That's such a great thing for you to do - and to aspire to. I was feeling the pressure a little bit knowing that somebody was going to have a go at one of my ideas, but now I know they want to blow people's minds for charity... well, the thinking cap is on.

First, absolutely awesome picture. Hilarious. The other thing I wanted to mention real quick is that I'm already starting to work out the details for how the proceeds for whatever it is goes to market can go 100% to charity. I've contacted a favorite charity of mine and am waiting to hear back. In the event I have to incur any significant cost I'll cover those. But I don't really want to make a dime off this. I don't think that's what it's about. The way it started with Derek giving his idea away, and then you giving yours away, I think the "dance" we're in together now is one of giving - not taking. It would be presumptuous of me to assume that I'll even be able to execute something well enough to make any significant amount of money, but I am smart enough to know that this idea, by it's nature and the way it started, must not benefit any single person in particular. On the flip side - taking an idea like this, making it real, and then using it to make some small sliver of the world better - that's something I think a movement can be created on. 30 to 60 days to implement an unknown idea is going to be a huge challenge, and I know I'm going to need a lot of help. I just don't think it can be successful unless the end result is something that benefits a greater cause. And frankly, after seeing the response today, I don't want to just make something mediocre and publish it. Now I want to try and blow people's minds. After seeing what happened today I know it's possible. Of course, I may crash and burn. But if I do, I want it to be in a spectacular fashion. I'm sort of an all or nothing kind of guy. I hope to have some more details I'll be able to share on my blog in the next week or so, but in the meantime, I wanted to make sure I let you, your readers, and anyone else that's interested in joining this dance party know that whatever idea is made real, it's going to be to do something awesome, impact people, and basically do something good. Today's been a real trip, and I'm really glad to have connected with you in the ether in this weird way. It's super amazing the way you embraced me - just like the dancers in the video did. I can only hope to do you and Derek justice as others join in on the fun. Andrew Hey there again Andrew, it’s Andrew. First, absolutely awesome picture. Hilarious.
