Ambergram coin ebay auction #1, benefiting The Mission Continues : $302.50 Editor’s note: A second coin was sold to the second highest bidder in this case, netting another $150. A third was auctioned for around the same amount some time later, but Aimee had all the documentation on the Ebay auctions and this is all I could find. -b&b … Continue reading →

Project Ambergram is almost concluded, with the last of the gifts themselves being delivered to cast and crew shortly. In the mean time, all of our charitable donations have been made! After an ad hoc Twitter poll conducted yesterday, we decided the fairest way to designate the funds was to split them between all charities, giving weight to Alzheimer’s research, our twice previous poll winner. Above the cost of purchasing and shipping the Ambergrams themselves, Fringe fans raised a remarkable $1600 in charitable donations, more than three times our original goal, and funds were distributed as follows: Alzheimer’s Association – … Continue reading →
Happy Fringe Friday!! Tonight we follow Walter (and Peter) down the rabbit hole… In the mean time, things are very much in motion! The coins have arrived, I’m driving down to Austin to pick up the slabs tomorrow, and thank you cards are in production. In case anyone hasn’t seen them yet, here are the photos of the engraved slabs, coins, and cards: I’ll take some more as soon as I get them home. 🙂 And because it takes a lot of trust to send money to strangers over the internet, I want to give you guys … Continue reading →
At only $450 away from reaching our goal, we’re fast approaching the conclusion of our final fan project. We’ll be placing the orders very soon, so if you haven’t done so already, please visit our polls page and give us your input! Polls will be closing this Friday, October 19th, but donations will remain open through the end of the month. We’d really like to be able to make a donation to all four of our wonderful charities, and we know that those donations will mean as much to our recipients as the gifts themselves, so please be as generous … Continue reading →
Hey Fringies, here’s your chance to weigh in on the specifics of the project! Please take a moment to vote in the polls and help us make our final decisions. Poll #1 – engraving: We’ve come up with three options for engraving into the large amber slabs. We can make them all the same, or we can use different phrases for different people. I used Bart’s name in the mock ups, because it’s nice and long. Option A: “There are stories you come across. These bright, bright lights. They drift across our minds, unforgettable. Fringe is one of them. … Continue reading →
So here we are, drawing either too quickly or not quickly enough (depending on which second you ask) towards the beginning of the end. What an incredible ride it’s been. Thinking back on my own experiences over the last few years, just trying to figure out how to express how proud I am of Fringe and its mighty fandom, I’m all goosebumpy again. We’ve done so many amazing things. We searched for Peter Bishop in every corner of the globe. We defied security and raised our White Tulips at Comic Con. We created our own awards when the show wasn’t … Continue reading →
