Tour Info

This is where I find out if I am an artist.

I only take the back-roads when I'm on my motorcycle.

I hide out on the rooftops of Boylston Streets and Newberry.

What I used to do for work.  In this box, 4kw of Solar Power.

I use my Iphone Maps Feature to find hidden spots to camp out.

When I get there, I park the bike and set up camp.

After I set up Camp, I can chill on a big log and write a blog.

If it rains, I pull over and park somewhere dry until it passes.

I live in the trees high above your heads.

    • Get Kickstarter Invitation.
  • Summer:

That brings us to our current stage in the process.  Index transparency!!!

Phase One [current]:  Promotion.

• July.  Design flyer, tune up motorcycle, get wires for projector, find rainproof gear, get on CouchSurfing.Com, plan trip through New England, research local bookstores, prepare to launch.
• August.  Travel New England's best vacation spots, while not on vacation.  Actually busy at work promoting new product, "The Analog Flipbook" (a remarkable paper design based on a computer).  Meet lots of new people, spread the flyers to interested parties, and try not to check the Kickstarter status too frequently.  
• September:  Continue the tour into NYC.  Spend time in different districts, showing the flipbook mainly at night to people via the video projector method that I invented back in July (special wires).  Also plan coffeeshop performances, as well as other engagements, perhaps with radio stations that might be interested, and bookstores who think that the product could sell.  

Phase Two.  

"Phase Two" is in the event that Flipbook Island gets the pre-order requirement to publish.

October 5.

• Make an announcement to all participants indicating that the fundraising was a success.
• Verify all mailing addresses in this announcement ("Is this your correct address?")
• Prepare the flipbook for publication, via Phoenix Press in New Haven CT. 
• Possibly launch another pre-order proposal to people interested in learning more.
