Pickin’ Parties and Flash Mobs
So, last week we had two different events celebrating the Carters and their musical legacy. All to help us finish our Kickstarter campaign successfully (We only have 17 days left!).
The most recent of the two events was a great party at ADX, a partner of The Winding Stream project, and home to a great community of builders and makers in the Pacific Northwest. It also turned out to be a great place to have a pickin’ party, screenings of film clips and music from our friends in the killer 'boom-chucka' band Counterfeit Cash. The Widmer Brothers generously provided beer and Hot Lips Pizza served up some tasty pies for us.
But the focus of the evening was the premiere screening of a video we’d made the previous weekend down at Portland’s Saturday Market.
The Debut of the Carter Family Flash Mob Video
Yes, you read that right. Carter Family and Flash Mob in the same sentence.
Forty-five of our musical friends had gathered at the Skidmore Fountain to regale the crowd (seemingly spontaneously) with a rousing version of the Carter’s Will The Circle Be Unbroken. We filmed the gathering and have it posted on Youtube and Vimeo, and you can view it here now!
We hope you’ll spread this around. It helps raise awareness about our fundraising efforts via Kickstarter.
As of this writing we are at 41% of our Kickstarter goal. We have 17 days to go.
Statistics show that to be successful, we need to reach the halfway mark of our campaign by this Thursday. That means we need to raise $4200 by June 14! Can you help?
Kickstarter is crowdfunding! No one person has to bear the load. A few thousand $10 donations can help us reach our goal.
But the catch is, it’s all or nothing. When people pledge to a Kickstarter campaign, no one’s credit card is charged until the goal is reached. If the goal is not reached, no money is collected.
That makes it exciting. And causes a few more gray hairs to crop up.
Will we make it?
With your help, we can.
2900 people donating $10 each will get us all the way to the finish line!
The Winding Stream Kickstarter
If you’ve given already you have our deepest thanks. Please share the video and the Kickstarter link with anyone you know who cares about music and history and film.
Thanks!
