Koenig's Star Rising?

The big, floating, stone head offers a tentative plan ...

A Rough Plan:

  • Contact Walter Koenig to get his blessing, agreement to participate, and likeness rights for website. And also to check that no one else has gotten to him first.
  • Set up a non-profit organization with a checking account. Funds to be used for getting Walter his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and costs associated with raising the funds/preparing the event (website hosting, CafePress.com custom shop fees, Amazon.com Honor System fund collection fees, miscellaneous fees associated with application/logistical preparation, travel/lodging for ceremony for organization representatives) with any excess being donated to a charity or charities of Walter's choice.
  • Set up an Amazon.com Honor System PayPage for collecting donations.
  • Set up a CafePress.com store to sell related merchandise (at a slight profit for the organization in order to both raise awareness and fund raise).
  • Set up a website solely devoted to the cause.
  • Promote the heck out of it on as many Sci-Fi venues as possible.
  • Once we hit critical mass on funds (to assure we can cover expenses), initiate application/nomination procedures.
It seems too easy. What am I missing here?
