Posted project update #8Chloe Caldwell book release party tommorow night!
Post CommentHey friends,
As many of you know, one of the big projects your support helped to bring to life is the new book by Chloe Caldwell, Legs Get Led Astray. It officially comes out on April 3rd (Chloe's 26th birthday) but we're having a book release party for her while she's in Portland this weekend. I think this is one of the best books I've ever worked on. Congrats to Chloe!
Come on out tomorrow (Sunday) night and see her and have a good time. The Portland Monthly just wrote about the event.
And I'm pretty sure I got everyone's rewards out, but if you're missing anything, just let me know. Thank you!!

Posted project update #7Did You Get Your Goodies?
Hi Friends,
Thanks again for supporting us on this Kickstarter campaign. I just wanted to send a quick hello and ask everyone if they've gotten the books, cakes, songs, etc. that you've been promised. If you haven't, I apologize. Please message me here and I'll get it straightened out asap. The newest book on the press, I Remember, was recently released and shipped, so folks who had that book in their package should have it by now. Our next book, Legs Get Led Astray by Chloe Caldwell, will be out on April 3rd and it's already stacking up an impressive number of pre-orders. If you want either one of those books or want to order more stuff from us, please don't hesitate! We love mailing books out to people, no matter where you are.

Posted project update #6Portland Thank You Get-Together!
Post CommentHi Everyone,
First off, I want to let everyone know that we're getting all of the rewards stuff figured out and you'll be seeing your gifts and thank you cards hopefully by the end of December. We're getting our Thank You cards printed right now while we wait for your generous donations to get to our bank account (apparently, it takes about two weeks).
In the meantime, I wanted to tell anyone who lives here in Portland (or thereabouts) that we'll be having a casual Thank You gathering at the Bunk Bar on Saturday, December 17th from 3pm-6pm. We'll have your thank you cards, buttons, books, t-shirts, cakes, and whatever else you have coming to you (Just let me know you'll be stopping by for that and we'll make sure to have your stuff ready for you). Bunk Bar is a great place and kids are welcome during that time. Of course, they have delicious food as well (try their "Debris Fries", as seen below). They're at 1028 Se Water Avenue, not too far from OMSI.
We'd love to see as many of you local supporters there as possible--and of course, we love our non-Portland supporters too. :)
Thank you again!
Kevin, Bryan, and B. Frayn

Posted project update #3The Luca DiPerro Bonus!
Post CommentJust a quick incentive update: The next four people who donate at the $40 (or above) level will get a DVD of this great film by Luca DiPierro. I watched it the other night and it is really interesting, beautiful, funny, and exciting to see so many of my favorite writers in it. Like Gary Lutz, Leni Zumas, Sam Lipsyte, Michael Kimball, and 56 others! Act fast, or tell your friends to! Thanks!

Hi Kevin -- I didn't get my book -- maybe because I was supposed to come to the event at the bar for in-person-pickup and then was unable to be there. If you'd like to save shipping $, I could stop by somewhere (Powells maybe?) and get it. Thanks! Alan
