Update #21: $49 for Bus from NYC and Ticket to SAM BROWN for ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY!

Posted on August 19, 2011
EXTRA! EXTRA! 

Read all about it. Goodspeed Offers One-Time-Only Bus Road Trip to 
The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown 
from NYC on Wednesday, Aug 24!

Dear Sam Brown Enthusiasts - 
 

We know how hard it is for people (especially under 25) to get to Chester, CT and we've been begging Goodspeed since we got here to help us make it easier for our fans. Well, our ship (or should we say BUS) has come in! 

For ONE PERFORMANCE only, Goodspeed will send a bus to NYC and drive you straight to the threshold of the Norma Terris Theatre. The singing of FREEDOM is optional but encouraged. The cost is just $49 for your ticket AND transportation. We don't think we have to tell you what a great deal this is. General admission for SAM BROWN is $45 and getting here is near impossible without a car, as I'm sure many of you have already discovered.  
 
In order to make your reservation, you have to call the Goodspeed Box Office. That's right, folks. Your texting device can also be used to talk with live people thanks to Thomas Edison. Stop reading this RIGHT NOW and call them on your phone: 860-873-8668. 
 
There are two very minor catches: 
 
CATCH 1: YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATION IMMEDIATELY. This offer is available between now and Sunday. After that, the offer completely and totally expires. 
 
CATCH 2: We need to get at least 35 people to reserve or we can't do it at all. (Piece of cake, right??)

Guys - here's the deal. Things are going really well here. The show is better than it's ever been. Last night's performance blew the two of us away. Our producers are psyched and we have some really important people who will be in the audience on Wednesday. This matters. This could actually have an impact on the future of this show. Everyone here thinks getting 35 people on board for this offer will be hard. But we know you guys better than that - we think 35 people is nothing. 100 people can fit in 2 busses. Let's show 'em that Kerrigan-Lowdermilk fans mean business. TWO BUSES TO CHESTER!! LET'S GO! 
 
Love, 
K&B

p.s. You can still buy tix the usual way with the SAMFAN code by calling the Box Office. Show runs through next weekend!

Update #20: "It starts as nothing - just a thought or a dream. Then one day you're in the driver's seat. The key is in the ignition..."

Hi everyone - 

Thanks to all the backers who came out last night. It was definitely our favorite performance yet and it was incredible to be able to share it with you guys. Our producers are so excited about the show and the buzz so far has been overwhelming and so positive. We're beside ourselves with excitement and our cast is to die for! We want nothing more than to share this moment with you because your unending support has is what's made this possible for us. 

And so, we wanted to let you know that you can still get $20 tix with the code SamFan for any performance for the entire run of the show. The only catch is that the tix are no longer available online. Tickets are available now through August 28th though there are several shows that are getting very close to selling out so make your reservations by phone now by calling 860-873-8668. 

We have lots of friends and family coming to the shows so we're going to be around for most of the run. If you see us in the lobby, please come say hi!

Love, 

k&b

Update #17: Final Concert in the Tour YOU MADE (... at least in NYC)

Posted on March 25, 2011

Dearest backers!

We have been hard at work making your second album. We've done 4 concerts in just a couple months since OUR FIRST MISTAKE came out. And Sunday, March 27 at 9:45 PM at Le Poisson Rouge (158 Bleeker Street) marks the final NYC performance in our YOU MADE THIS TOUR concert series.

If you haven't bought your ticket yet, now is the time to do it! Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at http://lepoissonrouge.com/events/view/2133 or by calling 212- 228-4854. But for you, our dear backers, we have a discount code. When you buy your ticket, use the code KLFriends and receive $10 off! 

And because this is our last NYC concert, we're having another celebration. This one's before the concert. Please join us at the RED LION (151 Bleeker Street—right across from the concert venue) at 8:00 PM on Sunday BEFORE the concert. There will be drink specials and lots of fun. We'll be there and we bet a few of our talented performer friends will also be in attendance. Then off to LPR to rock out! (For examples of previous rockouts at LPR and other venues see your youtube channel.)

The evening will feature performances from Farah Alvin (Nine, Grease), Michael Arden(The Times They Are A-Changin’), Jenni Barber (The Bridge Project), singer-songwriter Joanna Burns, Miguel Cervantes(American Idiot), Katrina Rose Dideriksen (Jerry Springer: The Opera), Meghann Fahy (Next To Normal), Mandy Gonzalez(Wicked), Greg Hildreth (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson), Natalie Joy Johnson (Legally Blonde), Theresa McCarthy(Titanic), Lindsay Mendez (Everyday Rapture), Andy Mientus (Spring Awakening), Dee Roscioli (Wicked), Michael Winther(33 Variations) and more!

We have tons of other musical surprises and you won't want to miss the WORLD PREMIERE of our first ever music video for RUN AWAY WITH ME. 

So in simple terms:

1. Buy your ticket here http://lepoissonrouge.com/events/view/2133. 

2. Join us at the RED LION at 8 PM on Sunday for a pre-concert party.

3. Come to the concert at LPR and see it live BEFORE the live album!

Can't wait!!

p.s. We know we still owe many rewards. In order to get the 2nd album recorded (so we can get into the nitty gritty details of mixing and mastering and all of that stuff - which takes FOREVER) we had to do this first. Backer rewards to come!!!
