    It has begun!

    WE DID IT!!

    Thanks to every single one of you, we are now filming our dream video for Jon Drake and the Shakes.  That's right -- YOU!  We couldn't have done it without your help. 

    We started Day #1 of production yesterday.  A magical night full of puppets and dancing and a gorgeous diner.  We can't wait to show you footage!

    Awards for all of your donations will be coming soon! And so will more updates on production :)

    Thanks again! We can't say it enough!!
