Kristen Bell - Kristen Bell Fan Project: Breakout Beyond!

Project Breakout Beyond
Kristen Bell Gift Project

What are you on about?!

Between the 13th to 15th of June Kristen Bell will be at the Starfury convention 'Breakout Beyond', a joint convention for fans of Veronica Mars and Prison Break. Within the KB Encounters thread we've been discussing the possibility of using this event as a chance to show Kristen how much we adore her. Now as fun as it would be to jump out of a huge cake we've decided to go for a different, and more common, approach - a fan book!

If you're going to BoB then you may be interested in joining this livejournal community.

Fanbook

We've decided to put together a fan book for Kristen which will be put together by us here on the boards and the clever glueing skills of Kirsty (Whordy)

. The book has 24 pages of which at least one will be used for an introduction page put together by those involved in setting up this project.

Front of Book
Inside The Book

What goes in the book? Well you decide! Feel free to discuss that here as well.

Extra Gifts

We are also planning on buying a few little gifts to give to Kristen, including things from each different country we come from. Obviously, this part will be limited to those who are attending the convention and can bring the gifts with them.

There is also going to be a fan-vid competition at the convention, which the guests will judge. If anyone not attending would like to make a video (Veronica Mars related) and send it to us, we will then pick our favourites, and enter them in the competition, giving you full credit for making them. And if you win, we'll send you your prize!

We will also be making a donation to a charity that Kristen supports (most likely Invisible Children). If you'd like to donate to this then please PM me with your email address and I can explain how to go about that.

Charity Donations

Seperate from the book, we are also going to be making a donation to a charity that Kristen supports, which we will then inform her of at the convention. We would really love any and all contributions from you guys, whether you're participating in the book or not! The bigger the donation we can make, the better.

All donations can be made to the Paypal account we have created for this project. To donate, you must set up a Paypal account, and send your donation to kbfanproject@googlemail.com. All payments through Paypal are 100% secure, and your bank details are not seen by anyone.

The payments we recieve will then be transferred to the charity we choose, and we will give Kristen a reciept of this transaction, along with the names of everyone who has contributed!

You can donate whatever amount you like, anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.

Deadline

The deadline for all contributions is May 18th.

Questions

If you have any questions (which I'm sure you will, I don't really think I explain things all that well!) then please comment here and ask us, PM one of us , or email kbfanproject@googlemail.com

So who is in charge of this thing?

Well we have four people as the brains of the operation. Three of these people are going to be at the actual convention and will be doing the actual handing over of the book. These are Kirsty (Whordy), Eva (motylik20), Mandy (Mandy-J) and myself - Rai.

Kirsty is going to be in charge of actually putting the book together. Mandy is dealing with the paypal account if anyone wants to donate anything towards the costs of putting this together and donating money to a charity of Kristens choice. Mandy will also be getting an extra gift or two. Eva will be putting together a home made cushion for Kristen! And me, I'm dealing with the admin side of things and keeping things organised with signing up etc...

How do I take part

Firstly we need to know how many people want to take part so that we know if we need more than one book. In order to do that we're giving everyone three weeks to sign up. Once those three weeks we can then let you know how much space you'll have to fill up and that'll give you a month to put everything together and get it in to us by May 18th.

If you would like to take part then post here and let us know or send a PM to me - silvercrystal - letting me know that you would like to be added to the sign up list.

You can also sign up at Kirsty's Livejournal.

IMPORTANT DATES

23rd March - Final date to sign up to take part.
18th May - Final submission date for anything you want in the book.
13th - 15th June - Breakout Convention!

thanks Rai!

I'm confused about something though: is the date may 25th or may 18th?

And Eva, are you getting all the gifts or is it okay if I look for them too?

motylik20 · 02-27-2008, 03:32 AM

Thanks Rai!

Rai maybe you could make the words donation to this into donation to a charity of Kristen's choosing? So people see it when they just skim the page, otherwise they might overlook it or think we want a donation mainly for the book and gifts and not for a good cause.

I'm mainly in charge of the pillow if I remember correctly. So it's not only okey if you look for them too, but mandatory.

Because I thought you were getting the dog. Lol.

ETA: The book looks great. We will have to design a front page though.

Completely forgot about that one.

silvercrystal · 02-27-2008, 04:38 AM

This is why I need you guys, I make silly mistakes

All fixed! The date is the 18th, I moved it back a week so we have more time to get it all put together.

**the echo fades** · 02-27-2008, 06:20 AM

Thanks for the thread Rai!

As for the presents - are we still going to do a little thing from each country?

motylik20 · 02-27-2008, 06:37 AM

I was under the assumption that yes we were.

**the echo fades** · 02-27-2008, 06:55 AM

Ah, cool. I'll get something Little Britain related then. And teabags

motylik20 · 02-27-2008, 08:16 AM

Teabags are a must.

**the echo fades** · 02-27-2008, 04:13 PM

Of course!

Now sign up, people!

Mandy-J · 02-28-2008, 03:48 AM

Yes, sign up

And pimp!

I'm totally buying little wooden shoes and something with 'reefer'

And I'll go and look for the stuffed dog etc

**Shopaholic** · 02-28-2008, 03:54 AM

Here I am.. signing up

**the echo fades** · 02-28-2008, 06:28 AM

Yay Holly!

I thought you meant you were actually going to get her some reefer then.. was going to say, probably best not to bring drugs

I'll post about this on my LJ tonight.

Mandy-J · 02-28-2008, 08:00 AM

No I'm not going to buy her drugs lmao. That would end me up in prison on the Schiphol or Heathrow airport for smuggling

Something with a leaf on it and I'll attach a reefer madness quote and a Holland and drugs quote, I think.

Will you let usknow when you post so that we can link to your post?

Great that you're signing up Holly!

**the echo fades** · 02-28-2008, 10:23 AM

Hee, that sounds good!

And yup, I'll let you know

silvercrystal · 02-28-2008, 12:59 PM

Added you to the list Holly. Sorry it took so long, my net was down all yesterday because of the earthquake down in England messing with the servers.
