‘Allan Weisbecker has been working on his filmed memoir Water Time; Surf Travel Diary of a MadMan since the fall of 2007

Hola Amigo!

 Allan Weisbecker here, I don’t know if you’ve heard of me or not – I
 wrote a pretty popular surfing memoir called In Search of Captain Zero a
 while back about a road trip I took to Costa Rica to find my buddy that
 went missing, and my surf adventures along the way. I also wrote 2 other
 memoirs, and am currently working on a filmed memoir called Water Time;
 Surf Travel Diary of a MadMan. You can learn more about this one by
 visiting my website banditobooks.com.

 I’m back down south in Mexico now, will be here until late May, working
 on Water Time; Surf Travel diary of a MadMan. Still have a few months to
 go to finish. The surf here has been firing for over 2 weeks straight. 
 Heaven.

 I’m trying to raise finishing money, partially via the website called
 Kickstarter.com. The way it works is you set a goal of how much money
 you need and folks contribute (it¹s via Amazon, actually). I set my goal
 at $10k. Problem is if you don¹t reach the goal you don¹t get any of the
 money pledged.

  You have to do it in a specified time period. I’ve got 5 days left and
 I’m short on pledges. As of right now I need about $2k more pledged.

  I’m hoping you can help get me close (if I get close I can have
 friends that can throw in the rest and I reimburse them).

 I’d love it if you’d plug me on your website someplace. Maybe you have
 a news section or a community section? Post a link maybe?

 If you haven’t seen the first 7 minutes of the film, you can see it at
 banditobooks.com

 A  plug like this might help a lot.

 Here is a quick blurb I put together that you can use if you want:
 ‘Allan Weisbecker has been working on his filmed memoir Water Time;
 Surf Travel Diary of a MadMan since the fall of 2007 and is hoping for
 contributions to help with finishing money – legal expenses, music
 rights, etc. – via Amazon’s Kickstarter.com website. You can go to
 Banditobooks.com  to learn more and see the first 7 minutes of the
 film.’

 Thanks, amigo.

 Allan
