Suggestion/thought experiment for rewarding speedy season 5

[corran__horn]

Based on some assumptions:

1. The LRR crew likes monies.

2. Given incentive, they will provide me with precious DVDs (yay season 2-4 will be here soon)

3. I am more willing to part with monies when I receive items.

The conclusion:

Can we arrange a deal to order "advanced"/premium copies of season 5 for extra monies?

If a few people were willing to pay $50-75, would this be useful in clearing out time for the creation of season 5 DVDs? I really want to reward you for your dedication to comedy.

[King Kool]

Since it seems the duty of making them falls squarely on Graham's shoulders, and he's already chock full of busy, I doubt that would make much difference.

Welcome!

[Digital Dolphin]

I wouldn't wish this on them until after Desert Bus. Seriously. They have a LOT of major events happening between now and then, and I just don't think it's fair to pressure them to do all their current weekly updates, plus the awesome live events, AND an early season 5 release of their DVDs.

[Metcarfre]

To be fair, I hardly think it's an 'early' release since we were given some assurances in mid-2009 they'd be ready before 2010.

All things in good time, however.

You mean after Desert Bus '09, right? 'Cause it's been almost 2 years since the end of season 5...

I kid, I kid. All in good time.

[Tim]

This is one of the things we're going to push to have done as soon as possible. As has been said, though, there are a lot of things competing for our attention.

Trust us: we want to get them out there and reward you for giving us your money as much as or more than you want to reward us by giving us your money.

Wait, so, if you want to reward us giving you our money, and we want to reward you letting us give you our money, then WHO'S FLYING THE PLANE‽

Ok... show of hands, who just pictured a bus sitting in a plane's cockpit flying the plane?

*raises hand*

A penguin.

*sniff*

And he's been drinking!

[Dutch guy]

Nah, I am. I seem to be the only one here who HAS a flying license

[Chemistring]

It's possible you're forgetting just how busy the crew has been since the last Desert Bus. The next Desert Bus will probably just generate even more work...

[Vaughn]

If only there was an eager, plentiful source of cheap labour clustered into one place.

*Boom*

[corran__horn]

Since it seems the duty of making them falls squarely on Graham's shoulders, and he's already chock full of busy, I doubt that would make much difference.

Indeed, I am mostly wondering if the crew is approaching the tipping point where LRR could become a day job (perhaps for one or two of them) and if we could speed this along (as this would be the direction I see if they continue to be successful).

Welcome!

Thank you.

[Graham]

It actually already is a day job for Paul and I, and it's paying part time for most of the other folks. But making that money means we have to make more videos, so my busy-ness hasn't gone down.

Regardless, the commodoreHUSTLE DVD is actually next on tw release list, and it's very far along in terms of being ready. Got a couple blooper reels to finish, and building the menus etc.
It should be out before PAX Prime. I want it to be available for sale there.

[Keab42]

Full of Win.

Graham, you should consider interns. I'm sure there's some students up at Uvic who'd happily work for free for you...

[Digital Dolphin]

Probably some people in Vancouver too!

Excellent. Thanks for the update/sneak preview!

That's awesome. How would Intern for LoadingReadyRun go over on a resume?

"Well, we were going to hire you and then we checked that website you mentioned. What were you thinking? Anyone that's spent any time in the vicinity of Morgan has displayed a level of ... of ... depravity that our company cannot abide. Good day sir and may God have mercy on your soul."

My name is the amativeness, and I approve this message.

Also, bonus internetz to anyone who can Photoshop Bill inside a bus inside the cockpit of a plane.

This really needs to happen. Seriously.

Probably some people in Vancouver too!

Probably some people all over the bussing globe, too!
