A big thank you from the Chairman (Patreon)

Hello all, Harloff here. I just wanted to make sure you all knew how all of us here are so excited to have you all as supporters of the Schmoedown. You all have kept the Schmoedown going for the last year and a half and what a year and a half it has been.

We have seen the evolution of the live events, more people at the desk, new belts, new crew, more writers, more editors etc... It is your support and this amazing fan base that allows us to keep doing this fun game show that began on the Schmoes Know Live show in 2014.

We have so many plans and ideas and we are thrilled that you guys are with us along the way. This season has lived up to the moniker of the Magic Season and it isn't even half way done! We have two big tournaments coming up, live events in San Diego, NY, Arizona and Orlando! There are some fun exhibition matches coming and let's not forget about The Spectacular in December. I can't believe this is the 4th Spectacular. Crazy.

You are all the life blood of this show. When I announced in the start of 2018 that we would need to start this Patreon in order to survive, you all answered the call and supported as the Schmoedown strong. I am proud of what we offer here because we want to make this a go to source of entertainment for you all, the same way you would get entertainment out of any other streaming service. 

Emma Fyffe is just a damn dream. She is really legendary when it comes to communicating with all of you and finding out what you like, dislike, want more of, less of and she care so much. I have been blessed to be able to work with both her and Brianne Chandler who put their hearts and souls into this. I am always humbled when I realize how much the Schmoedown means to so many people.

My goal is to give you all more programming. I am aiming to create shows with your favorite competitors and I already experimented with it last month to see how it would go. We set up a Q and A with competitors and then the pre and post shows for Collision and it seemed like you all enjoyed it a lot. It made me realize that a Comic Book Movie Q and show with Kalinowski and Cushing and Smets could be a blast. I want to get myself and Ellis back on camera together more and think this new format could do just that.

I have been talking with Brett Sheridan and he and I will also be doing a show together. I want to do a behind the scenes of the Schmoedown. I know Bateman is down among others who will appear. 

My goal is mid to late August to get all of this going. It is something that excites me and I think will get all of you excited as well. My overall plan is that the Schmoedown has its own studio shooting non-stop programming but in all due time. For now, I think this plan works and I hope you do too.

So I write this to let you all know that YOU are all making this possible. The support you have given to us and give to us monthly allows us to make this thing the best it can be. I hope you all see what we are aiming for and this is still just the beginning. 

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. This is my baby and you guys are helping it grow.
