Posted project update #2Getting our rewards to you...
Post CommentSo I've done a couple of swoops through the rewards lists and hopefully have most of you covered. But for those of you who haven't received a reward yet... Zap me a note. It's never impolite to remind me because I can sometimes lose track of all of the things I need to mail.
For those of you who haven't followed us on Facebook, the good news is we scored a great rating on Atlanta's PBS in November. We've got upcoming TV broadcasts in Philly (Dec. 15 and 16) and Portland, Oregon (Jan. 1). Do let me know if you hear your local affiliate is broadcasting DO IT AGAIN. It can be hard to keep track.

Posted project update #1Gratitude
Post CommentWhat can I say. We made it. And we made it a few hours before deadline. All I can say is thank you. I'll be sending out messages to folks about rewards. I'll also continue pushing PBS stations to pick up the film. Our Boston premiere has been wonderful. I keep hearing from people who enjoyed Do It Again. And as we all know, it wouldn't be possible without all of you. Geoff

Posted project update #21Final hours...
Post CommentWe're approaching the final chance to help us meet our Kickstarter goal. As you might know, we need to raise our entire goal in order to receive any of the $1,700 raised so far. So whatever you can do.... And if there's a reward I can provide that you don't find on my list, just write me at gedgers@mac.com to suggest it.

Posted project update #20Boston Magazine coverage, week remaining on campaign
Post CommentAs we approach next week's TV premiere (WGBH, Channel 2 Boston - 9 p.m.), we're starting to get some good coverage. Here's one of my favorite pieces so far, from Boston Magazine.
And now a bit of business. We've got just a week left on our Kickstarter campaign and we're only halfway there. So do whatever you can - $1, $5, $8904 - to help push us over the edge.

Posted project update #19New Reward: Andrew Sandoval package
Post CommentA new reward as we head down the home stretch. Andrew Sandoval, '60s pop authority and the man responsible for the recent slew of Kinks reissues, has signed copies of his definitive book on the Monkees and one of his solo cds. We're 11 days away and half way to our $3,000 goal, so every little bit helps.

Posted project update #18A new reward...
Post CommentDoug Hinman, author of "The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night: Day by Day Concerts, Recordings, and Broadcasts, 1961-1996," has generously agreed to sign copies of his book in exchange for a $60-or-better contribution to our TV Kickstarter campaign.
http://www.amazon.com/Kinks-Concerts-Recordings-Broadcasts-1961-1996/dp/087930765X
This book really is the Kinks bible, the most authoritative document of our favorite band's daily activities. It was a priceless resource for us while making DO IT AGAIN.
Just 16 days to go and we're still inching toward our goal.
