Belize 2012 Festival… with a twist!
If you haven’t come across KickStarter yet, the concept is simple – people pledge $$ towards a project. If it reaches its funding goal, the project goes ahead, they take your money, and you get a predetermined gift or product. Sometimes it works amazingly well. I’ve actually helped fund movies and books, in return for a copy and sometimes my name in the credits – it’s a rewarding feeling.
I can’t see this one taking off, but make up your own mind:
- $412 per person for a Dec 21 celebration 3-day festival in Belize
- After the festival, everyone owns a share of the 54-acres of waterfront property
i propose three days of festival – december 20th 21st and 22nd. on 54 acres of incredible land. global music. artists. performers. speakers. filmmakers. comedians. bonfires and laughter under the moon. ceremony at cerros maya temple site.
and here is the best part. after the festival you will own this land. always.
The chap behind it is a friend of prominent 2012er Daniel Pinchbeck. And the problem I have is that nothing is concrete. Not a single performer mentioned. If he is capable of putting a festival together, I’d expect that some acts would already be booked, subject to the festival proceeding. It all sounds too idealistic and not much else. But I’d love to see it happen, of course.
UPDATE – the Kickstarter campaign has been suspended – no reason provided. Looks like it won’t be going ahead unless they find alternate funding.
