Hi everyone. So I'm posting this here with permission from Sourdough Stomper.
Thanks for checking on that for me by the way!
A friend of mine and his family are trying to raise some money for a pilot tv show called "Travels with Rich". My friend's dad used to work with Will Vinton and now has his own company called Aberle Films.
Doug Aberle (my friend's dad) did animation for things like the California Raisins and if you ever saw the movie "Return to Oz" with Faruza Baulk, he animated the death of the gnome king. (I hope that doesn't count as a spoiler. It came out way back in the 80's....)
So now he wants to do a travel show that is about places real people can afford to go. Cause there are lots of shows that take people to exotic locations that few can afford to visit and many aren't exactly handicap or stroller accessible places either. This show would be going to places that elderly and family on a budget could go and still feel wowed! Places all over the USA. By taking one road from start to finish.
They are using a website called Kickstarter. How it works is they only get the money they are looking for if they can raise all of it by the deadline. All of it. If they are even a dollar short, they get no money at all. All the money is given back to the backers.
Right now they have less than 14 days left and their goal is $22,000. Sadly they only have 7 backers right now (me one of them) and only $315 dollars.
So what I am doing is making an offer to everyone who backs this for $50 or more will get a custom pony from me if they reach their goal. If they don't reach their goal, no pony, but everyone gets their money back so no harm, no foul.
Also there are a lot of other thank you gifts as well. So please take a look at the page.

I'm not sure what it is yet. it may just be a post card or something. But whatever I come up with you,ll get some sort of acknowledgement.
So yes- If you help me and my friends get this pilot funded with a gift of $50 or more and we make our goal- Custom pony for you. Any custom pony. Even a big one. Cause I love my friends, I support small local businesses, and I really want to see this made into a tv show!
So thank you in advance for your support. And again, thank you SDS for letting me know if this is ok or not. You're the best!
Here is a photo of me with Rich.
