LIVE from Odessa Ukraine it’s Rick Butts!
Notice the American Christmas music playing in the background of the video. Why is this particularly interesting? Because it’s January 5th. Ukrainians celebrate Christmas on January 7th (their big holiday is New Years – a lot more like our Christmas traditions with family, gifts, and warm seasons wishes. Then at midnight they go out and get crazy drunk and burn the GDP of the entire country in gunpowder in excessive fireworks EVERYWHERE until dawn.
In this video I give you a bit of an update on what I’ve been up to Ukraine as the last two weeks before I have to either get on the return flight to Denver or stay in the country illegally.
American’s can stay in the country 3 months on a passport here, no visa needed. But, if you don’t leave they are very unlikely to hunt you down and deport you, but they pretty much will notice when you go go to LEAVE the country and you get a hefty $200 fine. (Hefty is humorous)
Making the film has been an amazing experience, and we’ve decided to deploy it in a very unusual way to leverage multiple streams of income from the content. I’ll be talking about that more in The Stardust Factor for members.
I’ve avoided doing live video stuff using the Youtube Webcam recording function, mostly because I think it is a bit intimidating for most of you to actually see a real male model up close like that, but I overcame my congenital shyness and gave it a go. Do you like the live off the cuff thing. (As if I ever prepare anything ON the cuff!)
Please leave your comments and/or questions about Ukraine or the film below and I’ll try to get back to you pretty quickly.
