Why dont you just open up a venmo account for BCN?

Haha that is open now and ready for donations!

One of the major goals we have is to be 100% transparent through the build if we are doing this with other peoples money, gifts, and proceeds from merch. Not to bring it back up, but I think that was one of the major reasons TBC fans felt slighted - grey area. If people want, we can for sure use Venmo. I will track all the fund raising somewhere secret (that won’t be secret for long).

I’ve got most of my disposable income tied up in helping out this Nigerian Prince but after that I’ll be happy to pitch in!

With the Nigerian Prince this place should be funded in no time…

Do we need to ā€œsign upā€ if we’ve already received membership welcome letter?

Don’t want to miss any announcements

If you received an email from Someguysbackyard@gmail.com that is titled ā€œBCN New Member Welcomeā€, you are all set and ready to go.

Have a thought on the merch as we’re looking into something like this for our non-profit organization. One of our board members suggested an online store similar to something like this: Squadlocker.com

Lets you pick what styles you want to put in your store, they will customize it your logo, you tell them how much you want to make per piece (10%, 15%) and they set it all up. I see some benefits as it is free to set up, means you don’t have to have an inventory to track, and you don’t have to wait for bulk orders. People can just get it when they want it.

I signed up yesterday but don’t think I got an email

Shoot. I was wondering why it said no one opened it. I will try again this evening. Check your spam if not.

sounds good. Nothing in spam, highly possible i had a typo when entering it.

I haven’t seen anything come through either.

I’m sure it’s on its way, but I am patiently waiting for my membership letter to arrive in the mail. As Bart Scott once said, ā€œCan’t Wait!ā€

The welcome email has arrived!

Same here! I’ve been a lurker on this thread for quite a while and everything this has become just blows me away.

Tomorrow is the day people! Biggest day for SGB/BCN and will hopefully bring this whole crazy thing into focus. Be looking out for an email bright and early tomorrow AM.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but have you thought about starting a YouTube channel to post short videos of walkthroughs or recording other aspects of the project? Some behind the scenes footage would be really cool.

You are the first person to bring that up actually. We’ve though about video content and I’ve been collecting clips. Not much experience there but another medium to learn which sounds fun.

I hope tomorrow allows us to officially ā€œlaunchā€ for lack of a better word. I can tell you that you will get to see some of our written media. Once that is out there, we will start diving into other content areas.

I’ve got a DSLR that shoots 1080P, what else do I need to make a decent video?
