Michael Easton Birthday Projects by Fans

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:02 am by Administrator

The following are three projects initiated by Michael Easton fans to celebrate him, his acting and writing, and his birthday:

1.  Donating to the American Cancer Society in honor of Michael (http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/TeamACS/TACSFY09National?team_id=586877&pg=team&fr_id=17840&fl=en_US&et=NKElvDm3OSthosVcg2xADw..&s_tafId=508524 )

Join forces with other Michael Easton fans in contributing money to the American Cancer Society and encouraging others to donate.

2. Donating copies of Michael’s Soul Stealer books to libraries: In honor of Michael’s upcoming birthday and to celebrate his writings, Michael Easton fans from various groups have initiated a project that will help boost sales of Michael’s Soul Stealer books, raise awareness of his literary talents, and help libraries. To participate in this project, you can go to Michael’s graphic novel publisher’s site, DMF Comics , purchase a copy of Soul Stealer 1 or 2, and then donate the copy to a library of your choice. When donating the book to the library, please also include professional reviews about Soul Stealer since many libraries will not accept books for inclusion in their collections without a professional review. For a list of professional reviews, see the section *Soul Stealer in the Media*  (http://www.michaeleaston.com/soulstealer.html ).

A list of libraries throughout the US and elsewhere is at: http://lists.webjunction.org/libweb/

3.  Donating to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance project in honor of Michael’s birthday:

 4. Collaborating on a group project focusing on Michael’s writings and inspirations: Since Michael has inspired us with his writing and his acting, maybe we can try to share with him some of the works (music, art, writings, films, etc.) that remind us of the types of themes and imagery he evokes so brilliantly in his Soul Stealer series, as well as his book of poetry Eighteen Straight Whiskeys. For example, we could include images from works of art, links to Web sites discussing literature and films, and suggest song titles (or even add sound files) that we find darkly illuminating in a way reminiscent of his writings. We could explain why these images, stories, songs, films, etc. remind us of Michael’s works or evoke similar emotions and atmosphere. Last year some of us here participated in a project of this nature, including photos and song files. This year we can do it again, primarily focusing on Michael’s literary works and the influences he has mentioned in the Behind the Scenes part of his official Web site ( http://www.michaeleaston.com/SS_BTS.html ).  From now until his birthday, we can post messages, images, songs, and links here related to this project. Then, later, I can mail him a printable copy of these posts, links, etc. You can post your comments, links,  here at my blog or on my MySpace Michael Easton Eclectics Salon page ( http://www.myspace.com/michaeleastoneclectics ). (To post on the MySpace page, however, you will need to add it as a Friend.)
