Yesterday, I waxed lyrical about how happy I was that the Kickstarter had crested the thousand dollar mark.
I got up this morning and eagerly checked again to see if it had increased. It had, by one dollar.
You might expect me to be disappointed, but I'm really not. One person wasn't worried about receiving a book, but still wanted to support Phil's idea for Arts In Entertainment. I think that's great.
Here's hoping there are 5,346 like-minded individuals out there.
If you would be interested in contributing between $1 and $5,346 to Arts In Entertainment, please check out the Kickstarter link here.

I went to sleep (it's this thing I do) and when I awoke the Kickstarter was over a thousand dollars. Five more days like that and we're done. Anyone who pledges at least $10 gets an ebook, at least $15 gets a physical book with pages and a warning about paper cuts and no money changes hands unless we hit our target:

Arts In Entertainment Kickstarter Kickstarted
The Arts In Entertainment Kickstarter has launched.
Don't just take my word for it, take Noiseless Chatter's.
No money changes hands until after the Kickstarter closes in thirty days time and only if the funding goal is met. Anyone who coughs up $10 (about £6.50) or more gets a book and my gratitude. So it's more like a pre-order than mere fundraising. Have a look at the link and see if any of the other subjects tickle your fancy as well...

Arts In Entertainment
Phil Reed of Noiseless Chatter fame has announced that he is publishing a series of books of arts criticism with a difference. He's called them Arts In Entertainment.
He's asked me to take part and I'm delighted to be contributing a book about the Pulp album This Is Hardcore, the impact it had on me and my surprise at how it failed to change the world.
It's not just me and it's not just Pulp, Zachary Kaplan will be writing about Synecdoche, New York, Catie Osborn's book concerns Titus Andronicus, Nathan Rabin is writing about I'm Still Here, Matt Sainsbury tells us all about Hatsune Miku and Phil himself is writing a book about Mystery Science Theater 3000.
There are more details to come, but in the meantime you can find out more about Arts In Entertainment here.
