I personally am extremely grateful for all of you who have helped back the first ever Weapons of Mass Creation Festival. My big "idea" last summer is now becoming a reality and you all are part of the group that started it.

The funds from this will help us pay for travel expenses of our guests, various equipment rentals, food, lighting, printing, etc. The list grows every day.

Once again, thanks a ton. You can be proud of yourself for backing this project. I will be awarding everyone their Kickstarter benefits very soon.

Over the past few months Cleveland’s Weapons of Mass Creation Festival has been taking in donations on the popular crowd-sourcing site Kickstarter to help raise some of the necessary funds to put the event on. As of right now they’ve raised almost $2,000 of their $2,500 goal, but with Kickstarter it’s an all or nothing situation – meaning if WMC can’t raise that last $500 by April 15th none of the current donations can be accepted.

So for this last week, in an effort to clinch that final $500, the WMC staff is starting a new Refer a Friend Program. Meaning, if you refer your friend to WMC’s Kickstarter project and they donate $25 or more, you BOTH will not only get free weekend passes to the event, but VIP/Backstage access.

How does it work? Simple. You tell your friend how excited you are about the WMC Kickstarter project, they get equally excited and decide to donate at least $25 at the site here.
Then they show off their Refer a Friend status by tweeting “I just kicked @wmcfest thanks to @yourtwittername http://kck.st/ctTns0“. That way the folks at WMC will know who to give the Refer a Friend goodies to.

Think of it this way. Weekend passes to WMC are $25 on the website. Instead of you and your friend both spending the $25 each for your weekend passes, you could just suggest to your friend that they pledge their $25 to the Kickstarter instead and you’re both in and upgraded to the VIP section all weekend long. Now, doesn’t that feel good?

Can we do it?

You can start by telling your friends on Facebook at Twitter or talking to businesses you know to support the cause. It either will take one or two very generous backers or a whole horde of you to help get us over the hump.

Spread the word and be a Weapon of Mass Promotion!
