“I met him through Alan Cumming. And, OK, here is another reason why Middle America will hate me [laughs]: Alan Cumming rented out a section of Disney World, the water park, for his 50th birthday, and that’s where I got to meet Darren. Both of us met in very skimpy bathing suits, on a waterslide. He professed his great love for my work, and every time I run into him subsequently, he’s always so enthusiastic about music and stuff. So I contacted him and he didn’t hesitate. He wanted to do it right away, so. Now, it so happens to be coinciding with his meteoric rise to fame, so some god is smiling upon us.”

Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)

To anyone interested in the site but can’t afford to donate, there are a few users in the replies who are offering to give away extra registration keys that they’ve purchased! And if you are someone who has extra links you aren’t using, you might want to reply to this post so others who are looking for links can find you. 🙂

If anyone’s got a spare code, I’d love you forever (if I don’t already 😉 )

If anyone needs a spare code, I have 6 (or 7). You can send me a DM :).
