Vodka Rocks! event this weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!

Update #7 · Jun 28, 2012 · comment

Hi everyone,

We wanted to thank you again for supporting our actitainment movie project, Vodka Rocks! It really means a lot to us.

This coming Saturday, June 30th, we will have a small group of people in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to help spread the word about our film. It will be a fun way to tell people about our project and get some more interest. We’ll even be giving away samples of “the world’s first alcohol-free vodka!” We will be around Bedford ave and Metropolitan ave from 11am to 1:30pm on Saturday, so if you’re in the area we invite you to come and join us. If you can’t make it, we will be doing a few more next month and hope you can make it out with us!

Best,

Vodka Rocks! Team

Always wanted to own a tank?

Update #4 · Jan 8, 2012 · comment

We have a tank for you! Just one. The first backer who raises their pledge by $100 may get the tank as an extra reward. 

You can see the tank in action:

It was part of the Coca-Cola fleet which has been fighting the Pepsi army in violent conflicts all over the world, and is a very desirable memento, or piece of Americana if you will. Thanks to our inside contacts, we were able to obtain one for our supporters.

This particular one is built to be operated by hamsters (but also has a radio control for convenience), it's about 16" x 7" x 6". It's adorable. You can actually shoot small pellets with it. It will be the envy of all at the park. You know you deserve it.

Getting very close

Update #3 · Jan 6, 2012 · comment

We're a couple of days away from our deadline, and at over 50% - feeling very hopeful! Still enjoying so much that our community is raising up to support our efforts. We recommend to everyone this great way to start the new year...

 There are also five other ways (below) in which you can support the fundraising effort over the next 2 days. The most helpful are listed first. 

1. Tell your friends, family, neighbors about the campaign! They can google vodka rocks kickstarter, or john rubino kickstarter. 

2. Email your circle about our Kickstarter campaign for the distribution of Vodka Rocks! Why should they contribute? Because Vodka Rocks! has been a long labor of love for John Rubino and the film's crew. Because (we were told) it's a brilliant satire of branding and marketing. 

3. Message your facebook friends with same content. Or post the link with encouragement to contribute on your facebook page, google +, twitter, linkedin, or any other social media platforms you use. 

4. Add comments to our Kickstarter page, our Vodka Rocks! facebook page, and/or our Vodka Rocks facebook Kickstarter page. And “Like” it!

5. Rob a bank with a gun made of black soap and contribute the loot to our campaign. Take a full-page ad in the New York Times advertising our campaign. Sell you favorite racing horse and pledge the proceeds, etc. Or not.
