It turns out it's harder than I expected to find a movie star's email. I did find one for one of Guillermo del Toro's production companies. I figure he's probably in a good mood right now.
"Dear Guillermo
Congratulations on winning the Best Picture Oscar! I haven't seen The Shape of Water; but I thought Pan's Labyrinth was great. Although it was a bit violent. I liked the book The Strain, too. I even read the sequels.
I'm trying to raise funds for a trip to Las Vegas to raise awareness for my Trillion Trees Project. Here's the link:
https://www.gofundme.com/trillion-trees-project
If it's not your thing, perhaps you could forward this to some A-list celebrities like George Clooney or Leo DiCaprio? I've heard they're into fundraising.
Enjoy your after-parties
Tim"

Re: 2018 summer trip
I got his PM. I don't have paypal. Besides, I don't really want to rely on donations from you lot; because:Artful Drunktective wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:09 am^ ^ ^ Yes Oett asked if Paypal is accepted. I would be happy to contribute! In exchange, you have to go with me to a male revue in Vegas. :D
a) it won't get me there
b) I'd feel obliged to pay you back if I did get there
You could help by letting any famous/rich people you know about the project.
Also, if anyone is willing to strip naked at a Trump rally (or similar event) and run around holding a Trillion Trees Project sign trying to get on the news, this would be a big help. Try not to get shot doing it, though.

That means strippers, right? It would depend how much it cost and how cheap the drinks were there.Artful Drunktective wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:09 am...In exchange, you have to go with me to a male revue in Vegas. :D
If I do get there, I think wandering around the strip drinking convenience store beers and rye and looking at all the neon is more my thing.
I've re-activated my Facebook after seven years. Tried to set up a public page called Trillion Trees Project but I may not get it. A Google search revealed there's already something called that. Not on FB though, so if I do get this name it may work to my advantage.
I'll stop posting copies of the emails I'm sending out here, as I've decided that I should be posting them on gofundme and FB. I'll start a twitter, too; then start tweeting celebs to see if they'll retweet my link. I think that's how it works.

Re: 2018 summer trip
Twitter? Jesus fucking christ! I create an account. It immediately locks me out. I try and pass their stupid fucking I am not a robot test. It fails to send me an SMS code. Ever. I can't even access Help for more than a few seconds before it takes me back to the enter SMS code screen. I log in and out. Half the time the fields aren't active. This thing works like it was designed by a retarded monkey. I decide to start over with a new account. No, my email already has an account so I can't use it. I finally manage to submit a help request over the web. Apparently they'll get back to me in a few days. An email suggests perhaps they locked me out because my chosen name was already taken by someone else. Why didn't they just say it was taken and get me to choose another? Am I supposed to somehow guess what the username of every fucking person on twitter isn't? Fuck!Dear Booze wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 7:00 pmLet me know what your Twitter name is.Casual Binger wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:49 pmI'll stop posting copies of the emails I'm sending out here, as I've decided that I should be posting them on gofundme and FB.

Re: 2018 summer trip
Oh. It turns out my phone wasn't working. My twitter account is now unlocked.
DB my twitter name appears to be trilliontrees@trilliontrees2
Does that makes sense? It was supposed to be trilliontrees
I'll get started on learning how to use hashtags and all that later. Then start bothering people.

I think I've got this twitter thing worked out. I'll post a few contrarian tweets in trending threads each day to raise my profile. Each time I tweet about climate change I'll drop in a #trilliontrees and once per day I'll post a link to my gofundme. Vegas here I come!

Re: 2018 summer trip
You really need to build some followers to make this work. Try following about 100 people. Not famous people, just regular folks. Then, every three days or so, unfollow the ones that did not follow you back.Casual Binger wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 2:16 pmDone.Dear Booze wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:36 amI think I found you.

Then, follow 100 more people. amd do the whole thing again and again.
Don't be too serious either. Tweet some funny shit. That will get some attention quickly.
Just my two cents.

Re: 2018 summer trip
I thought I was being funny with those tweets. I have an extremely cynical sense of humor. Some guy who describes himself as an angel investor and aspiring TED talker liked and retweeted one. I should hit him up for a donation when I figure out how to do that.

Re: 2018 summer trip
Wow. That twitter is a real mindfuck. I'll get on top of it this weekend. I'm drinking johhny red and something called arc vally beer. Both were cheap and acceptable. I'll sort out Facebook this weekend too, I guess. Sorry to monopolise yor Vegas thread. I looked online and it looks like the most wonderful place on earth. A theme park for adults.
