WEDNESDAY 7th, DECEMBER…

04:16am… my first post is the night before the main 101 HOUR EVENT… as I write this, I’ll be heading to bed for what will be the last time in 5 DAYS, the next time I’ll sleep will be SUNDAY night… the things we do for LOVE & DREAMS, my next BLOG will be in a few hours when I will BEGIN my biggest fundraiser of my life…

10:46am… after a KNOCK at the door, I am now fully awake, after just 5 hours of sleep, I hope that’s enough to see me through 101 HOURS… haha, but on the UPSIDE, I came downstairs to find that our official music video I edited for MC FRONTALOT has now gone live on his YOUTUBE, this is a video of footage from the WHEATUS & MC FRONTALOT 2011 tour I was lucky enough to be on. I filmed FRONTALOT singing his official song to our film every night & so I used footage from the MANY MANY gigs + footage from our INTRO shoot to make this video… if you do give it a watch, please, please give it a LIKE, unless you HATE it, then please ANGRILY hit the LIKE button, haha…

11:21am… as I sit here thinking should I go back to bed for a couple of hours, or excitedly promote my new music video, I notice that our first DONATION came in, from the amazing RUSSELL SOUTHAM, so when we officially begin at 2pm, we won’t be stuck at £0 raised, phew… thank you Russell…

2:10pm… my fiancees parents are now here & MORALE for this fundraiser is strong… tiredness has kicked in, not good, but it could also be psychological… the panic of not going to sleep for 100+ hours…

6:42pm… my loyal assistant Steve aka @kentindieFILM has just arrived to help out for a bit, for some reason, he has gone all shy & doesn’t want to be in view of the office webcam… it doesn’t take him long to relax & begin chatting about girls he wants to get with, all is back to normal in the world again…

8:55pm… Steve just left & donations began pouring in, strange coincidence? haha,

11:44pm… I think this fundraiser is going to be a tough one, the fact I’ve not had a full nights sleep in about a week is making this fundraiser a challenge, even just 10 hours in, I’m feeling sleepy, not a good start to a 101 HOUR no sleep fundraiser, haha, but I won’t give up, this film means way too much, for me to give up…

THURSDAY 8th DECEMBER…

1:09am… We just got in a donation from one of our longest & most supportive producers, @SirLarryFleming what made it so amazing was how he made it for £101, so £1 for every hour I’m doing…

4:01am… well, we have now just dipped into what I class as the TWITTER ABYSS, between 4am-8am is a time on twitter when there is very little interaction, its always very rare to do any donations at this time, but as we sink into the 4 hour twitter abyss, we sit happily with £639 raised… a great start to the fundraiser in the first 14 HOURS…
