    We made it!

    Hello Kickstarter friends!

    Georgiana Starlington here to tell you that we made our goal and to thank each and every one of you that made it possible. This tour was funded by you! Doesn't that just make you feel awesome?

    Tour was amazing as well! If you were following our every move on Facebook, you saw how fun it was. If you didn't get to catch that stuff, it's all on our Facebook page. You'll have to do some scrolling, but it's worth it! There's lots of pictures and videos from our travels.

    Toxey and Titus put together a video collage of our SXSW tour experiences, the Texas Tour Trust Tape. Say that three times fast! And enjoy the video!

    Again, thank you so much for your pledge. Your goodies are in the mail so you should be expecting them soon!

    A Very Balthrop Valentine's Day!

    Hello world,

    We're getting closer! We would like to thank everyone who has backed the project so far and everyone that will be backing the project soon. You will really be helping us out a lot. Now, let's just hope that we can reach our goal!

    Tell everyone you know about the project if you haven't done so. Post it on Facebook and Twitter and all those viral networking sites. Let's make this happen.

    Now, for you, a special treat from the town drawer, Toxey Goodwater (nee Michael Arthur). He's created a special video for the upcoming Valentine's show at Joe's Pub set to the tune of "I Look At You". We hope you enjoy it and if you're in NYC on Valentine's Day, we hope you find yourself at Joe's Pub at 7pm for a heart full of new tunes and get this, COVERS!!!! Madness anyone?

    Here's the Facebook invite for the Valentine's show if you want to let us know you're coming.

    THANK YOU!!!

    ♥ Georgiana Starlington
