    we made it!!!!!!!!!!!

    you all are awesome!
    thanks for your support.
    but, it's not over yet---send your friends, family, and all those people that you send emails to a note about the "rebuilding of the set" project.
    it would be a tragedy if we had to do this awesome show with a table and a chair!!!

    a note of thanks.

    hey-
    so, i'm happy to say this looks like it's working! the word is getting out and things are coming along.
    this afternoon we have a meeting to discuss exactly how the set needs to be changed in order to make the 30 minute changeover.
    i'm hoping to be able to post some drawings and such of how that's gonna work.
    meanwhile, pt 3 of the trilogy is alive and kicking at st. ann's warehouse in dumbo. here's a link to the new york times review: http://theater2.nytimes.com/2009/05/27/theater/reviews/27succ.html...

    more soon,

    ok- i'll just write it!

    hey everyone. looks like i've reached my limit for video uploads so i'll just tell you what's going on.
    first, thanks for the continued support and new backers. continue to spread the word to all you know. if we can get all our friends and all their friends to give $1 or $5, we can raise this money faster than you think.
    Also, i got an email from john hodgman the other day and he says the following:
    "500 gets you a song from Cynthia anywhere in the five boroughs. Add another 250, and I will, additionally, call you ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD and sing you a Cynthia song."

    so there you have it.
