Update #2: Just one day to go!
Wow, you guys have been terrific! Your generosity has exceeded our expectations. Because if that, we will definitely be printing physical CDs with art, liner notes - the works.
So every pledge of $25 or more will now receive a CD as well as a digital download and all the other goodies.
If you gave $10 but would like a CD you still have a day to upgrade your pledge.
We plan to have the album finished by December, and CDs before the new year (gee, what great stocking stuffers those will make.) Our official CD release will probably be in February.
If you're hankering to see us before then, we'll be playing a two hour out-door set this Thursday at the City Reliquary, 310 Metropolitan Avenue at Havemeyer, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Music starts at 8 pm.
Again, thank you so much. Frankenpine loves you!
Update #1: Thanks a million! And why stop now?
First, thanks to you, we've met our goal! We are eternally and profoundly humbled and grateful. Thank you a million times over. Really, you're great. Thank you.
Second, the donations box is still open. That $2,850 will cover our remaining studio time, but we still need to cover the costs of mastering, pressing the album and printing the sleeves. We'd have set a higher target initially, but the way Kickstarter works, we don't get anything unless we meet our goal. Frankly, we weren't sure we'd be able to raise a few thousand bucks and didn't want to set a target we didn't think we'd hit. But, because of you, hit it we did. So let's keep going. We can still use your help.
Thanks again,
The band

Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 13, 2010.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
For your gift of $5, we'll give you a list of knee-slapping banjo jokes with which you can amuse your friends and poke fun (in a good way) at your favorite neighborhood banjo player.
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
If you give us $10, we'll give you access to a downloadable copy of "The Crooked Mountain" as soon as it's ready. And we'll throw in the banjo jokes. And three really cool bits of trivia about the Adirondacks.
Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more
For $25, we'll give you the jokes, the trivia and the album and we'll dedicate a song to you (or on your behalf to someone else) at an upcoming gig.
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
Fifty bucks gets you the banjo jokes, the Adirondack trivia, a copy of "The Crooked Mountain," a song dedication and your own Frankenpine t-shirt.
Pledge $150 or more Pledge $150 or more
If you give us $150, we'll give you all the stuff mentioned above, including a copy of the album and a t-shirt, plus an original Frankenpine poster, signed by the band, and three recipes from our resident chef and current student at the Culinary Institute of America, Andrew Chase. Not only that, we'll even learn a song of your choosing (or try to) and play it for you at a future gig.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
OK, for $500 we'll come over and play at your house for an hour (provided you live somewhere reasonably close to New York City). Throw a party in your back yard and we'll be the entertainment. We won't bring balloon animals or clowns, but we will bring you a t-shirt, a signed poster and a copy of the album, "The Crooked Mountain."
Pledge $1,300 or more Pledge $1,300 or more
Consider this the Platinum Pine gift level. For a donation of $1,300, we'll do anything you want. Well, not quite, but we'll do this: Come to your house (or destination of your choosing) with our chef, Andrew Chase, in tow and play for you and cook a delicious dinner for you and 11 of your closest friends. It will be a night to remember. What's more, we'll give you a copy of the album, a t-shirt and a signed poster. AND, we'll sing your praises—literally—at an upcoming gig.
