    The Records Are In The Mail!!!

    Hello!

    So the records have FINALLY been sent! You all should be receiving within the next week or so if you haven’t already.

    Just a couple quick things:

    • Info on the release show is coming, so New Yorkers be on the lookout for that soon!
    • If you have a picture of the record’s arrival or you with record, etc. and want to share on facebook/twitter/blogs etc. I would, of course, LOVE that. And if you want to include a link to the bandcamp page where I’ll be doing on-line sales with pic, that would be so awesome as well.

    http://leibyarogers.bandcamp.com

    That being said, feel free to check out the bandcamp page!!!

    • Wombsies: They are in production. I think I bit off a little more than I could chew with the rewards, and didn’t anticipate how much time and supplies it would actually take to package and mail out 100 records, but for those of you who donated to get a Wombsie, you will get one, I promise!

    Okay I think that's it.

    Thank you all so much!! It's been quite a learning experience putting this together, from the fundraising, to putting together the live show, to the production of the album, and I appreciate you all being so patient!

    I hope you enjoy listening,  and more info on release show coming soon!!

    ~Mindy (& Leibya)

    The records are here!!!

    Hello hello!

    There are now 500 12" LeibyaFair Live! records in my apartment! I'm so excited to get your pre-released copy out to you!

    I know all mothers say this about their own, but they're so beautiful!

    If you haven't done so already, please make sure that your correct address is updated in Kickstarter. And yes, there's a download card inside, but I think now is a good time to get yourself a record player. . .

    Personal haiku will be sent along with your record if you haven't received already. And yes, the Wombsies are in production too!

    More info coming on official release date/party/show!

    Thanks so much!
