Nice job completing the course. I know those courses are quite difficult.

My hips are still hating me. Although, I was happy to finish in the top 3rd of my old person age group.

I doubt that your age group is older than mine. The fact that I run in events that give our awards by age group is the only reason I ever win anything.

Too corny for an ad?

Gonna put my Tex ad designs in Fan Art later today so anyone can use any they like.

LOL, this just made me think of putting up a personals ad on Craig's List and directing them to the Kickstarter!! That would probably piss some people off tho...

SWM looking for beautiful Blonde

LOL Craigslist did pop into my mind, too, as a matter of fact.

Sooo, what's the whole Twitter protocol/social etiquette? I'm not a huge user, but it would be great if just one well followed famous person mentioned Tex. Would you (aka I) look like a total idiot if you (I) posted something like "I wonder if @grantimahara ever played the #texmurphy games in the 90's?" Not even link directly to the Kickstarter, but if they click #TexMurphy out of curiosity they'd find the Kickstarter mentioned on other posts... Any frequent Twitter-ers have any advice?

Edit: WOOT! 300 posts!

Aw man... even though my ad budget is expended, I really with I could afford ads on The Spoony Experiment website. He's does a video series on FMV games, and has overtly expressed love for Tex Murphy in the past. His users will know who Tex is. $150 for one week of a tiny animated GIF ad. I can make an ad easy, but I don't know what's worth it-- $150 for an ad, or $150 into the Kickstarter itself? Would Spoony's readers already know about Project Fedora?

I sent Spoony an email about it, but, of course, he's a very busy guy. Still, sounds pretty good to me.

Hmm... now that you mention it, Spoony's just a regular guy, and he's been really sick and depressed lately. So if I bought an ad on his site, I'd be helping both him and Tex. Hmm. I just might do it...
