Pick posted:The frog logo will become more and more abstract until it's just a "GO" with a single, looming eye. We need an old goon to sit on the bench across the street smacking his lips going "yup, I remember a time. Remember a time when it was a frog. You kids these days, you don't know about the frog. That was before your time. Yup, you kids are in such a hurry now. What are you all in such a hurry for?"

Bad Munki posted:Any goons in his general area with some photography skills? Or even just a proper camera? Because, I mean, y'know... There was an entire GWS thread about food photography a year ago. But I really doubt the guy has archives. The big points were trying not to use flash, using a neutral background setting, lighting (again with flash throwing stuff off) and trying to use plain plates that are either food colors or white. He's also taking them really high up. But I have no idea how to say any of this politely. You don't have to have a great camera or anything to take okay pictures of hot dogs.  I bet he could pull that off. Picture quality might not be as clear, but I bet he could get close. E: I should say those are the main things I remember, anyway.

In for $25. Internet donations are going to make me poor. I've already given $100 to various dogs in need this week. This is a worthy goal though.

In for $25. The kicker for me was finding out that his pictures were of his family's dinner that night. I dunno, for some reason, that was incredibly touching. Onward and upward! Frogdogs hurrah.

I am proud to be in the OP. For tracking of donations I'd tossed in 25 myself. This is really where kickstarter shines. Not in funding movies for long cancelled shows, but for helping out someone with a dream and a plan get that final push. Even if Doobie's fails in the long run, it is a donation I won't regret.

Godspeed hot dog man, godspeed Yeah, in like 24 hours he's gotten over half his requested funding. At this point, I think it's no longer a question of whether he'll make it, but rather how many times the money he asked for will he actually get?

Well honestly, I really hope he does get over 6k. 6k is NOT much for what he wants to do, I'd definitely like to see him get a little more.

If we're trying to keep track, I put in ten dollars so far, and might up my pledge to 25 depending on whether I can work things out financially.

I think it's time to get organized. Google doc spreadsheet in the OP for pledges and Team Frogout Roster. We need to get the names down on for whoever will be willing to make menu templates, logos, photographs, etc. Hell we could even get a Team Frogout t-shirt together or start a fund for a celebration basket for Mr. Robinson with champagne and best wishes to be sent out upon funding.

Also, I think we should probably bring up the fact that the Get Out frog we're trying to get painted on the side of a religious man's rural town hot dog shop comes from a porn video. Just putting that out there.
