Today and tomorrow I’ll be highlighting my two teammates in this effort and what they’re offering in exchange for your donation. Yesterday was Meghan Mae, who is offering a variety of baked goods in exchange for your generosity. Today is local musician and ne’er-do-well Phil Nagle.

Also, you can get a song written about you for donating. More info below.

FEAR OF HEIGHTS ON A SCALE OF 1 to 10: 8.5

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY: I am moving to LA 2 weeks after this thing! Help me leave with a bang!!

Phil, a musician, is making a variety of fun offers in exchange for your donation. Again, from the man himself:

• $10 or less: I will mail you a package including a letter and numerous extras, such as stickers, pins, drawings, fun things! The more you donate, the more you get!
• More than $10: I will write you a poem about how beautiful you are, and hand draw a full color representation.
• $25 or more: I will WRITE A SONG ABOUT ANY TOPIC YOU CHOOSE IN ANY GENRE YOU CHOOSE. Add $20 to one of the above two and I’ll make a theatrical video version.
• $50 or more: I’ll make an EP (5 songs) dedicated to any genre/topic you choose, with a hand made cover. -OR – I will make you a piece of art of any topic you choose. It will be brilliant and one day worth millions as I plan on becoming incredibly famous. :)
• $75 or more: I’ll make you a DVD of all the short films I have ever made, and will write you a song for the DVD menu screen. Please note, this is embarrassing for me!
• $100 or more: NAME YOUR OWN! If it is within reason, i’ll do it. Also, drum lessons, guitar lessons are available upon request.
• For a decent sum of money I will recreate 5 minutes of ANY film you choose.

Desperate times call [...]]]>

Appeals to our better angels rarely go heeded. Such is the case with my quest to raise $1,000 for the Special Olympics of NY through the Over the Edge event. And now I have a teammate – Meghan Nolan – who I also want to help get to that grand mark.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and so I’ve decided I’m going to provide more services in exchange for donations.

That’s right. I’ve become a prostitute. But for a good cause!

My first occurred yesterday, when I offered to do a dramatic re-enactment of a video of composer Adrian Munsey’s “Lost Sheep,” where he holds a goat and bleats behind an orchestral accompaniment.

In addition to the StuntRaising announced on this blog, I’ll be making side deals with folks through Twitter – @KevinMarshall. These will consist of both proposals from me, shout-outs, and solicitations from other Tweeters that send an @ reply to me. For example, yesterday Chuck Miller offered to up his donation to $50 if I read out loud a chapter of his choosing from his novel The Robins of Iverhill, and I took him up on it (post with full audio forthcoming).

Mind you, if you make an offer, whether or not I accept is solely at my discretion. Make them intriguing, but not ridiculous. For example, I’m not going to run head-first into a brick wall for a $20 donation. I may, though, post a video on the blog wishing your mother a happy birthday for a $30 donation.

So keep an eye on this blog and follow me on Twitter for more opportunities to maximize your donation!

And of course, you can still donate even if you don’t partake in these challenges. Even as little as $10 goes a long way. For more information and to donate, click here.
