    Hi All. We're in the process of gathering all the info from everyone. If you haven't already let us know what size, color shirt you want, or which LP or CD, please do so. We can't place the order for all the stuff until we have everyone's requests. We'll get everything out the door as soon as possible - thank you for being so patient. We're working on a way to get any extra funds needed for international orders (if you didn't already pledge extra) and will be in touch about that soon. We're also preparing for the acoustic tour -- so lots to do! Thank you guys again and again for your contribution to this project. It's made a huge impact! xo Asobi Seksu

    Hi Diana - since the UK tour has ended we've adjusted the 'dinner' reward. We're offering dinner in New York City sometime in January or February, plus tickets to the NYC acoustic show and lots of other goodies. Are you based in New York? Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. We love you!

        Great video! What's it like playing in a venue like that, versus clubs and theaters?

        Wow! I live in LA, but when I was backpacking through Europe 12(!) years ago I caught a gig at the Manchester Apollo. Holy crap thanks for bringing back some great memories. Hope you're enjoying yourselves and White Lies - they are awesome. So are you guys of course.

    Hi Luis - the $30 international shipping charge applies only if you make a pledge that includes vinyl. For buttons/postcard the international shipping would be $10.

    wow thank you guys so much. this kickstarter experience has been amazing so far - it's really a great send-off to tour. we're leaving Monday night for England. hopefully the pledges will keep coming and we'll make our mark so we can pay off our credit card after the tour. plastic is dangerous!
