Update #3: Great Things Are Coming Soon
Dear Blip Festival Kickstarter Supporters,
I am writing to let you know that the remaining rewards for this campaign are coming very soon! As you can imagine, creating a brand new MP3 release, a custom LSDJ cart with unique sav files, and an NES Rom Flyer on a cart can take some time. Especially when you want everything to be completely perfect. We should have everything ready to send out in the next couple weeks or so. Think of it this way, February is lousy. It's cold and dark and there's no holidays or Blip Festival or Spring to get excited about. It's the perfect month for receiving your Blip Festival Kickstarter rewards! So hang tight.
In the meantime, here's something to keep you warm. It's the artist list for the Blip Festival / Kickstarter mp3 release, available exclusively to you all very, very soon. Thanks again for your patience. We really appreciate it.
Artists with tracks on the exclusive Blip Festival / Kickstarter MP3 release:

Update #2: Dear Blipstarter Supporters!
Hello dear and darling Blip Festival Kickstarter Supporters,
First question, did you have a good time?! Thanks to you, the 2009 Blip Festival was the most successful and exciting Blip Festival to date. We hope you had as much fun as we did and that you saw some music and visualists that made your heads explode. Despite being involved with all the logistics, there were one or two acts per night that absolutely caught me off guard and completely blew my mind, so I hope you had the same experience. Or similar.
I want to let you all know that we are hard at work finishing up the rewards for this campaign. Many of you received your (beautiful/incredible/fantastic) visualists shirts at the festival, and I hope you are wearing them every single day (hygiene be damned). All the other rewards (8BP106, LSDJ Carts, NES Carts) are being finished up this week and next, and will be sent to you soon, along with all the visualist shirts that weren't picked up at Blip Festival. Sorry for the slight delay, but between Blip Festival, the holidays, and the mysterious Blip Flu that laid temporary waste to many of the Blip organizers and attendees (i'm sure it didnt have anything to do with lack of sleep, dancing 6+hrs a night, drinking heavily, and wandering around in the freezing cold) we just haven't had time to get them in your hands yet.
If you havent already sent us your mailing address and t-shirt size, or at least email address for the 8BP106 delivery, please do so asap. Happy holidays, and thanks again!
-mike
Update #1: Last week of Blipstarter!
Hello Blip Festival Kickstarter Donors:
This is the last week of the blip festival kickstarter campaign. As you may have noticed, we have hit our goal amount (and then some)....THANKS! If you know anyone who is still interested in getting some of the cool rewards we are offering, such as exclusive passes to the Covox/Random afterparty, limited edition visualist t-shirts, or any of the rest of it, please remind them they only have 4 days left to give!
We are also pleased to announce some extremely exciting news. Just confirmed as the DJ for the exclusive, open bar happy hour before Saturday's Blip Festival concert....STARPAUSE. Is it hot in here or is it just me?!
Besides that, I just wanted to give a heads up that we will not be creating any of the rewards until the end of the campaign, as we wont know how many to make until this is finished. We will also not be requesting information from you (T-Shirt size, mailing addresses, etc) until the campaign is over. So hang in there. You are our loyal fans and we won't forget about you! We just can't start the logistical process of reward fulfillment until the campaign is over. But at that time, all will be made clear.
Thanks for your support. We couldnt do this without you!
-mike and the blip festival team
