Win a trip to the Star Trek Discovery premiere with Harry Mudd

A $10 donation will get you a possible trip to the DSC premiere with Rainn Wilson.

RAMA

 

Hmm, sounds fishy.

What guarantees do I have that he won't just put me in a sack and sell me off to some space-miners?

 

Don't eat the glittery jelly candy and you'll be fine.

 

Is Rainn Wilson kind of a weird dude, or is he just good at playing weird dudes?

 

Just keep an eye out for androids and you'll be fine.

 

^^^
BUT - if you DO eat the glittery jelly candy you'll LOOK FINE.

 

I wonder if the person keeping track of the donations is a Mr. Cyrano Jones, CPA.

 

Turns out the big premiere is September 19th!!

 

@extspace: If you donate and @ me a screencap of the receipt, I will randomly pick a donor and draw something Discovery-related for that person! https://twitter.com/startrekroom/status/900387732693831680

 

Just donated. I am always in favor of helping educate and give a bright future to children in all places of the world. That he's doing it via an artistic angle, that makes it better! I'm always donating time and money to musical education, and this is another donation I make happily!

 

Interesting, .. I guess. But there are more direct way to sponsor charities in need. And, while they say they cover travel, travel is more than a plane ticket and of course there is lodging and accommodations to cover.

That aside, I will say this, it is a nice gesture and positive promotional campaign. So, if you feel it's worth it - donate, if not - don't.

 

It says that travel and accommodations are covered if you win.

 

Umm ... no it doesn't. Check the video again. He only states "travel" on a 'futuristic' flying vehicle. Mr. Wilson's description of you being his "guest" means, I would gather you will be going to an event with him (if chosen), not that he'll put you up in a hotel. Besides how long has it been since you flew? It usually is more costly than a simple plane ticket.

However, that is not anywhere close to the issue, or my original point. As I stated originally, if you want to donate (which I saw you did) great. But I maintain, there are more direct and arguably more efficient ways to assist these charities.

 

I agree with you in your point. There are some charities that I assist with directly (a lot of which are to deal with musical education or musical therapy) and others that I donate in this way when I know of no other way to donate at that point in time.

 

Um yeah..but you don't get to see the premiere on the 19th that way, or get perks from the producers.

 

Although I probably have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, that is something I would love to experience!

 

Fair Enough. Quite true. I do hope one of you guys do get the chance to go.
Good Luck!

That's awesome. I wonder if we can request he discuss the premiere with us afterward, in character as Dwight Schrute. Too much to ask?
