Fundraising

Hi

How's it goin?

Yesterday I received this email from my class mate Sol.

Hi family, friends, lecturers, & fundraisers!  :)

As you may know I have been following my passion as my career for a number of years now. And there has been great progress. I now come to the end of my last year studying film and more so need all of your help.

I ask for your help and valuable donation, which will allow me to buy a Canon 5D camera. With everyones donation I will be able to create far better and many more of my upcoming projects in much less time. Currently all of my work has been done using college equipment. And being in my last year I'm going to need this camera to do what I do best when I finish education. From incredible shorts, music videos, photography, time-lapses and feature films. Really just this one camera can do all of what I need. And only with your help, wether it's a small or large donation there is something in return for every size of donation you make!

So if you enjoy my work, and look forward to seeing newer, far better, and exciting projects to come, you really will appreciate every penny you put into this pot. (examples @ www.brawpictures.com)

Thank you.

P.s I decided on not to fire out this email to my whole contact list, instead just the ones who I believe will be able to make a difference! 

Sol is trying to raise money to buy this very fancy new camera, he is opting for the age old technique of begging as opposed to working for it. If you wish to donate to Sol and his very worthy cause then please click on the links above. 

I thought I would try something similar.

Hello Family, friends, lecturers and strangers! 

As you may know I have been following my passion for drinking and eating poorly for a number of years now. And there has been great progress. I now come to the end of my last year studying film and more so need all of your help. Soon my student discount will no longer be valid and I’ll have to pay council tax!

I ask for a hand out from you, mainly because I can’t be arsed working myself. This hand out will allow me to buy beer and pizza. With everyone’s donation I can become a much lazier drunkard and all around slob.  Currently all of my drinking has been done with the benefit of a student loan. And being in my last year I’m going to need this money to do what I do best when I finish my education. (Drink and dance like a moron in some of Aberdeen’s trendier nightspots) Really just this one lump sum of money can do all of what I need. And only with your help, whether it’s a small or large donation there is something in return for every size of donation you can make.

So if you enjoy drinking with me and look forward to some more exciting drunken adventures with yours truly you really will appreciate every penny that you put into this pot.

For Examples of drunken adventures why not point your web browser to www.TheBlogOfAndyG.com

To make your donation please find me in the street and give me money. I don’t have a website for donations as I want to cut out the middle man. As the great Bob Geldof once said, just give me you f*cken money!

Thank you

Andy G

Back to school: Year 2 Week 3

Hi

How's it goin?

I'm gonna be totally honest, this week I have done very little.

Monday I had my work experience class, where I sat. And that's about it. I essentially sat down for 90 minutes. I then went home and finished watching the last season of How I Met Your Mother.

Have You ever seen that show? It's very good.

Tuesday I was off, and determined to do something productive. So I went for a cycle. I was going to cycle all the way to Banchory and back (about 30 miles round trip) But the weather wasn't the best, I cycled 5 miles it started to rain and I got in a huff and turned back.

And that my friends was the highlight of my Tuesday.

I spent the rest of the day at home very bored.

I decided to try and make a celebrity friend via Twitter. I would spend all day tweeting if necessary. I would tweet all day, I would tweet all night. I would not rest until I made a new celebrity friend. I would ask celebrities questions, reply to comments, today is the day I make a celebrity friend. Within 5 minutes I got a reply from Dave Gorman

Look at that! He replied within ONE MINUTE! He must be very keen to be my friend. I suspect we'll meet up for a pint soon. Maybe he'll even ask me to be on his radio show. I was asking Dave (yeah I can call him Dave) about the new series of his TV show Genius. The last series was very good and the next one promises to be better.

If you can't see the video below then stop reading this crap on facebook and CLICK HERE.

It is also going to feature my good friend, Ian S Davidson. And by good friend, I mean internet acquaintance. 

So with the challenge of making a new celebrity friend complete I found myself bored again. One of the barmen from Vincents sent me a link to this video. I have chosen to name it BEST DEATH EVER!

I also found this clip from the same movie.

And that was my Tuesday.


Wednesday was a good day, I think it's shaping up to be my favourite day of the week. Class begins at 9:30am which is a pain in the arse, but we get to spend all morning in the studio playing with cameras, which is great fun. And in the afternoon we have script writing, and then we work on our various films in our production groups. Our teacher is now back in school so we got some proper work done. Well almost. I suspect in the next few weeks Wednesday will become mental.


Thursday is yet another day off. It's a tough life being a student. I did very little during the day. I was very keen to go out for a pint but all my mates are quite dull. So I went out for a beer with my future ex wife, Ilaria. She told me about some of the nutters she works with. They sound proper insane.
This may be because she works in the local mental institution. It sounds like a lot of fun. One guy apparently communicated with her through the medium of dance. He then asked her for permission to speak and then asked how the president was doing. That's quite considerate of him.


Friday I was back in the studio for the afternoon which was good fun. I spent the first two hours as a camera man and then as an interviewee. After the fun and games of The Alphabet Song, we have moved onto an interview. This is another directing exercise where we record a studio interview as if it was going out live. It's good fun. I was meant to be getting interviewed about life as a student at Aberdeen college. During the course of my interview I plugged my book several times (still available), Mentioned pineapples several times and told the interviewer how much I would like to smash in the skulls of the public who annoy me at the restaurant. I'll try and get hold of a copy and put it online for your viewing pleasure.


Not many exciting pictures were taken this week. I'll try and get something more interesting for next week.

The other day I received this tweet from my class mate Struan.

Sorry mate, as I told KP, that's not the deal. You buy my book, then you get a Friendly Friday written about you. And only if you provide proof of purchase.

A Poem about this week.

Didn't do much, at school this week.

Watched some TV, I'm such a geek.

Spent 90 minutes in my class,

Spent 90 minutes sitting on my ass.

Played around, in the studio,

I'm just learning, I don't have a clue(dio).

Went out for a bike ride,

made a celebrity friend.

To a tweet he replied,

and that was the end.

That's All For Now 


Until Next Time 


Have A Nice
