Hi Everybody,

Just a note to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you. We have reached EVERY NEW GOAL we have set. Thanks to YOU, our backers. No more appeals now, just a shout out to you - and a celebration of what we've all done together.

Your funding has given our project a REAL SHOT at success. 

Gratitude is too small a word for what we feel. 

From the bottom of our heart- abundant thanks....

Scott and Fred

Hey guys,

We're ALMOST there....Just FOUR MORE DAYS to get to $60K!

Surely, we can do this! EVERYTHING HELPS....

Make our record one that will stand! (At least for a while) 

C'mon $60K.  Whoo-hoo!

Thanks for everything,


Scott

Hey Everybody,

Too much success can be a bad thing!:)

We've only had three pledges in the last THREE days! 

Way too slow for our successful project! With ONLY SIX DAYS to go we won't break $60K at that rate- which is the new goal.

This SHOULD be doable....

Let's think outside the box for friends who 

(a) need a tax deduction 

(b) Love the Arts or Broadway 

(c) love classic music (or Harold Arlen in particular) 

(d) are tired of movie re-treads on Broadway.

Any of these are GREAT reasons to support this project!)

If you have a few moments today (or want to start an office "Support Classic Broadway" Day tomorrow)  We will LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Happy Sunday...

Scott

Hey everybody....

Well we've got ONE WEEK TO GO....we still can make it count!

Workshops ARE VERY EXPENSIVE- and we will now be able to DO a presentation which is marvelous and a big, big relief frankly. But to do the A-1 PRESENTATION we'll need to keep raising more money here in New York after this funding cycle closes. 

So we can't AFFORD to waste this FINAL WEEK. The more we raise now the SOONER this show gets on the road!

Let's at LEAST get this puppy to $60K.

We are ONLY $2700 away....I know we can do this! 

SHARE YOUR PASSION for this project! Download some Harold Arlen music! That alone should be inspiration enough! 

Let's put this man and music front and center on Broadway...

Let's FINISH STRONG!

Much love and GRATITUDE,

Scott Thompson (and Fred Barton)

GUESS WE NEED A NEW GOAL! Here Comes $60K

Update #21 · Jun 8, 2011 · comment

Hey Guys,

Yesterday was a banner day! Our BIGGEST grossing day in quite a while....

And now we're at $57K.  But that's such an ODD number isn't it?

Wouldn't $60K just SOUND BETTER? 

9 DAYS TO GO GUYS- 60 is WAY doable! Especially if we get some of your friends on BOARD.

PLEASE- help us do that!

Thanks for EVERYTHING....

Scott Thompson
