Kickstarter Update - GOOOAALLL!

We did it.  We hit our $8500 goal.  Now let's get even further.  We've added four great stretch rewards.

First up? From the guys behind the redesign, Destination Graphic, you can get your own custum digital movie poster created based on information from your facebook profile. I got one of my own, you may have seen it on Twitter or Facebook, and you can see it on the banner just above. Fun reward from a talented designer!

Next, a super exclusive Pop Culture Beast branded edition of Eliot Hochberg's strategy board game Urosette! This is extremely limited and exclusive only to this Kickstarter. I won't even have one!

Thirdlu, you can have a character named after you in my next collection of short stories which is expected to be out later this year. If you've read my earlier book, you know some pretty insane stuff happened in it. I don't think this one will disappoint in that regard.  So your name, or a name you choose (no celebrities!), will be used in one of the stories featured in the book. And, I'll kick in a digital copy of the book as well.

Lastly, an exclusive invite for you and a guest to join us for a Karaoke Night to celebrate the relaunch of Pop Culture Beast. There's no telling who might show up to this party and it should be a blast.

These are in addition to the other great rewards still up for grabs.  Contribute and share and help us make the next version of PCB the absolute best it can be!

Our fundraiser continues!

After just 2 weeks, we've raised over $7600 towards our goal.  That means we have under $1000 left in our goal with 16 days remaining.  We are so extremely close!

I am floored by all of the support for this project but we're not there yet.  We have time to get to our goal and beyond!  Check out our great rewards (some of which are represented below!) and please pledge if you are able.

Great things are ahead for Pop Culture Beast and we will get there with your help.

Pop Culture Beast Version 2.0 @Kickstarter!

Late last night I launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a massive overhaul of Pop Culture Beast and to relaunch Pop Culture Beast presents SHOW.  I woke up this morning, less than 12 hours later, to find we're already 25% funded.  We've raised over $2,000 in the wee morning hours.

This is extremely exciting!

Have a look at the Kickstarter and if you are able, please support us as we gear up to turn PCB into something amazing.   If you can't contribute, your sharing of the KS page is not only welcomed but appreciated.  Every share helps just as much as ever dollar.  Getting the word out helps us reach new eyes and gain new readers.

I started the site just for me to write about what I loved.  We've grown a lot and it's time that the site reflects that.  Last night, you're support has shown me that Pop Culture Beast truly belongs to the people out there who keep reading it and supporting us.  We're gonna give you guys a great site you 'll want to come back to day after day.

Thanks to everyone who donated so far and to those who plan to do so later.

We are on the road to a brand new beast!  I'm super stoked to have you all along for the ride!

Announcement!

Hey everyone,

First of all, I wanted to comment on the incredible growth over the past few months.

A year ago, for the entire month of August we had 792 visits and 949 page views on the site. That was for the entire month.

Last month, over the course of July we had 1,806 visits and 2,175 page views.

In fact, since March of this year, these stats have been steadily increasing by the hundreds with no sign of slowing down. Each month receives more hits than the previous and I can't even describe how excited I am.

This is all because of you guys. So, I want to thank everyone out there for reading and sticking with us and for telling your friends and spreading our links and for anything else you've done to help Pop Culture Beast grow like it has and continue to grow.

Secondly, and this is the announcement part of this post, I wanted to let everyone know that we will be moving Pop Culture Beast to a new blog platform very soon. I am still trying to decide which one is best for us so we can make everything a little cleaner around here and easier to navigate and enjoy.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to email me.

We've recently added a couple new writers but we still have plenty of room for more so if you are interested in writing for us please also get in touch with me. We'd could also use some savvy web designers who might want to design a new look or logo for the site.

Without you, Pop Culture Beast would not be where it is today. So I thank you for that.

We'll continue bringing you reviews, news, commentary, and more for as long as you guys stick with us.

So again, Thank You.

Your Pop Culture Beast,

Garon

Writers and Designers Wanted!!

Pop Culture Beast is still looking to add some more writers to the staff. It's pretty loose and open and you can write about anything related to pop culture and as we grow the opportunity for review material increases. We're working with some great companies already and as we grow so will our contacts.

We're also looking for someone willing to donate their web design skills to help

us redesign the site into something more unique and enjoyable. We also need a logo!

If you are interested, please drop me a line with a writing sample! Just shoot an email to me at garon@popculturebeast.com

Oh and these are non paying gigs...at least for now.

Coming soon to PCB

I wanted to make a quick post letting everyone know what is coming to the site in the next few days.

I've gotten a lot of stuff to review so it is keeping me pretty busy, including a couple books:

Blind Fall by Christopher Rice courtesy of Scribner.

and Me 2 by M. Christian. This review will appear both here and at DoorQ.com.

I also will be reviewing some upcoming movie releases, including the upcoming Batman flick Gotham Knight, as well as four upcoming TLA Releasing films: Pistoleros, The Living & the Dead, Storm, and Amnesia: The James Brighton Enigma.

Not to mention a computer program that I am especially excited to try out. More on that in a week or so.

Also, everything is falling into place for the Pop Culture Beastcast! Just some details to iron out, and some decisions on a cast, and we'll be in business.

I might also start taking applications for writers. This has not been officially decided yet but it might happen rather quickly.

Things are getting rather exciting here at the Beast! Thanks for sticking with us.

I'd have been happy with 300 but to have 30,000 hits is amazing!

Thanks to everyone who visit. Hopefully, we'll have 30,000 more :)
