[starting out with a strong falsetto] Hello everybodyyy, this is Christine Chandler coming to you live from home once agaiiin~! I'll give you a Captain's Log: "stardate [looks at watch] 7-8-21." There you go. [laughs] Just an old-time callback.
Anyway, I am recording this today of one particular very important inciteful interest: [holds up artwork on clipboard] Everfreeeee!- Northwest." Over in the state of Washington. Over in Bellevue. I'm going to be there. I'm gonna be there! And I'm lookin' forward to meeting you all there buuuut- [lowers artwork and momentarily raises finger to chin ] though I am partially set up, I'm gonna need like a few more dollars to make sure I'm still covered for everything else I'm gonna need over the lovely weekend. Lovely weekend.
Anyway, so, I got a lovely gu- got a lovely guy who's helping me out. Keepin' my money organized and situated and everything. There'll be a GoFundMe by the time this video is uploaded, and you'll be able [to] donate that directly- he's managing it. And he's gonna do a very good job; I have faith in this guy- I have faith in 'im. Hey, I wouldn't throw a kiwi at him or anything.
But anyway, aside from that, I got everything mostly prepared like I said, so yeah. I got my gaiter in case I need to [covers mouth with hand] cover up. But I got the most important ticket- this convention ticket [briefly raises lanyard with a COVID-19 vaccination record card on it, and a note beneath it reading "She/Her pronouns"] so, only if I reeeally need to. And, got my lovely gloves. [holds up fingerless gloves, shaking them] lovely, lovely, lovely gloves! Keep my fingers freeeeee for touch-touch-touch-touch-touch! Mm, that's on my phone though, obviously- I mean [blows fart with tongue]. Mm.
Anyway, so, EVERFREE NORTHWEST is gonna be whole bunch of individuals and whatnot- artists and wha- and anybody- everybody from the brony community. It is IN-persooooon! Amongst the very, very first in-person convention since the frickin' pandemic resonated and started a couple of Novembers ago or so. Anyway, it's gonna be an awesome time. I'm lookin' forward to meeting everybody, seeing the ol' favorite celeb- old favorite people that I like- you know, from my favorite- Alice and other people I've gotten to know over the past year or two- through their videos, binging 'em and whatnot. Got a few more favorites in mind. And just lookin' forward to meetin' all of you- all of you lovely people who are gonna be there. My fans and art appreciators and aficionaaados and everything. But yeah, I'm approachable. Hugs are free. Only making sure you're fully vaccinated though, so [raises vaccine card again] mm- make sure you show the guys at the door your convention ticket.
So aside from that, yeah. I need a few bucks. Like a few extra thousand to help me [itches nose] with the weekend. [itches nose some more] I'm sorry, I had an i- I really have an itch on my nose- this is not a body language or anything, I wanna emphasize that clearly. But yeah, for food, for additional details and transportation and a hotel- additional details, mind you- and just, whatever else- whatever else and... yeeeah, a little bit of swag, I wanna be able to share some of this- share a little bit for the arts as well. Hey, I'm an artist, and I appreciate and support all other artists. Okay? They're inciteful. They're linked to the other dimensions as much as I am, if not... on matching levels, cuz, I'm overpowered, obviously. But anyway, so, Everfree Northwest!... Um... I'm tryna remember the dates in my noggin right now, but- it's the ssssecond weekend in August, so, I'm hopin' to see y'all there, and I'm lookin' forward to meeting such lovely new people and seeing lovely old people again- I don't mean old as in elderly, though they need compassion and respect, too, mind you. [sighs]
But aside from that, Everfree Northwest. Come on down and give me a hand to get there, please. I am heavy at work at this time, so... At this time, but at the convention I'm gonna have a good time and I'm gonna be even more busy. I'm lookin' forward to seein' y'all there! I'd like a hand! Thank you very much.
The GofundMe
The GoFundMe is organized by Null. Its description reads:
| This is a fundraiser to help send Christine Weston Chandler to the Everfree NW My Little Pony convention. Christine / Chris / Chris-Chan is considered one of the most documented people in human history thanks to enormous volumes of online encyclopedias written about Chris and Sonichu, a comic series that Chris has worked on since highschool. This documentation started during the early years of the Internet and never stopped. Chris also really likes MLP, and has been a fan since 2007: many years before it was popularized in Gen 4.
$40 - Shout out video from Chris $40 - Character drawing. $60 - Both a shout out video from Chris and a character drawing. If you would like a drawing mailed to you, please add $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Update 1
Null later posted an update to the campaign shortly after it had reached its $1,000 goal.
| Thank you for your support in sending Chris to Everfree NW. I also appreciate all the enthusiasm shown for giving Chris an opportunity to make art and do shout outs for this money. I share your enthusiasm and will be organizing your requests so that Chris can easily fulfill them.
If you donated $40+ dollars for a reward, please contact me through GoFundMe with the details of what you'd like your drawing to be, and/or who your shout out should be made to. I'll arrange the shipping of physical orders after the GoFundMe is closed. The final thank you video will also be posted before the convention date (August 13th, probably sooner). I'll keep the GoFundMe open until either the interest has dropped off, or Chris feels overwhelmed by the workload, whichever comes first. Attached is the first request fulfilled as an example.
