Reading through Fark today, I spotted an amazing thing: If I Blog It They Will Come a blog I hadn't heard of in 6 months, has been successful in its mission. Kevin Costner has read their blog, or at least some of it.
This has been achieved in only 7 months by a bunch of unknowns, contacting a big-name star without directly pestering him. I feel we can do better, and have the wicker coffin ready for Easter.
Which, obviously enough, gives me an idea. If Vix is willing to put up with a cramped enclosure for a day we could have an excellent set-piece lined up. Unfortunately, Rammstein isn't planning a tour that soon, but heh, if they're willing to make a wicker coffin maybe they'll make an exception? Well, either that or we could wait a year.

The project gets a home
One not-actually-drunken night, after watching the Simpsons movie, me and my good friend Vixen were chatting, and when the subject of funerals came up she mentioned a desire to have a wicker coffin produced by Til Lindemann of Rammstein
Thus was born:
Project Woven Death*
*It would be hard for me to think of a more melodramatic name for this; which is the only reason I haven't.
My aim is to find a way to persuade Mr. Lindemann to produce this coffin using his keenly honed basket-weaving skills.
But first, we must contact him; and that is where you come in. Keep checking back here, invite your friends to look, and spread the word. Eventually, someone in a position to tell Til about it will hear, and then it will be a simple matter of convincing him to do something totally insane. Given as this is the entire point of Rammstein, I don't expect too much trouble in that phase of the project.
In the month since its inception, Project Woven Death has already gained one celebrity supporter, Robert Rankin was recruited while I was on a day out with Dr. Steel's Toy Soldiers
This post (כ) Kingreaper: Plans to update at least once a week (tuesday or thursday) with info or fun things to do.
