Hey, first I want to say congratulations on your project and vision. I'm glad that you are creating your vision - sort of why I'm writing to ya. I started my project and I am raising money but not at the rate I would like. What has your fundraising efforts be so successful? Get back at me when you can, and soon, por favor!
Love and blessings always...

COME TO DC, SARAH! THE PARTY IS HERE...9/10!
I was hitting refresh as the seconds counted down. Now I kind of feel like we need a party.
Who will be the 100th backer?
Over $5000. Yeah!
Sarah Wilkes is a 5 star god.
Okay, upped my pledge. Only $19 more to go. We can do this!
Yeah, lets get this thing over 5G. This shit never happened to Jerry Lewis.
2 more backers, 150 less. i agree it's a wait because the album is already out. but you can listen to it on http://www.mbvmusic.com/2010/08/13/listenmbv-someone-still-loves-you-boris-yeltsin-let-it-sway/28270 , there is no reason to back out unless it's due to finance issues. you don't want to break the bands bank do you. lets see this over the 5,000 mark soon.
Holy crap, did your tally shrink? Are your backers "unbacking" with seven days left. It is not over yet! Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! I think everyone should add ten dollars to their donation, so the band can continue to stamp out fascism wherever their van might take them.
I'd call it Kipper.
Why not, Vladimir Putin?
Love the choice of song for the vid! Congrats on making the goal.
My choice for van name: The Hag
I would name the van Bob Saget.
if you get a van that's color is remotely close to red, you should name it "big red machine."
Your van's name: Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla. Cause saying all those nouns over and over can really wear you down.
Name it "Prevost."
If the last vans name was Buff, name the new one Biff. Or buffer
Van names? Merle.
glad to see you coming to dallas in november. can't wait to see the van you bought. also i encourage people to still give money so they can get a quality van.
A TOUR BUS!
Now we are talking, Jimmy, Buddy-Boy, We like the way you think. You've got potential. We are going to keep an eye on you.
Do each of our contributions now instigate a share in Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin? Haha ;P . A van is good. A tour bus is better! Someone still loves you SSLYBY x
couldn't think of a better group of musicians to fork over a paycheck to.
Straight up ballin. If I could give all my money to these guys I would.
I am so happy that you guys have raised so much so quickly! Wish I could give more but I am hoping that my contribution helped!
Maybe you should show your benefactors pictures of the $3800 van along with pictures of the van you really want. In that way, your kind, good-looking and intelligent fans will continue donating generously after you've reached your all too humble, unimposing (and perhaps underestimated) goal. I think lots of people still love you Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, but they are just waiting for their next paycheck.
Good luck! You're going to need some money for shipping all that cool stuff too. Really wish I had the money for a photo or painting. I love those photos you took on your European tour a couple years ago.
you guys are gonna have a van liggity split just like that
Wow! Thanks for all the support! We found a van for $3,800, but we're going to start looking for a better one. Something under 100,000 miles would be nice... We're going to start canvassing the classifieds this weekend.
Maybe SSLYBY already found a van and they're just $3,800 short........anyways, good luck guys!
Maybe you should raise the cap of your goal and get a better van, maybe one with brakes.
Not that I could afford it, but what if you guys had one $500+ level pledge where the backer gets to name the van?
Beset of luck, guys. I hope, at $3,800, this van doesn't already have 98,000 miles on it. See you in NYC @ the Bowery.
If we get on the guest list, does that mean we get to meet you guys?
I'm just flabbergasted you found a van for only $3,800....
Good luck, guys! Hope to see you in DC in the fall.
Thanks for always being nice to Joe.
