Keep on keeping on!

What a difference a week makes!

This time last week I had no idea about the Far reunion, now we’re $449.79 closer to the goal. That’s right; we’re sitting at 17% and about a day off hitting AUD $500!!! I am truly amazed at the progress we have made in less than a week and the sort of comments this is generating.

The negative comments seem to have died off for now, but I found it fascinating to see an uplift in contributions & overall support at the same time. It seemed as though the community mobilised to offset the negativity. Appreciated guys really.. This is only meant to be a bit of fun!

There’s a stack of you who have donated who aren’t on Facebook, and even more on Facebook who haven’t! What’s going on people?!

Onto this week’s contributions, but first let me single out Matty A, for his enormously generous pledge of $200. The man is a superstar! If Kyuss ever reform I will personally lead the campaign to send him on his way!!

Pat D - $0.69
Mark C - $15
Anon - $20
Matt A - $200
Rob L - $10
Google - $2.77

You’ll notice that I’ve also put Google AdSense on the site, which in the last day, has delivered $2.77! Who would have thought?! I think I might start to use Facebook purely as a traffic driver. At least i can monetise on here! Ahhaha

To address the recent comments on my previous post:

Matty A – I am all over Kyuss for you! You just need to word up the Big Ranga because it doesn’t sound like he’s too keen:

The offers come in all the time. They're getting more and more expensive, and more and more elaborate. The money is crazy, but I've never been tempted – I don't really care about the money, I never have. That's not what KYUSS was about, so to punctuate the end of our sentence with that would be blasphemy. KYUSS fans are so fuckin' rad, they're fuckin' badass — but to me, reunions are just not necessary. It's not what it was, it's what it is, and KYUSS was a really magical thing — and if you weren't there, well, you weren't. That's just the luck of the draw. I don't feel the urge to do it for somebody who didn't have the opportunity to see us, or just didn't take the opportunity to see us. I'll let other bands alter their great legacies. KYUSS has such a great history that it would be a total error. I like that nobody saw KYUSS, and that it was largely misunderstood. That sounds like a legend forming to me. I'm too proud of it to rub my dick on it. –Josh Homme, May 2007

Shadow-Enigma – I hope they play more than 2 shows too, but the chances of a tour this way would be slim. Thanks so much for the encouragement, good to have a fellow fan on board!

Matt C – The mission statement can change. We’re all still creating something out of nothing! What did you have in mind? I don’t know what to do with myself this weekend without the footy!! Two games to go!

Please continue to spread the word. Good or bad, the more people on board the better!

Out.
