A couple weeks before the start of my summer vacation, I was filled with a sense of dread over the idea of committing myself to another summer in what is considered by many to be "corporate america." I had worked a couple of jobs each summer for the last couple of years and to be honest, I hated it. I totally understand that no one ever likes work, but I just saw it as a way of conceding my entire life to a mindset I don't totally agree with. We shouldn't be forced into jobs we don't like to make ends meet.
I then looked forward at my life and realized that this is pretty much my last summer where I could have any possible chance at total freedom and I really wanted to get a chance to dive head first into the world of online media. I wanted to broadcast hours each week on Justin.tv, much like I had done through my time with friends during the Four48 project.
So after some discussions, I was able to convince my parents to let me broadcast from the basement instead of getting a real job. The kicker, I needed to make a couple thousand dollars to pay for books next year, car insurance, and for part of my room and board next fall.
So I have come up with the following plan: while broadcasting about 10-20 hours a week, I plan on giving postcards which will be mailed out to anyone willing to donate more than $1.00. Using white index cards, I will totally customize each card for any individual looking to get a part of this project I am calling social art. Not only will each mailing be unique, but it will also be limited in number. Each card will be numbered and only a maximum of 1337 will be sold this summer (I'm a nerd, so I had to choose a nerd number, right?)
By clicking the link below, you will receive in the mail a postcard with a picture, story about what I think about you, some random fact, or whatever else you ask for really. You'll be supporting my quest to prove that anyone can be successful with an idea and a little hard work while also gaining a neat little souvenir as icing on the cake. All while watching me and enjoying a summer of gaming, humor, and fun.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me at Cameron@CameronBanga.com and I will get back to your e-mail as soon as possible.
Click here to donate through PayPal and receive a postcard from Cameron.
(Note: Any donation less that $1.00 US will be considered a donation of goodwill and will not receive a postcard due to postage/supply costs exceeding the donation.)
PayPal is the preferred method of payment, however if you absolutely can not pay for a card through PayPal, send me an e-mail and we'll see what we can work out.
Thank you very much for purchasing a post card from me! I really appreciate your support in my quest to successfully support myself by broadcasting my entire summer.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to send me a quick e-mail at Cameron@CameronBanga.com. I would love to hear from you!
If you have a friend code for Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros, or any other game you would like to trade, just send me an e-mail with it and I will be sure to send you mine back!
Thanks again and I hope you continue to tune into my broadcasts.
