The Honor Roll (thus far)

Update #3 · Apr 23, 2012 · comment

Not to embarrass anybody, but I have been touched by the generous support of everyone who has thus far donated to our little cause. I'd like to take the first of many opportunities to thank them by putting them on blast as people The Obits love, who have earned their place on

The Honor Roll:

(Uncle) James Voight, Isaac "Rickenblaster" Priestly, Derek "D-Block" Ellsworth, Jessica "Cadillac" Devillez, Adam Linden, Jennie Kennedy, Larissa "Side o' Ranch" Pickens,  Katie Cohen, Janet Shansky, Darla Holtzclaw, Reed Oliver, Aaron Bromberg, Adam Kaye, Phyllis Ivey, Kris "Dig Mr." Brown, Cousin James Gray, Gen Mandola . . .

We're lucky to have your support and hope you dig the record and the special prizes you'll be getting!

We're about 88% of the way. Let's keep the pledges coming, and if you're in Austin, we hope to see you at the big release show on Sat. March 12 at Frontier Bar with World Racketeering Squad and The Rosedale Highs!

Best,

Rich Restaino & The Obits
