Update #1: When one is not enough...

Posted on July 19, 2010

Since our first pledge on July 14th, the Kimochi Sound launch project has made excellent progress towards the goal of funding the release of this new vinyl 12" EP. Thank you all for your generous contributions.

It has been brought to my attention that it is not possible via Kickstarter to select more than one reward, but some people want more than one reward. Some people want lots of rewards. So, if you would like multiple rewards, please just contact me via Kickstarter or m50@m50.net and let me know what stuff you would like. I have posted some convenient "bundle" options as well, but even if you select one of those you should still let me know what you would like to receive so that I can make sure it is available for you. If there are other rewards you would like to see offered that aren't available, also feel free to let me know.

For those of you have already pledged and want more stuff, you can still adjust your pledge and reward on www.kickstarter.com

Thanks again for your help, feedback and encouragement. And thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word about this.
