Dear Kickstarter Supporters,
Our guestimation of mailing out your Rewards was set for mid-October. Needless to say we were decompressing. We will be mailing out all finished Reward gifts this afternoon for you on this day of welcoming back the light! Some rewards may still be in process, so we'll send them to you upon completion.

Happy Solstice from all of us at Chico Urban Artists Collective!

xoxo,
CUAC

P.S. I have done my best to contact everyone who donated to our Kickstarter project. I did not hear back from everyone, so if you contributed, want your Reward gift, and haven't heard from me, please contact me. You can do that through your Kickstarter account, our Facebook page, or email info@chicourbanartistscollective.com . This project was possible thanks to your generous contributions and support, and for this we all thank you!

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS!!!!

See . . . Anything is possible! And it's possible because of all of you! Thank you everyone for your contributions, inquiries and support. 

Things are still moving right along. Monday we had a meeting to get clear on the exact details, our needs and figured out the budget for each 'department.' Therefore we're at a point where the project is divided into a handful of teams which have team leaders or project managers. This is going to expedite things exponentially, leaving the detail decoration ambiance stuff to do. We are on track!

Rewards. I've had some questions about rewards. We will be able to start working on the rewards after we acquire material. My guestimation is that you can anticipate receiving your rewards via mail in October.

The Intergalactic Transporter will be stopping daily at The Hang Out. Any questions, please email! You're welcome and invited to help us at the warehouse too.

Once again, a big hug and kiss to all of you! Thank you one and all. We appreciate you so much. We'll be documenting our progress and future projects on our website. Look for the updates on "As The Warehouse Turns."

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Update #7 · Jul 28, 2011 · comment

Recent accomplishments: Inner staircase from the first-floor inner chill space to the upper deck, the entry stairwell, inner benches, wings, and cattle guard are now in place! Collecting foam as we speak and we have the love seat for the front ready for installation. We've been enjoying the plethora of tag-team cutting efforts and appreciating the growing solidarity and team work.

Working on the practice of the Ten Principles in our day-to-day: Radical Inclusion, Gifting, Decommodification, Radical Self-Reliance, Radical Self-Expression, Communal Effort, Civic Responsibility, Leaving No Trace, Participation, and Immediacy.

With only a few days left, we work even harder and believe that anything is possible!

6 GLORIOUS DAYS LEFT PEOPLE!! SOMEONE GIVE ME THE BULLHORN. NOT MY BULLHORN, NOT MY PROBLEM!

YOU TOOK THE SHIP WITHOUT PERMISSION NOW YOU'RE LITERALLY GROUNDED. IT'S UP TO YOU TO GET $3500 DONATED TO YOUR KICKSTARTER FUNDRAISER! THE UPDATE IS . . . ALLAYOU HOLD THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MAKING THIS A REALITY. THE MOTHERSHIP HAS NO MORE ALLOWANCE MONEY FOR YOUR INTERGALACTIC TRANSPORTER. YOU'RE HALF WAY THERE - DON'T GIVE UP!

More bracing has been engineered and is now attached. Inner seating and storage is built in awaiting to be framed in and brought out. We found a cattle guard, which is perfect! The upper deck has been cut out to suspend the VIP / DJ platform over the cab. New sound and light technologies are currently under development.

Over and out.

This project would not be possible without each individual's skills, tool belt, experience, expertise and input. Folks are pouring their heart, soul, time, sweat, tears and money into this. Why? To go Home.
