reason #382 why our fans are the most supreme!!!
for those of you that haven’t been following me on twitter (@imongraycation), it’ll be news to you that i’ve completed the first draft of my new play, The Dying Words of Edison Strange. it’s a great breath of accomplishment, of course, but too, a breach of re-entrance to the motherboard of real life - back to mundane activities that went undone for the past three months, like the enjoyment of reading (new SGP book club pick, soon!!!), dusting the cobwebs away, shaving (i had fostered quite the beard), finally watching the OKGO video for “this too shall pass” that everyone’s gone gaga over, and the return to being a blogosaurus rex.
so. for today, i wanted to take the time to answer a query we have received quite the gaggle of emails over. the question many of you have posed to us is if we would accept money from you individually toward our fundraising for Pedestrian. we’ve probably received a hundred of these lionhearted messages, and each time they fill us with a great light of gratitude in that we have such a generous and supportive street team. but. the answer to that query is unfortunately, no. the predominant reason for us not being able to accept your monies is legal. quite simply, it would be breaking the law for us to do so. in the time since we have begun growing our company, we’ve been made aware of a couple foreign independent film projects that have been able to use such methods to reach production, but the key word there is foreign. our country’s laws differ greatly from the laws of all the other countries around the world, and there is no loophole in the way of film production. if we were a not-for-profit company seeking to produce solely documentaries, it might be a different story, but such is not the case. we seek to entertain! in the relationship that we have developed with you all on our website, there is no doubt that it would be stunning to see all your names in the credits of Pedestrian, it just doesn’t lie in the cards.
but fear not, there is much confidence brewing in the SGP three that Pedestrian is in the cards for this summer!!!
so while you can’t give us any money (though maybe i’ll set up my own personal Paypal account...), how you can continue supporting us is by doing exactly what you’ve all been doing all along. keep visiting us on the site, keep sharing your words with us, head over to filmbaby.com and buy the true-love tale of Boyfriend & Girlfriend if you haven’t already, and take a look at our merch for sale. speaking of, the first Friendship Union Community Theater tee is coming your way soon, being printed exactly as i write this now!!!

I agree with you that our fans are supreme .I am blogger and i have so may followers ,i will full credit to my fans .It is truth that i am here because of them.
Oh Mr. Nicholas Gray, Im a so happy to hear that you have finished your first draft of your play. We have been hearing bits and pieces about it in the vlogs and blogs. Now that the first part is done, its going to be very exciting to see the finished product :).
I think that its so sweet that so many people want to donate their own personal money to help out SOGPRO, including myself. I was actually thinking about that the other day. Im so excited to see that things are going very well.
Keep up the fantastic work that you guys are doing!!! I feel so lucky to be apart of this wonderful group of people!! :)

Wow, best selling research about this post. Will please let me know how much time that could take? Just because I am willing to write some thesis project or probably that would be better to determine the dissertation writing service. Thank you very much.
Hey, i just sent you guys some art via hotmail, i hope it works, i sent it to sogoprocontact@gmail.com, hope you like it :)

Yay! A blog from Nick! So happy to hear you finished another brilliant writing project. Congrats on that...and welcome back to the "real world" ;)
Hi, Nick. Congrats on your multiple developments. It seems like you people really don't waste your time. I just wanted to say that I enjoy very much hanging around this place, and to express how inspiring it is. Since I joined this community I came in touch with my lost artistic side. I'm not quite there yet, at least where I wanna get, but close.
It's quite nice to feel like we are all part of the ups and downs of all projects, thanks for sharing.
Finally, I would like to say how eager I am to buy the SOGOPRO clothing, but it seems like Argentina it's not listed as a delivery site. Is there something I can do?
Thanks and keep it up!
hi i'm Toni and new to SoGoPro and have been enjoying the website, I was thinking of making movie posters for The Dying Words of Edison Strange or the pedestrian if needed. I would like to show you all my art work abilities. And I am glad to here about a book for the book club because this would be my first book to read for SoGoPro book club and I'm excited to expand genres that I read. Thank you! tweet me or message me on facebook, if wanting to contact me about the movie posters thanks again.

Aw that's too bad about the whole money issue. But I will keep checking for updates and give feedback for the blogs, vlogs, etc.! Definitely saving my money for a FUCT t-shirt! It's gonna be the coolest item of clothing in my closet! (Besides my SoGoPro shirt). So excited for Pedestrian! Good luck with everyting that comes your way!

While it's a shame we can't unload our pocket change onto Pedestrian, it is nice to know that so many folks out there would if they could (myself included!).
I'm also psyched to hear about the Dying Words of Edison Strange- I have been following your updates on Twitter and it's really exciting! I especially loved the tweets of yours that told us what page you were on-
Seriously SGP is too cool! I love having the inside look at all the cool projects you have going on... Can't thank you enough for letting us into your creative realm.
Keep it up and best wishes on your ongoing work! We're all here waiting patiently for the next update!

thats awesome that sooo many people want to donate their own personal money to the company eventhough they really can't. WOW! Pedestrian sounds beyond amazing and i can't wait until the production process starts and if Pedestrain came out this year omg i would be beyond excited to watch it.
