Update #2: Fantastic!
Dear friends,
I feel like I've just stepped back onto earth from being super elated. Our first Kickstarter Click event I would call a true success.
Each one of you pledging adds huge momentum to Gospel of Judas. This is how it is done. One person at a time. It's hard to take that initial step sometimes, but it gets easier and easier when the folks that begin to support it grow. It will balloon exponentially and we will sit there and say we were there from the inception. Unequivocally without hesitation you will be able to say, I helped make that opera happen.
Without your help I would not happen.
We have more work to do to raise funds for this work sample/demo video and both Rukaman and I are in our respective shows this evening, Ruk at The American Restaurant with Val Price and me at CHESS with some of yall backers!! Including Sally, Ron & Deana and ahem, my MOM!
God Bless!
Nathan (and Rukaman)

Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 23, 2010.
Pledge $14 or more
The Jeffrey Rukaman Mr. Goodcents Quick Lunch. --- (this was Jeffrey's idea! LOL) ----- Take Jeffrey and Nathan out to a quick lunch at Mr. Goodcents! So we can talk to you briefly about how cool the opera is and tell you the synopsis, giving you an in person description of the story. We will be doing this as we all stuff our faces with fresh made sandwiches and fountain drinks. We may ask if you have any questions and if you may want to be more involved with the project...you know, kind of like a time share, only much less pushy and we'll tell you about it in advance. You can always say no. It's all good. *we are neither affiliated nor backed by Mr. Goodcents at this time. I thought it'd be nice to patronize a great KC business...and the whole exchange of coin thing crossed my mind.
