A lot has happen since CORe. Was either too busy, lazy or blogger was down so I couldn’t update. Will update one day, said the queen of procrastination. But currently in pain, tummy ache. I will spare you from details but SO NOT FUN! Wanted to put up this email, I just got today. It’s about a former classmate of mines. Really nice guy. Kristina’s the best. This girl never lacks creativity. Read below.

Hello Friends!

So ok, the change is not for me. But I am writing to request a dime or two
for great reason!

Some of you know that I recently got a small fellowship from Visual
Communications to shoot my first short documentary. The intended subject is
my friend Larry who recently graduated from UCLA but finds himself in the
unfortunate position of having no car and being 40k in debt from loans,
credit cards and basically not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Believe me, he's not like the woman from savekaryn.com who got into debt
from buying too many Prada bags. The debt combined with lack of car creates
a slippery slope for Larry who can't really go after too many dreams when he
needs to survive day-to-day.

For a few months I chronicled Larry selling things on Ebay to work himself
out of this debt and overcome the "machine" that was keeping him down,
but well, it just hasn't been all that interesting, and he's only made about
$400 for pawning off his childhood memories. A small drop in a massively
big bucket.

So Larry had this idea that he would outrun a bus. A bus is the slow
burdening unreliable metaphor of a machine that Larry's existence has been
so depressingly dependent on. He wants to outrun it to prove that he's
tougher than his situation and can beat his odds. So we are staging a
"BEAT THE BUS" race so Larry can prove to himself and the world that victory is
not impossible.

You can read all about this race at http://www.helpsavelarry.com
For me, it's a real human story of one man's will to fight for his humanity.
And it will be the crux of the documentary. I want Larry to succeed. We've
already gotten attention from a local community newspaper, the Rafu, who
will do some coverage on the event.

On the site you can sponsor Larry and leave him a message to promote your
own site, events, group, whatever. A great chance for cheap advertising.
Starting at 1 cent!

Larry will also do the race wearing a shirt with all the names of his
sponsors on it. Sort of like how Indy Race cards are covered in logos. The
bigger the sponsorship amount, the bigger your name appears on his shirt!
Like a moving billboard!

Donations can be as low as one penny and as high as the moon, so I hope you
will support Larry as he fights for humankind.

Thanks for your support!
