Dear All,

I'm a silly actor. A Joss follower also. No matter of that though.

On a whim, I signed up for a $50,000 online karaoke contest. Visions of paying my father back for tuition loans and creditors back for crediting dancing in my head. Acting classes too. Also, philanthropy.

I saw all the efforts made to benefit Equality Now with the recent screenings and I thought I'd throw in my two cents. Or rather, one thousand dollars. Doubled by Starbucks (my overlord with a pact to double employee donations up to $1,000).

If I win the contest, I want Equality Now to get that $2,000. In order to win, I need votes for my video.

It's silly, like myself. It's 80s. It has the opportunity to help a lot of people. All you need to do is register (the site so far is spamless towards me) and give me a thumbs-up. Between now and the end of September, I need to get into the top 5 (about 100 more votes then I have now should do that) in order to advance to the next round. Once there, just gotta get the most votes.

The gratefulness would overwhelm both me and Equality Now. I've already checked with both Starbucks and EN, and they have both said all is Kosher with the donations. I plan to thank those who help me and EN out with much in the way of shindigs ('specially in Chicago, LA, NC where I plan to visit with some of the winnings after Uncle Sam takes 'bout half of it).

If there are questions, concerns, critiques or whatnot, just let me know at:

If anybody thinks the legitimacy is a bit shady, I'll provide my phone # after you e-mail so that we can chat about all things wonderful. A read over of some of my Joss-influenced scripts, perhaps as well :-P.

Think it over.

Thanks muchly,
Bryan
