Update #10: Has everyone received their Kickstarter packages?
Hey everyone,
Happy holidays! I was just checking to make sure that everyone has received their Kickstarter packages. I know that that some packages got lost in the mail and I had to resend them. Which is awesome. Hopefully, someone somewhere is enjoying their pilfered Get Set Go albums. So I am posting a last call for missing packages or downloads. I check this site about once a week now, so please be patient if you respond. And for those of you who had to wait so long to receive your packages, I again apologize profusely. The album release was a success and we are currently at 141 on the CMJ top 200. So that's good news.
Warm Regards,
Mike TV
Update #9: Sending out premiums this week!
Hey everyone,
Again, thank you so much for your patience. The funds have been released to us and already we're busily working on the college radio campaign, the next ep, and a small tour in November to be followed by a full national tour in January/February. (Yes, I know, cold months to be touring. Bleh. But we're planning on doing another in the early Spring, late-Spring, early Summer and late-Summer. So lots of touring in our future.)
I am going to be putting together packages over the next few days and hopefully, they will be mailed out on Saturday. Again, if you haven't provided me your mailing address, please do so at getsetgodownloads@gmail.com. Thanks again for your patience.
Warm Regards,
Mike TV

Update #8: Sending out Downloads today!
Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for your patience. I will be sending out all of the downloads to everyone that ordered download premiums today. It might take me a couple days to get the albums out to everyone but you will receive them very soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Warm Regards,
Mike TV

Can the three of you send me valid e-mail addresses that you check regularly? And it's coming from a YouSendIt account, which occasionally gets sent to people's trash or spam folders. So you might want to keep an eye out. As soon as I get your e-mail addresses I will send you a link. :) Sorry for the delay.

Update #7: Thank you to everyone!
The Kickstarter Campaign has been funded! I am actually having a hard time writing this for all the jumping and hooting and hollering I am involuntarily doing in my little place. My neighbors have begun to scream and pound on walls, I'm making such a racket. Thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting us. Apparently, it will take a couple of weeks before the funds are made available. I need to confirm with Kickstarter and Amazon that the funds are being processed and I will send out the downloads and all the digital rewards for various pledges. I will mail out the physical rewards as soon as the funds are made available, just due to the sheer cost of mailing out that much swag. I hope everyone can be a little more patient with us. I wish I could send everything out now. Alas, I can't.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you haven't yet sent me your contact information, please do to getsetgodownloads@gmail.com so that I can e-mail or mail out your premiums.
With great, big steaming piles of affection and love,
Mike TV

Get Set Go will fly to your house anywhere in the continental US, Hawaii, or Alaska. They will bring with them a video camera and document our time together. They'll sleep in your bed, eat your food, and basically just live as scuzzy, rock-n-roll roommates with you for a full week. We will sing, get drunk, write songs, and have grand adventures. At the end of the week and for the rest of your life, you will be able to say to all of your friends, "Get Set Go stayed with me for a week." And they will say, "Who?" And then you can show them the video. Professionally edited by our brilliant Hollywood editor friends! Can you say Awesome? Or the inverse, we can fly you out to our respective houses, we'll take out out, we'll get you drunk, we'll dance, we'll sing, we'll puke on Persian rugs belonging to people whose names we barely know, we'll set fire to chihuahuas, eat canapes under canopies, harpoon the moon and drag it wailing from the sky, and basically end life as we know it, forever and always. Amen. (If you're happy with the video and you'd like us to include it on a future cd release, we will certainly do so. But it will be entirely up to you. Hey, you made it happen.)

Hey gang, I sent out another round of download links last weekend but apparently, I didn't get everyone. *sigh* I am out of town until next weekend but as soon as I get back I will send out another round. I send out a reminder e-mail on Friday and if everyone that hasn't yet received their links could just shoot me a PM with a current e-mail, I will get everything out on Saturday, the 28th. Again, I apologize for the delay.

Hi Mike,
I pledged $30, but I missed all the downloads because I didn't realize they expired after 14 days. Is there any way to resend them? I'm sorry! I promise not to procrastinate this time.

Hey Mike, I pledged the $80 and never received the package. I was going to try and meet you when you came to the Missoula show but I was down with the flu.
