Our pal, writer, and Geekscape Games host Shane O’Hare loves My Little Pony. I mean loves. More than he loves, well, anything (including writing for Geekscape, his parents, flossing, the list goes on and on).
He also lives in Alaska, which is (apparently) a super boring place to live.
A few months back, Shane had this crazy idea that only an obsessed Brony could concoct: bring all of (or many of) his fellow Bronies to Alaska so that he wouldn’t feel so alone… and rationalize it all by organizing a My Little Pony themed parade.
He told us that it would be huge, and that he’d love to stream it live on GeekscapeTV so that all of our readers and listeners could be a part of the festivities. We told him that we didn’t want any part in the damned thing… But he’s trying to make it happen anyways.
So, the least that we could do is give him a few minutes of our time with a Crowdfund This piece…
I mean, just look at how desolate Alaska can be:
And look at how much Shane loves dressing like a cartoon horse:
Wouldn’t you love to see an ear-to-ear smile on that man’s face? Shane’s looking to raise a cool $40116 to cover the costs of stables, parade organization, and to catch up on a few past-due bills (these things are expensive, okay), and as the campaign is officially starting today, he’s currently sitting at 0% of his unabashed campaign goal.
Of course, as with every crowdfunding campaign, there are some sweet, sweet rewards available for backers. We’ve got Shane O’Hare t-shirts, posters, and autographs. He’ll record you a hype voicemail message if that’s what you’re looking for, and for one generous backer, he’ll even share a bed with you at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
Oh yeah, Kickstarter also declined to run Shane’s campaign, so if you’re looking to back the project (and how could you not want to at this point), you’ll want to contact Shane directly on Twitter @ShaneOhare. You can totally trust him.
