Bud Caddell wants to write a book and he needs us to help fund it. After checking out his Kickstar page I decided to pitch in.
He's asked those who donated so say why, so why did I do it?
I was going to put a bunch of baloney here but what the heck, it is Friday so I might as well be honest:
I did for myself.
Bud's a smart dude, and his book is going to be smart. If I can get myself associated with it and him, then it can only make me look smart. Bud made it that if you donate 25 you become an Official Sponsor with your name & URL included in the text. Yes, that's me buying a ticket to ride his coat tails as if it was Space Mountain.
Secondly, Bud's a smart dude. For better or worse, I'm in this game for the long haul. Not to be a sniveling money grubbing careerist, but to get myself in a position where I can do meaningful advertising. Work that gives people utility or entertainment, and all that jazz. So maybe down the road Bud remembers the-guy-who-gave-25 bucks-just-to-help-himself when he's on top of the world.
A little silly - no, actually very silly - but what the heck.
No matter what I still get a copy of a book most likely more interesting than Oh My God What Happened And What Should I Do (not that those guys don't have nice gigs).
