Update #8: We Did It!

Posted on August 25, 2010

I am overwhelmed with the generosity and support of my friends, family, and fans. Thank you all SO much for backing my project and helping me fund my new full length record! The iPhone Sessions are currently being printed and I am busy putting together other swag (origami, hand written lyrics, etc). Orders will be going out as soon as possible, and I'll be sure to keep you all updated.

Again, thank you so much for your support!
