for periscope and video recording
iPad Air for periscope comment management
Galaxy S5 for periscope and backup video angles
LED lighting for onsite spots

I will have two Verizon unlimited hotspots to cover the live car streaming.

Full battery backup system with reserve power for device charging

George is talking about donations that are sent directly to him. We agreed that he would still direct anyone he wanted to his normal donation process. If he gets himself funded then we will drop Track One in general and Fund track two. If he goes that way of course he has issues because he will have to manage his finances to cover a hotel room / food / etc. instead of me booking everything.

The money donated through gofundme are earmarked only for the AlienCon trip with any remaining money spent on the trip to produce videos.

I'll repeat as WhiteCrow has said, I will be the only person withdrawing money from the generous donations sent.

Brig, thank you very much for your donation it's a foundation some really great content will be made on! 

For those worried I can't handle myself, managing chaos is what I do.  It's correct to say I don't create chaos but in the eye of the storm I will know when (all the damn time) to be rolling video, and what levers to pull to keep George interested and the viewers.

Quote from: PB the Deplorable on September 14, 2017, 06:38:37 PM
I'm not seeing anything in there for hats, t-shirts, coffee mugs, refrigerator magnets, books, gifts for Kathy, or other assorted souvenirs.  That's at least another couple of bills.  Are you really going to deny Falkie the things that make him happy, while fulfilling your dreams?

It's funny you mention this as it was brought to my attention independently. Look for an amended accounting with several items that were missed in my oversight. There was an error in the meal allowance for me. I copied the line from track one and didn't edit the amounts. Look for it to be fixed at the same time.


If I may offer advice to anyone planning something on the scale of what we are doing.  Be sure to dot your i's and cross your t's. Success is a dangerous beast, we will handle it as a team though so it's not bigger than we are.

Quote from: GravitySucks on September 14, 2017, 12:42:36 PM
Ok. I will arrange for PB to clean Casa Senda while he is out. Anything else?

Could you get wifi passwords for every Starbucks between Martinez and Pasadena?

Thanks!

Quote from: GravitySucks on September 14, 2017, 12:31:54 PM
I think YP and LK should pack a picnic basket and pick up Falkie and the 3 of them can meet TMK in Pasadena. If they leave early enough, they could swing by the DMV and LK could pull some strings to get the big guy his license back. That way he could help with the driving.

Make this happen GS!

Quote from: SredniVashtar on September 14, 2017, 12:27:04 PM
Can you address the 80 dollars per diem question? The fat fuck already weighs the equivalent of two adult buffalos, and you are just encouraging delinquent behaviour. We also know he will snarf down your food allowance too. The public demands accountability.

Sure I can answer that.  And this my take not George: $10 for breakfast, assuming like Happier Times has said George deserves more than hotel breakfast. Same logic for lunch $25 meal with a 25% gratuity. Dinner and drinks plus mid day snacks cover the difference.  If the conference provides a hot meal or buffet that line item could change of course to reflect it.

Thank you everyone for the support on the GoFundMe page!  George is very pleased with how things are looking right out the gates. With the page views it got in the first 12 hours there is a chance it could reach featured status soon!!

To everyone that has either donated or privately pledged to I appreciate your support and kind words. I was informed this morning that we have to get tickets for the gold level before January to get the discounted pricing.

I like the idea of push goals and wish I had talked it through with the team before posting as it's a smart way to incentivize people to buy in.  Lesson learned.  Again I could use help with promo graphics and copy to update the page especially if it gets featured soon!!

second was Curtis self designation as a ''Creative''.  I thought this grossly egotistical term to describe oneself had disappeared due to ridicule?       

You are factually correct sir!

Quote from: Rally Squirrel on September 14, 2017, 02:36:04 AM
I just can not support the top tier. 50 bucks to get in is OK and the extra $50 to make sure you see the panels is a bit excessive but understandable.

Senda needs explain to me, in a video is fine, why he thinks a tote bag and party with unnamed guests is worth $450 or $900 for both, almost 20% of the goal.

Great questions, and I hope when he sees them he answers. I could care less the access level ticket I get but I do have to match his if I am recording everything.

Quote from: PB the Deplorable on September 14, 2017, 02:03:47 AM
Invalid.  If you are collecting money to fund him, and driving him there and back, he'll go.  Regardless of Bellgab, which he'll always be suspicious of regardless.

You're right, it's only a win for him since he just shows up.

Quote from: PB the Deplorable on September 14, 2017, 02:01:20 AM
I think it's something like eight hours from here to LA.  Obviously longer if stops are added.  Enough stops and side trips and it would turn into a two day drive.  I'm sure Falkie would like to stop at the Hearst Castle, for example.  Has he been to the Winchester Mystery House or the Rosi Crucian Museum, both in Sam Jose?

I'm concerned that I'm not hearing anything about Kathy or the cats, though.  What about them?

Now you've got me worried.  There may just not be enough time for the haunted side trips.  Is there a train between the two cities we could take instead? Still would live stream but in a relaxed atmosphere and the added benefit of interacting with strangers

Quote from: nooryisawesome on September 14, 2017, 01:20:28 AM
So is the money going directly to George? Because if so he will spend it, there will be an emergency. He will lose his rent check again (4th time) or something. Most likely Senda would buy a cheap car or apple products. If the money goes to Curtis or a third party it will go to us rightful place.

The money goes to me to manage and I will be handling all payments.  If we don't get enough for me to go but still buy George a ticket to the show (at any level) I will buy it and send to him and use the left over for buying cat food and kitty litter from Amazon.

Its official now!

Some things to point out; I spoke with George who is on board with this idea and even has presented some side trip ideas like exploring haunted locations along the way from Martinez to Pasadena (Great Idea!).  We also briefly discussed costs, I'm sure you will see sticker shock for the goal amount.  Its not cheap to get the type of access George wants at the AlienCon.  There is even a remote possibility of delivering a live George Noory interview (may be wishful thinking on my part) as well as both of us getting inside the Ancient Aliens party (let your imagination dwell on that SV) but at the price quoted I believe we cover all the expenses as well as leave a buffer for "Senda Luck" in case there is a problem.  If all goes well we will end with the Safeway Haul video / Abhram reunion.


I could use some help with creating supporting graphics and would really appreiate the help of fellow bellgabbers to promote this and use discretion going forward in how you would position sewergab vs Mr. Senda.  for this to work there has to be a peace before the storm.  lets create that peace then everyone can tune into the storm (AlienCon 2018 with George Senda!).

Quote from: Happier Times are Coming on September 13, 2017, 08:03:34 AM
maybe Mrs. IamNotPickleRick could be dropped off in Pittsburg and visit Sweet and Slow Kathy to hit up a buffet or steak house. ?

 

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on September 13, 2017, 08:00:24 AM
A salacious friend asked if that dodgy bloke Mudking would be 'looking after' Mrs IamNotPickleRick while you're away?

based on emails and txt message emojis IamPickleRick! has uncovered there may be truth to your friend's question.  Though it doesnt look like TMK is doing the 'looking after' but an undecipherable set of initials.  He first thought to his shock it was 'MV' but after further analysis the last letter is V but the first letter in unclear.

unrelated note: our part time fluffer SV will be unable to join us on this trip do to as his time off request says "personal matters".  too bad.

King size bed or two doubles?

is 1 double an option?

Quote from: SredniVashtar on September 13, 2017, 07:53:07 AM
I'd like to lodge, in the strongest possible terms, my deep philosophical objection to the idea of giving Senda anything. Unless it's all a plan to lure Senda into a giant wicker man, that we can thereafter set fire to, I think it's a total disgrace and I hope you all get genital warts.

you need to look at it from a different point of view my friend.  You would be senda'ing me and my special podcasting friend off to create real time video content.  I understand the fears, and you aren't wrong but if we do this as I am suggesting all money would be donated to an account I manage and all purchases will come from my wallet funded by us.  Of course I will donate too just offline to save the fees.

There is an actual deliverable in the form of content and effort.

its almost limitless in possibilities.

the best part is the volatile nature of the Sendaverse means we can set up events and 2/3rds of the time they play out in an advantageous way.
