Update #24: Glitches and whining!
Sorry about the music glitches. I finally finished recording and am waiting for the master copy. Then the next stage will be cover and album design. I am hoping to release by Mid May! You are patient with me, thank you!
I will be in Berlin again until April 17th. I leave tomorrow! There is alot going on and it is kind of crazy at times but good and productive. I will get a wav file up for you when I get back as the ones I have aren't the right format.
Kisses to you all!
Rita

Update #22: Postage was a B*tch!
Hello everyone. I am finally decompressing from my return to the states. Berlin was really intense and amazing! Go figure! I learned lots of things, first, that postage was soooooo expensive. Sadly I could not afford to mail anyone from there. But I wrote the letters and cards anyway and will start mailing them out to you this week.
I have also been culling through my photographs to compile a nice slide show for everyone to see the things I saw. I will post this link later next week.
I have NOT forgotten about any of you. I love you all and thank you for your support and patience.
Hugs, Ritischka

Update #21: Leaving in 9 hours to Berlin!
Thanks again everyone. I am going to Berlin tomorrow morning and will be back in three weeks you can follow me on Facebook and I will do my best to post updates here as well. I will send links tomorrow when I have time at the airport during layovers.
I wanted to re iterate that everyone who is getting a cd is getting my first cd and demo for the new one when I get back into town. I have had to reschedule recording till mid January due to my producers scheduling. I want it to sound the best that it can! So I hope you don't mind the wait. ;)
Thanks so much and keep your eye out for postcards and letters in the next few weeks!
Love, Ritischka
Update #20: A reminder...
Thank you everyone, it was a success. Just remember that Kickstarter started officially collecting payments lastnight the 27th of Octobre. Please remember to note this in your accounts.
Once again, thank you ever so much for your pledges, you have been so generous and supportive and I hope to give you good music, pictures and stories over the next 2 months!
Sincerely,
Rita Ritischka

I have a ridiculous pin/button collection. Pins from the 20's, communist pins, punk rock, girly, vintage, silly, even one that says "Get R Done" Yep! It's true! If you pledge this amount I will mail you a couple with a nice little card of gratitude. P.S. I make my own cards! And I will list you in the thank you section of the cd!
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
whew! 50 bucks is still alot of money! So you should really be thanked! I will mail you a signed cd with your name in the thank you section. I will also send you a letter from Berlin with a Tchotchke in it. There are tons of amazing things there I am sure of it! And I just love finding antiques!
Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more
Wow! You are my Superhero! Seriously! So a super hero has to have a mojo right? I will send you a cd, signed, with your name in the thanks section. But, it will come in a package packed with care and a letter and a photograph of something awesome as well as enough of my favorite little Tchotchkes for you to treasure for a longtime. I will also dedicate a song to you on my Myspace Page! I will also do my gosh darnedest to include your town in my spring tour! Even if I only end up touring three towns! Which is a likelihood. Disclaimer (I may have to withdraw this if there aren't enough towns, gas is ridiculous).
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
Being a sponsor for 25% of my project is MONUMENTAL! There should be a statue of you in my home! Honestly. I will cry on camera for this one. Not really. What I will do is send you a cd, signed, with thanks in a package that includes little things I collect and a six foot scarf I made and a lovely weepy gratuitous letter replete with tear stains and smudged words, a postcard from Berlin and I'll even play in your town when I tour the u.s. in Spring time! Finally I will write a song for you based on three words you choose to give me and post it on My Myspace page. Unicorn is a verboten word BTW! Did I mention that I love you for this? Well I do!
