PLOT TWIST
My mantra since high school has been Anything Can Happen and Usually Does. Once again it has proven to be true. As it turns out, I will not be setting out on my sailing journey solo after all. We have taken on crew - a man and a dog. They turn out to be the perfect plot twist for the end of Issue Three, Delta Dingo. I am looking forward to cartooning the challenges of romance, sailing lessons, and a 6 gallon holding tank in a 30' boat in the as-yet-unnamed Issue 4. First noted quote, " I will NOT poop in a cone filled with cat litter!"
But hey, we're still working on Issue One Dock Dorks, and the countdown is now in hours...
Just so you know, I WILL be printing Dock Dorks, even if the KickStarter goal is not met. I'll find a way. It has to happen. But it will be a better process and result if the KickStarter help comes through. Not just for the money. I work harder when I have people to please - and that's you.
So if there's anyone you can think of who might be tickled by this project, NOW is the time to send them a link. It's all over Saturday at 1pm PT.
NEW REWARDS - See the rewards section for how to get a CD copy with J-card of Field Notes by the Jawless Fishes, my nebulous one-time band. Also, I will have a glam 5x7 b&w photo with dingo on La Bonita taken and sign it for you - as if I were somebody.
On Cinco de Mayo, please check on my website for Life After KickStarter. It's been one hell of a busy month and I've learned a ton doing this fundraiser. There will be more videos (with better sound) on YouTube to look forward to now that I have figured out the iMovie application.
Mostly I'm warmed by the support demonstrated and am hugely encouraged to continue with this loopy story of sailing and searching. Thank you All.
