Aloha Chillers, 

Thank you all once again for backing this project, Chill Leisure Lifestyle could not be fully realized without you. A quick recap at where we're at so far: we had a new addition to the mixtape line-up, a last-minute contribution from the realest, Jib Kidder, whose track Fat Cat Snore closes up this chiller soundtrack. Thanks to Ben Hargett of Bargett Box and Dub Narcotic Studio for mastering the mixtape. 

The master went out to National Audio Company shortly after Kickstarter funds were received on our end and after speaking with them today it sounds like we still have another couple weeks left to wait for them to finish and ship the tapes. 

After some fine-tuning with the printer, the book proof has also been approved and will be printed and bound within the next two weeks here in Portland, Oregon. Hopefully the two items will come into NNP HQ at the same time and we can ship your orders out promptly sometime near the end of the month. 

In other NNP news, Stockholm author Kevin Luna was awarded a grant to publish NNP004 from the City of Stockholm the same day Chill Leisure Lifestyle reached funding on Kickstarter. His book Petbooks! is the definitive collection of short fictions written by Kevin from Oakland to Stockholm over the past seven years. The book will be 11cm x 15cm in size and about 150 pages in thickness, printed and bound in Stockholm, Sweden. Estimated to be available at www.nonothingpublishing.com around Christmas. 

In BE Photo + VideWhoa Video news, we shot Unkle Funkle's press photos yesterday at Carpet Funkle Downtown (aka Lake Funkle) to be used in the insert for his 12"LP being released on Marriage Records later this month. 

And just earlier today, the latest VideWhoa in anticipation of Unkle Funkle's LP debuted on GNAR TV. The #bodypositive video stars 99¢  and Fatha Green and was filmed in the MRC corner of the Gnar Tapes Cafeteria and Global Resource Center. Both Unkle Funkle and 99¢ are featured on the CLSM MMXII. 

Thank you all for your patience while we see out the production of this NNP release and expect some extra goodies in your package when it finally arrives in the mail. Expect another update within the next two weeks when production ends and distribution begins and look out around then for a prompt from Kickstarter asking for your shipping information and email addresses so NNP can get you your Chill Leisure Lifestyle package.

Soft mode in power,

Aloha Kickstarters, 

Chill Leisure Lifestyle Catalogue (aka Chill LLC) previewed an initial test copy of the catalogue printed and bound by Publication Studio at the wine table of our friends' Multiplex's first First Thursday event this past week.  Along with the catalogue was a stack of these pretty Chillstarter campaign wallet-sized cards printed with the above image. Art night goers who happened to pick up the book that night were impressed, overheard remarks: "all my beautiful friends vogue-ing" "Ma'am, DAMN!"

We've had a busy week here in Portland for B.Easy Photography + VideWhoa Video for GNAR TV. Just wrapped up two new videWhoas, one for Mope Grooves which was shot at the beautiful and historic Washington High School thanks to some pals at PICA and another for The Memories down along the Willamette River.

Both videWhoas debuting on GNAR TV later this week. Also, CL Summer Mixtape is proud to announce the additions of Fuzz Puddle (Kyle from The Memories and White Fang, sporting the luscious red locks above) and DJ 99¢ to it's lineup! Stay tuned for more track previews this week.

We've got 11 days left on this Kickstarter project, let all your friends, family, and photo and mixtape enthusiasts know! Support soft mode, pledge today :)
