    Final day to make this happen!

    Hey everyone -

    We've got less than 8 hours to go to raise enough money to allow my band to play at Sonny's next Monday.

    We're up to about 60% funded.  We need to raise just another $252 in the next 8 hours.  Can you please text and phone your favorite people and ask them to pledge today?

    It'll be a great night with a great band on August 15th, but only if we can fund the Kickstarter by tonight!

    Thanks,

    Solomon
