Mark Baumer tried to get funds on Kickstarter to write 50 books in one year. It didn’t get funded. He’s writing them anyway and releasing them one at a time. You can read them online and you can buy them. I love Mark Baumer.

      This may not be true, and I can’t find anything at the moment to confirm it, but I heard from a film critic friend that some Hollywood studio offered Takashi Miike something like $30 million to make a film. And Miike replied, “I’ll take the $30 million, but I want to make 30 $1 million films.” And the studio declined that offer, and nothing came of it. Alas.

      I think I’m going to like “I Thought My Butt Was Dry But It Wasn’t” the best.

      He might have done better if he tried to raise money to write one book in fifty years.

      a long time ago I decided that if I’m ever in a band I want it to be called Mark Baumer and the Ovanoods

      also I would like to purchase physical copies of these books when they’re all done and then display them all on my wall so that I can have a giant mark baumer facewall.
