Up next ...
Party people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But of course none of the expenditures used to celebrate will be drawn from your contributions ;) I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the pledges that have now become the fuel for this hopeful project. In the coming week I should receive my first mixed song and I fully intend to share it with you through this 'Update' system. Please please please stay tuned and in touch with my updates because in the near future I will be requesting your e-mails and mailing addresses in order to deliver ya'lls gifts. I wish I could say I'm reveling in the glory of having successfully funded the project but to be honest I'm just thinking about all of the things I need to do and stay on top of in order to make this all worth while. Pray, light a candle, and say ten Hail Mary's that I would be wise and faithful with the gift you all have given me. Yours truly.
Love,
Miguel

The book will also include lyrics to the hit songs that you can reference while you're driving your car and listening to the album. (Just don't text or tweet that you're doing so).

If you've never known what it's like to be a part of the 1%, you will once you've dedicated yourself to this sort of philanthropy ... There's no reward I can think of that appropriately recognizes the significance of such generosity. However, we've got to put something in your hands. Sooooo, you will receive the original Shakespeare. If you don't know what I'm referring to, let me tell you. When I was 18 I bought my first acoustic-guitar with the money I had saved from a painting job. It's a black-bodied dreadnaught made by Epiphone and it's the inspiration to the song "Shakespeare In My Arms" off of my first album 'Belly of a Whale'. I learned how to play on this guitar and if any of you have the heart to contribute at this level, well, I'll learn how to graciously give it away. It will come signed with a wee love note. Oh and did I mention you'll get everything offered above.
Estimated delivery: Dec 2012
