It's that time of year when hosting fees are due again - here's what it costs - $300/year. We're hoping you'll help us defray the costs just a little. 

There have been some awesome KS campaigns, and <a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-crowdfunding-conundrum-the-line-between-bringi,97910/">some real questionable ones</a>.

We can't make any promises of "rewards" if you pitch in other that we'll keep posting here and bringing you things you may not see anywhere else.  News, pictures, reviews, oddball looks at the music industry and fandom. A shockingly small number of posts with cute kittens (let us know if we should work harder to rectify that).

Why is This Is Somewhere interesting? <a href="http://www.thisissomewhere.com/2012/12/03/our-long-national-belladonna-deficit-is-over/">How many other websites can rally a band to pull out an old cover for their fans</a>. We'd like to think we <a href="http://www.thisissomewhere.com/2012/11/21/time-to-gas-up-the-easy-cover-song-rider/">had some influence on the new crop of cover songs that have appeared lately</a>. <strike>That trip up the coast in  California to (redacted) and write songs for TLTBTB? That was my idea.</strike> <strike>I booked all the bands for Grand Point North.</strike> 

We think it's a good thing, we hope you will as well. 

You simply "<a href="http://www.thisissomewhere.com/donate/">click to  Donate</a>" - I'll update the amounts here.

#ProTip - It's not really a KickStarter Campaign, but I want to make sure I'm all buzzworthy on that front. 

#ProTip 2 - Zach Braff will not be <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1869987317/wish-i-was-here-1">filming a promo video for us</a>

#ProTip 3 - Thanks for considering this. We know you get lots of requests for money these days. If you're strapped or a frequent donator just take a pass. I know this is the part where I'm supposed to push you and market the hell out of this but you know what - we'll all get by. I enjoy the community created here that gets replicated in the real world and I hope you do as well. That's really it.
