Kickstarter

Hello everyone,

It's that time. PRISM index #2 is getting its final touches. I'm busy hand-sewing up all of the copies. Starting Sept. 26th copies will begin to be mailed out. It takes time to sew each one of these together, package, and mail them. Thank you for being so patient, you may have to wait a week or two for your issue or reward to arrive but be aware that it is real and it is coming at you.

Thanks again for all of your support and generosity. This could not have happened without you. I hope you enjoy the final products and please feel free to send any responses you have toward the issue. I'd love to hear your reactions.

Recently I did an interview with VICE magazine about PRISM index. It's a silly interview that gives a little more context to the project. If you haven't seen it yet, please check it out and leave some comments on the page to up its profile.

Thank you so much for all of your support and generosity. Kickstarter has been a completely positive and reaffirming experience for me and PRISM index.

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are in our final hours. 19 to be exact.

I've just added a few bonus items from Arrington de Dionyso of Old Time Relijun and PRISM index #1. He makes these fantastic handmade records. They're lathe cut and hand-painted. They are also packaged with a CD-r of unreleased demos. The stuff includes throat singing, Indonesian punk, weird vocal exercises, and more. Two of them have just been added to the right column and images are below and in the main summary page.

Thanks again. I honestly couldn't have done this without you!



We made it! $7,308 and counting. Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared, and championed the word of PRISM. All of your genorosity and support has warmed my heart up and makes me want to keep shooting for the stars. Long live weird physical objects!!!

Not only are we funded, but there are 3 days left on the Kickstarter campaign and plenty of wonderful rewards still available.

PRISM index #2 is $30 and you get an 80 min CD, 95 min DVD, 88 page book, handsewn into a handmade, silkscreened cover.

Fresh and wonderful artwork from Mel Kadel, Lola Dupre, Jessica Wassil, Arrington de Dionyso, Michael Hurley, Jed Collins, and myself.

T-shirts from Bill Plympton, Jeffrey Brown, Matt Furie, John Malta, myself, and Michael Hurley.

There are two Make-Ready stock books left. Where all the weird run-off paper with funky test colors are sewn together and hand-painted for your holding and hugging.

One-of-a-kind Metal Plates from PRISM index #2 printing are still available. You can get the actual art from the books that have been ripped to plates and inked up!!!

CD's, DVD's, Zines, Comics, and artists from PRISM making YOU a mix-CD.

Get em in the next 3 days folks. It's not over yet.

Again, thanks so much for helping to make this project a reality.

Much love,
PRISM

If you would like to pledge and receive multiple rewards please email me at editor@prismindex.com.

It has come to my attention that you can only "alter" your pledge and not make separate purchases.

What we can do:

If you figure out all the rewards you would like to receive, please pledge the TOTAL amount on ONE of the selections. Then email Jeffrey at editor@prismindex.com with the specific details of what you want.

i.e. You want the hilarious t-shirt by Matt Furie ($25) AND a copy of PRISM index #2 ($30). Pledge $55 to PRISM index #2 (the $30 level) and email me explaining you want the shirt and PRISM index #2!

The end!!!

Happy 5/16/11

(p.s.) Mel Kadel's beautiful hand-colored print is still available. Last one left on the market!

Thank you so much everyone for your support. We're a little over 40% to our goal. $3000 with 30 days to go!

There are still many, many gifts to go around from original artwork by Michael Hurley, Mel Kadel, John Malta, myself and more. Silkscreened T-shirts by Jeffrey Brown, Bill Plympton, Matt Furie and more. The ACTUAL metal plates used to print each page of the book! Plus, tons of copies of PRISM index #1 and #2.

Anything you can do to help spread the word about PRISM index, like flooding your friends with a constant stream of updates, rants, pontifications, etc. would be appreciated. We like being associated with crazy.

Yours truly,

PRISM
