We have more than cleared our goal of 500 before the new Year! You guys so totally rock! This is awesome and exciting!

This makes it official. the Fan Support is there, now to pull in the sponsorship and support to make sure the show has the production value worthy of the material, and that our artists, performers and craftsman can be fairly compensated for their craft, energy and skill!!! We will also be putting together the money to make sure the folks over at Time Science Blood Club can make sure the original creators see their share!

We'll be working hard on that the next couple months before we start Auditions and casting!

Thank you again for your continued support... AND of course if you or anyone you know have a business, or organization that would like to sponsor, advertise, invest or become involved in the production in some way, please contact us!

Email to:
Andy@ChinesePirateProductions.com or
ChinesePirate@hotmail.com

We'll send you information about sponsoring or investing in the show...

Excited!!
Heres to a NEW YEAR!!!
:D

Happy Holidays from "Me and Mine..."

just a little greeting from Chinese Pirate Productions...

May nothing "damage your calm" (ala Jayne) and may "Someone else's loss [be your] chocolatey goodness!" (ala Xander)

and as for the show... we're at around 410 followers on facebook, and around 90 surveys. It seems very likely that between any additional fans we pick up in the next week, and the many fans who are excited but not necessarily FB users, we will have more than reached our goal of 500 supporters...

so with that, I think its safe to say we're pushing ahead with this!!!

thank you all for your continued support. With the new year, we will start generating funds from sponsors, investors and corporate backing (a couple of you have already sent in some support money, and for that I thankyou!) and if you have any leads, ideas or would like to sponsor, or invest in the show yourself or on behalf of your business, please send an email our way!

As soon as we can we'll open up official presales for tickets, announce auditions, and offer some tidbits about the show and our creative team...


...and with the new year... lets all hope that comic con reg finally stops crashing!
;)


from "me and mine..." Have a safe and happy holidays...

200 Strong!!! Now an offer for you!

Yesterday we hit 200 followers on facebook. Quite a landmark indeed! Thanks to all of you for supporting us in our attempt to create a Live Stage show based on DR HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG!

In honor of this, I'd like to offer you a special offer and opportunity ensure our success.

The first step in making this show a reality is getting permission from the original creators. This is a contract and Licensing fee which will amount to just under $5000. So, THIS is our first fund-raising goal!

With this in mind, and in honor of our first 200 members, I will make this offer.

Tickets to our preview performances on July 15th and 16th will go to the first 200 people to contribute $20 to us via rocket-hub. We will also offer tickets to Wednesday's July 20th performance for folks who make $22 contributions.
(Link for Rocket Hub at end of this message)

This will be lower than any conventional ticket price for the show!

This will only work, however, if the total number of contributions hits our target of $5000 within the next 70 days.

If we don't hit $5000, your money will be refunded. If we do hit $5000, you've gotten a considerable discount, secured your tickets for the show, and officially set us in motion to make the show a reality.

So if you want in on this, head to
http://www.rockethub.com/projects/469-dr-horrible-live-sd-comic-con-2011

And make your contribution today!
thanks!
Andy

Hey true believers!

We are just about one third of the way from our our target of 500
members who want to see a LIVE STAGE version of DR HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG
BLOG in SAN DIEGO during COMIC CON 2011!

Thats 155 people in one month! We have three more months to make our
target! Once again, this show will only happen if we can prove to
sponsors that we have the numbers to sell tickets!

SO! Tell your friends! Post us to your blogs, and and share us on your fan
sites!

There are Whedonites, Browncoats, Buffy Fans, Guildies, NPH faithful,
and "Fillion Fiends" out there who don't yet know that we're trying to
do this! So please pass the word!

EXCELSIOR!
