I'm sure that many Sellabandees, myself included, are already planning to celebrate the first anniversary of Sellaband at the concert in Paradiso the 16th of August. We all wish that by then we can also celebrate the 8th or 9th artist to make the 50k, but many won't realize that by that time we may also be celebrating the first million US$ invested! This calculation is based on some rough statistics: the average growth is about $4000 a day and starting from around $900000 today that will be 25 days from now. Of course, summer holidays can spoil the fun, as the actual daily increase ranges from a high $6000-$8000 right before an artist hits their target to only about $600 (right before Mandyleigh started her final leg of the journey). Given that the Paradiso celebration party is still 42 days away though, I'd give the million a 90% chance by then. And that's based on no calculations whatsoever! I only feel sorry for the Sellaband team, because since the first money has already been spent on making some fine CDs they can't pile it all up at their offices as in the photo! (VB)Edit 13/07/2007: My estimates in this post were rather conservative. The way things are going now, the first 1M should be reached before the end of July!
