I noticed today was July 7 (7/7), which reminded me of a funny story. Apparently, 2 or 3 years ago, I was flying into Las Vegas and realized we were on Flight #777. I was shocked! I started laughing when one of nearby flight attendants politely asked what was so funny. I told her why I was laughing, and she looked at me dumbfounded. I tried to explain, Vegas… Flight 777… then realized she wasn’t going to get it. So I turned to explain this to the person sitting next to me. Again, absolutely no response. Not even an, “I get it, but it’s just not funny”. Maybe this was only funny to me? So when I landed I got into a taxi and what was on the radio? “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk. This was a sign from the gods that it was my weekend to Get Lucky and make some serious cash in Las Vegas! But, go figure, I spent the entire weekend there and failed to gamble once. I may have missed my boat...
But speaking of getting lucky, I just hit another 7-7-7 on my ol' KickStarter slot machine!
Chris Mann (@IamChrisMann) saw my KickStarter page and is now a passenger on the Thank You Kung-Fu train! Chris came into the spotlight as a fourth place finisher on NBC's The Voice (2012). Since then he’s been growing in popularity, releasing CDs and DVDs over the past few years. But his star is still on the rise as he is currently playing the Phantom in the US Tour of Phantom of the Opera! WOW!
So, in order to help me reach my financial goal, Chris has generously offered me:
- His signed album, "Roads", named #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart (featuring a duet with Christina Aguilera), and a signed Playbill for the "Phantom of the Opera" - $75
- His signed LIVE Concert event on CD/DVD including a duet with Martina McBride and Mindi Abair - $50
- His signed Christmas CD/DVD (featuring a duet with Martina McBride) - $50
These amazing and personally signed gifts have just been added to my Kickstarter page. I’ve tried to include speakers, authors, artists, but just realized I was missing Broadway! And what better addition than the current Phantom of the Opera! All I Ask Of You is to take advantage of this amazing opportunity and Think Of Me! My campaign is just shy of $12,000, so let's forget this Masquerade and keep spreading the word! If we do, we'll get this campaign Past the Point of No Return!
