To anyone looking for more context So with 2020 the convention couldn't happen and while they where happy to issue refunds or ticket transfers. They couldn't get back most of the overhead cost that comes with a Convention ( merch, space, tables, agency fees, liscense etc). So they where in the red going into o 2021. Then 2021 happened late into year very close to Christmas so people where alittle tighter with there money. Plus 2021 was still iffy on the Con situation. So they didnt make there money back then. So while alot of there partners where willing to still work with the Pittsburgh Japanese Culture Society. They asked to be paid upfront. So basically they need 60k to operate for this year and 100k to be confident for next year anything else would be gravy. If you have anything to offer we would greatly appreciate it
@@Pory404 I just meant in the future in general. I've already met him once before at the Stampede film but I was super awkward and didn't actually get to talk to him 😅
@@payrollkev3072 You ever seen Komi can't communicate? In all seriousness though what I mean is having an actual conversation and not me awkwardly asking for a photo saying thanks and then walking away.
Comment section of the gofundme brought me here. To those that have donated that dont live in the greater Pittsburgh area and have never attended Tekko... From the bottom of my heart thank you. This con means a lot to so many of us in this area, and it holds a special place in my heart as well as it was the first convention my now Fiance and I attended together... And then 3 years later the one I proposed to her at.
I've never seen your channel before but I saw all the donations mentioning you. Thank you for making this video, and thanks to all your followers for showing up for us. Tekko 2021 was my first con ever and I was so upset when I heard. I want to go to cons every year, not once every few years! I hope I get to see you this year, even in passing!
Donated! Wishing you and everyone at Tekko luck, the anime community is always one that I love to support no matter the location! Also might possibly go since it's not so far! 😄
@@jonathansoriano3568 Lol nah, originally the name was something like Tekkoshocon, roughly translating to something roughly like steel mill con, bc it's Pittsburgh.
I don’t like RUclips and yet I’ve watched at least 100 of your videos probably more like 200 in the last year. This is my first RUclips comment as well. Just keep being you man your my favorite person that I’ve never met.
Living in Pittsburgh myself, i have attended Tekko a few times. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, i dont have a flow of money at the moment so i cant do anything to help, but i wish i could. Here's hoping things go well!
I've lived in PA on the east side and I've never heard of this convention... I feel robbed. I will have to check it out sometime. Let's save this Convention! :)
Not surprising they never put alot of money into advertising. At best you'd run into fliers at comic book stores and stuff like The Exchange. But it's always been lowkey. It's kind of like Otacons little brother thru advertise there
@@DragonicTerror I'm not on the team or anything but I did float the idea that they should use there RUclips channel more. Maybe make fundraising streams an all year around thing to keep money flowing throughout the year. It's a nonprofit organization though so it's tough to get someone with the free time
im from pittsburgh and really wanted to meet you last time but couldnt, was looking forward to the next one, if i can i definitely would try to help fund it.
Even if you don't have the money right now it's good to know the link and spread it around as much as possible. Anything helps even just a voice www.gofundme.com/f/TekkoTogether
Imagine meeting tekking and not knowing who he is, and hiting it off with him. Cause that's the type of person I am. I have a friend irl who did a bit of RUclips, and until he told me it was his channel, I had no clur
Makes me wonder, is this how you picked your RUclips name? No idea what it stands for, but whether it is or not we need to raise enough to make it so that it becomes unofficially known by fans as the Tekking Con because of his efforts to save it!
Completely unrelated. lol. So they got the cons name from the Japanese word "tekkosho" meaning steel mill. Pittsburgh was very well known as the center of the the steel industry in the 19th century. I got my name from a Zoey101 episode so....
@@Tekking101 Alright thanks i’ll watch it also keep up the great content and I have been craving some bleach content if you can make some that would be great

Also if anyone can get this on Rustage and Nuxtakus Radar. We could use as many big anitubers on this as possible
BONUS: right now Schell Games (developers of AmongUsVR) are matching donations so if you got now you can do double the good
Tekko Deeznuts
@@mystogan4542 there is no Meme give me your money
Update!
They just crossed 50k! We're so close to having Tekko 2022 on schedule. And half way there for the future! Keep it up guys!
I thought Tekko was going to be revealed as your Dark Alter Ego.
so I wasn't the only one lol thought he had a Mikey thing going on.
Same 🤣
Honestly that’s probably William, since he’s definitely not a saint in one piece dnd.
A little late on that arc.
Haha same
As a fellow resident of PA who lives by Pittsburgh I will assist in keeping this event going. Hopefully I'll be able to meet you there Tekking 😄
I wish you guys the best, hopefully Tekko Will survive
He did say he didn’t know if he is gonna attend this year so

Hopefully it can be funded enough to continue. Even if its smaller then expo its great for people who cant make it to more expensive ones
If we can get this on Rustage, Nuxtaku and any other Big Anitubers Radar it would be amazing.
We of Tekko are trying to spread this as far as possible
I’m sorry about this, but i don’t trust Nux, too help with something like this just saying.
@@joshshrum2764 I was just spit balling in all honesty. I'm desperate to save the con

Matt you're a literal living legend I. This community love how real and generous you are ♥️ got no money to help sadly but hope it goes well
Your such a good fucking dude! I'm donating 100% Much respect tekking101
Tekking you should do a charity stream and raise money for it if possible
Tekking should be the mascot for Tekko
Actually the mascot is a giant robot. But I do think it would be great if Tekking panels became a staple of the convention
Thanks for making a video about this!! Donated already days ago and glad to see someone with a huge following helping out.

$40,495 USD raised of $100,000 goal!
Thank you for a great video guys
Love the video and keep up the great work tekking
Lets go save tekko
Wait a minute.........
Tekko isn't a Tekking101 Convention, as in a Convention all about Tekking101.
I thought it was all his by association

I appreciate it
Good thing you Tekko'd bout it.
Hope it all works out

I've donated already, but im donating again. I've been to tekko 14 years so far and I swear this won't be the end!!!
Wow, 500.... you're awesome.
I helped with 10.
(I'm not sure if I wrote correctly... I'm from Israel)
Save the tekko.
Good onya Matt. I hope they can raise enough.
I'll do my best!
I live on the east side of PA, I would love to see you one day thats so close to me, take my money Tekko!
Hope they can make it
Can’t donate but will comment to help with the algorithm

I will help!!
I grew up not far from Pittsburgh and used to go all the time befor I moved out to Oregon.. would be very sad to see it go

I went to Tekko in 2014 and did an AMV spotlight there. Always wanted to go again because it's only a few hours away. I hope they're able to do it!
17 min after he dropped it went from the 33k he mentioned to 40k :)
Tekkin i just donated and also, if you mange to go I'll also buy a ticket to attend! Lets save tekko!

I had always wanted to go to this con. Wish I could help.
Mega Ran performed there? That's dope.
Yes! 2021 was actually Mega Ran's second time performing at Tekko.

I'll donate. What days are you going to anime expo? I would love to meet you there. I've been watching you for years!
Cant donate as I'm moving. But I can leave likes on both to help circulate.
I wonder about Blackbeard bounty.
Nice skycrawler cosplay
