Save Mr. Gasoline!

1. About me
My name is Coen Aerts. If there's one thing I picked up from my education as historian it is the message of Huizinga's Homo Ludens. About the essence of playfullness in culture and society. Now, 'playing'is what I like to do best and sharing that seems to make people want to play along! Here's my recent story in a nutshell: 

2016 was a tough year for me. My father and two close friends died, my five year relationship came to an end and I had to leave my job at the TV.

2017 was transformative. Emotions hit the surface and every cell in my body craved for adventure, leaving everything behind and enjoying life in its purest form. I fused my passions biking and performing, created THE GASOLINE BAR and drove to Norway and Spain.

2018 will get me even further.. You might help to reach that goal!

2. About Mr. Gasoline
THE GASOLINE BAR is an interactive performance installation based on Mr. Gasoline and his motor-bar-dancing-karaoke-slotmachine mobile named HORNY.

Mr. Gasoline might be the most sleezy, cheecky and charming weirdo you'll ever meet. He invites people into his reality and thereby makes them confortable trespassing their own comfort levels. Put anything into his little slotmachine and you might win the jackpot! A ticket for the route 69 - a ride on  HORNY with some motor oil of course, No jackpot for you? You'll get a prize anyway; a shot of organic energy-drink based on Guayusa - his Gasoline!

3. About the crowdfund
Although performing is my work, it is also my life, my passion. I'd be happy to perform up to 30 hours on Boom and  Nowhere festival 2018 without being paid for my artwork. The love it creates in return is priceless! Still I simply don't have the recources at the moment to cover all the costs below by my self. Boom will cover some expences though, just enough to get there from Zaragoza.. 

Everywhere Mr. Gasoline performs, people declare their love for him and HORNY. Please grant others this experience too and help me to get on the road! Give me the confirmation I need, that the love I descibed above goes beyond words alone. <3
