Besides, a well-publicized event not only raises money; it also publicizes the film. It was more than a decade ago when Robert Rodriguez raised money for his first movie by selling his body to medical research, and he's STILL milking that. And Michael Moore funded his first movie (Roger & Me) by holding bingo nights. Any publicity is a good thing.
And I'm not planning on paying for publicity. I'll advertise online and through word-of-mouth, and issue press releases. This works for fundraisers all the time.
Pamela, I remember that car thing... argh. Nobody's going to be suffering for this one except me though; I'm thinking 12 hours of lapdancing, with 15-minute bathroom/food breaks every three hours. The customer will change; different people can buy slots of time. I plan on doing the majority of it, if not all of it, barefoot. It'll be strenuous but I can do it.
I just need a venue at this point. Right now I'm looking at February 3, but the date is flexible.
And I'm still curious as to the laws, if anyone has a link.
