Sooo, Selfconfessedcynic brought up the topic of the Allies traveling to TSG with extra funding in the Easy Allies Patron Q&A June video (12:30). They were a bit reserved on asking more funds ("feels gross to ask for more") for traveling but they were definitely not opposed to the idea. Brandon finished with saying: "It sounds like what people want, maybe we can just see the fan sentiment and see how many people are cheering for this".

So if we want to see a full on noodle and broth Frame Trap from an actual Tokyo ramen shop; Don getting his Pachinko on in a Japanese casino; Ben vs Japan playing SF5 in an arcade and Brandon on an epic toys/loot hunt in Akihabara, then lets get ourselves heard!

Ofcourse! I thought of it more like an add-on to Patreon/Twitch funds. Because while patreon is great for the long term/steady income its a bit wonky for short term 'single investment' goals. Another possibility could be donating trough Twitch but I'm not sure that is available yet.

During the final words of today's E3 cast Brandon mentioned maybe sending one of the Allies to Gamescom or Tokyo Game Show (Ben's reaction was priceless). With the current Patreon and Twitch income they could probably afford to send at least one of them to these places. However, wouldn't it be great to send two or maybe three (or more) Allies? I for one would love to see a bunch of Allies coming over to Europe for Gamescom (the European EZA community is quite big) and sending all manga/JRPG maniacs to Tokyo.

So here's what I thought: Like most of you I support the allies monthly trough Patreon. However I wouldn't mind providing some extra funding every once in a while (trough gofundme or something similar) to allow more allies to travel to events around the world. What do you all think? Should we start an EZA travel fund?

The Netherlands. Utrecht more specifically.
