I've been looking for ideas on how to make money.
Animation is great, but if I ever tried to live off it without being an absolute professional, I'd be quickly dead.
I had a look through gap year stuff... decided to take a gap year this year, relax a bit, try and get through this tumor biz and get animating a bit more.
In the "ways to fund your gap year" section, I started reading about what people did to make money so they could travel.
A man did a parachute jump and raised £200 or so, pushing a VW Beetle for 5 miles, £250.
And another girl did this fashion show. She got models, clothes, everything, local talent or something, sold drink on the premises, made an absolute fortune.
And she gave -part- of the money to charity.
Now that's where I suddenly got a bit confused. I didn't realise you could do that.
I mean, all the charity events to raise money for causes etc... it escapes my mind that the organisers actually KEEP some of the money for themselves.
Which has inspired me ever so slightly.
What if I organised some sort of event... well not on my own, obviously, I'd kill myself that way too.
But to raise money for Cancer Research, and at the same time allow myself to raise a bit of cash so I can see about travelling abroad, buying myself a car, funding animations, etc..?
It sounds almost too good to be true.
It's a dream. And I think, perhaps, if there's something that's been trying to be taught to me by all this illness I seem to gather, it's that dreams are there to be followed, because to be honest, we haven't really got time to waste.
It's a thought. The First Annual Fantastic Tortoise Music Festival. Held near Cambridge. Invite local bands to play, so it's good publicity for them, can pay them to play if they desire.. charge people per head, maybe get a drinks license so we could sell drink about the place..?
If the effort was made, if every little detail was covered, it could be amazing. Competitions, music, entertainment, raising money for charity, and solving my problem of what to do with my life.
I think I may be insane enough to pull this off.
Who knows. I've got nothing better to do. Perhaps it'll make the world a better place.
Summer next year. Let's see if I can get it organised.

Go for it. Most definitely.
Great idea, the opportunity is there to be taken.
Fantastic man, yeah, go for it.
You can only try man, you can only try.

Right, plan of action:
1) Get on the road to recovery, health wise. Problem is at the moment, is that I have no set dates, so I have to wait around to be phoned, etc. It's a bit of a pain. So when I have dates, I can organise myself a bit more.
2) Get a VW Camper van. This is quite essential.
3) Then start organising, location I already have an idea for, get bands in the know, see who I can get, after all, it's a charity event. :)
But need to get a little less trapped by doctors appointments first. I just need dates, Goddamnit

If you need help with anything, let me know - I know of at least one band who may be available to play without wanting too much in return. You know my address, right?
Probably not now actually, had a bit of a rehaul..
Um, well, [email protected] is my good one now, so if you could just email something to that, then I'll reply when I get some ideas of what's going on, ta.

Go for it. Oppurtunities are there to be taken, and ideas are given to those who have the passion to do something about it. You am one of those people.
Go go, super Daz!

Even better, Doctor Monkey could reform to rock the masses!

I'll play air guitar if you want.
But only if I can have a pirate or bubble t shirt.
Rock on!
