    Special Thanks!

    We want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us reach our goal!!!

    Words cannot express our tremendous gratitude, we love every single one of you! Our album is being released in two days, and there is no way we could have done this without you. Any additional donations will go towards putting out more nifty merchandise for you. Also, this is the ONLY way to get an autographed album apart from coming to a live show.

    Again, thank you all so so very much.

    <3

    Moose, Kit, Careless, and Rook

    Update at the 94 hour mark...

    Just four days left and 301 dollars to go until we hit our goal!
    Thanks for your support good friends, we're almost there!

    To People who have (or were thinking about) donated $50 or more:
    We're almost done putting the finishing touches on the Bonus CD. It looks like it's going to include between 30-40 tracks from 2005-2010 and have over an hour of music! Woot!

    We also have a quick announcement to those who have (or might) donated over $75.00...
    There's some good news and bad news:
    The bad news is that your Special Edition DVD will be delayed in getting to you...
    The good news it's been delayed so we can include footage from our Album Release Show on March 27th!

    Finally: If you have not done so already please email your mailing address to us at: randomencounterband [at] Gmail.com so we know where to send your swag!

    Thank you all again, and best wishes!
