Daniel and Kyle: The Campaign For California
Dear friends and group members,
Thank you for signing onto our cause.
As
most of you know, Daniel Gerber and myself have planned an episodic
trippage to the motherland of California. This is not only going to be
a once in a lifetime event, it will also be the time of our lives -
with YOUR help.
Our plan is to leave April 30 and return hence
May 5. We have enough cash to get out there and back, but we hope not
to have to merely survive off of mooched hippie food and stolen
surfboards while we are out there. We have thus today launched our
first campaign of sorts, together, to humbly and honestly request your
gracious support and endorsement.
Your kind "one click"
contribution of $1 will be the difference between 5 days of begging and
scrounging in Cali and the freedom to have the time of our lives. Just
this once guys, please. Simple directions below will direct you to
exactly how to donate your small, yet to us priceless, gift. Don't be a
hater please. We will still love you forever even if we are rejected,
but hey - nothing wrong with making it a little easier for us. AND,
there are THINGS IN IT FOR YOU. You will be personally thanked in a
special way, mentioned on the video, blog, group, profile...the whole
shot. Again, see below for those details.
Truly, we simply
cannot let you know how utterly grateful we are for your unwavering
support of your two friends. It is our hope that in the past Daniel and
I have set a decent example of generosity and thoughtfulness to you,
and we can only ask that you might show us the same grace. Thank you in
advance for not failing us.
Peace, love, and California happiness forever,
Kyle and Daniel
-----------------
TOP 10 REASONS to support Kyle and Daniel's venture to California:
[THE "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?" PART]
10. Everyone has a dollar to spare and we REFUSE to accept anything over $1. We are asking for nothing unrealistic.
9. Jesus will love and bless you more for your kindness. Period.
8.
Imagine what kind of souvenir we could bring back if you all gave us
$1. Think of the possibilities. And it will all be thanks to YOU.
7.
There are beaches and palm trees and sun and mountains and HIPPIES in
Cali. Here there is nothing. Since we have realized this, if we don't
get to go, we will be depressed and scarred for life.
6. We will witness in San Fransisco for you.
5. We've been married and separated 2 times. =/ We need some time to work on a clean slate. Bonding time is good.
4. They don't call Cali the land of fruits and nuts for nothin'.
3.
We PROMISE you daily blog [below] a fantastically creative video
documentary of the time of our lives that we are sure to have [caveat:
with your help]. This video will have NAMED RECOGNITION for supporters.
A dollar goes a long way here guys.
2. The "funness factor" of our trip can only be made possible with your support.
...1. Are we not worth $1 to you?! =D

THEME SONG:
"California" Hawk Nelson
I'm not falling for anymore of these tricks, I'm so tired of everything here, The sun is calling me to the west, Everyone's having fun out there, My bags are packed as I'm looking out the window, Everything is so outdated here, I wanna move west where the sun is shining, I want my friends to all be there,
Let's pack up and move to California, She's got lots of friends out there, We'll never get bored cause we can go boardin', Let's let the sunshine take us there,
I'm tired of taking it slow, So tired but I'm not sleeping, I'm wired about to pick up my board, Cause we're all headed out for the weekend,
Let's pack up and move to California, Hop on board before we get older, Raise your hand and shout for California
Come on, Come on, Come on...
Let's pack up and move to California, She's got lots of friends out there, We'll never get bored cause we can go boardin', Let's let the sunshine take us there,
Come on, Come on, Come on...
Let's pack up and move to California, Hop on board before we get older, Raise your hands we're headed for the border,
Come on, Come on, Come on...
[I'm thinking we will perform this one live for the video. ;)]
