    Catalog is Printed!

    I will have catalogs on hand for those coming to the Tether opening tomorrow. Otherwise please bear with me—once I get past the exhibit opening I will start mailing out books, probably as soon as next week!

    There's been a lot of great press on the exhibit already:

    New Reward Added ~ THUNDERBITCH Poster by Clara Sims

    Plucky Clara Sims, to express her love of THUNDERBITCH, took it upon herself to create a poster for the show! The resulting debutante poodle silkscreen captures something I can't quite put my finger on. But you can, along with a catalog, for a pledge of $40 or more. The poster is two-color, 12.5 x 19", and signed by Clara. 11 are available here from an edition of 50. This is the last treat I think we'll offer up before the fundraiser ends. See more of Clara's work here: http://www.iamnotcarla.com/

    pledge level added

    Thanks to everyone who has pledged support to the catalog already! I just added a $25 level that includes a single by Rachel Carns for her band The Need, but there's only 2 available (cover image posted here).

    I also noticed that my wording for the $30 level isn't clear—it includes both the catalog & a SubPop CD for that price.

    Please spread the word to your friends...!
