Update #8: Lost Lander Telethon Episode 6

Posted on June 30, 2011

Telethon Lock-In Episode 6

Thanks to your help, we made our goal of $7,000 before the deadline!

Things were about to get REALLY ugly down here at the telethon.  Let's just say that we are excited to go home, take a shower, hug our children/wives/cats, and eat for the first time in 7 days.  And because of YOU we can.  THANK YOU!!!

There are a couple of hours left and the grand total continues to climb (!).  Stay tuned for the final score and for information on receiving your rewards.

Update #6: Lost Lander Telethon Episode 5

Posted on June 27, 2011

Telethon Lock-In Episode 5 

There's really no other way to say this - the situation has become downright DESPERATE down here at the lock-in.  Perhaps we were a little over-confident when we decided not to bring enough food and water to last the entire month.  Maybe we should have brought along a doctor.  But rest assured.  We are determined to hang on until the end!

We need to raise $1,625 in the next 3 days or we won't see a dime of the $5,375 we've received in pledges already.  Thank you SO much for giving if you already have.  If you'd like to do more, we've noticed that when donors reach out to mailing lists and Facebook we always see a bump in activity.  Any little bit helps.  Thanks!

Lost Lander is a new project founded by songwriter / forester Matt Sheehy, produced by Brent Knopf, and features Dave Lowensohn, Sarah Fennell, and Patrick Hughes. Matt Sheehy began the project at the beginning of 2010 after returning from tour with Ramona Falls, for whom he plays guitar along with Brent and Dave.

The debut album, DRRT, explores the modern dilemma of being both helplessly addicted to our technology and of being overwhelmed by it. The album also questions what it means to work with our hands vs. our minds.

Guest musicians include Dana Janssen, Holly Sheehy, Lucia Conrad, Nick Jaina, Seth Olinsky, Scott Magee, and Sean Flinn among others.
