Update #7: 7 Days Left... We're Going Strong

Posted on March 3, 2010

Hi Friends...
These last couple days have been great and since YEASAYER added we've seen a lot more pledges on the Kickstarter site.

We've only got 7 days left and need to keep the effort up.

Please update your Facebook status to: Help Invisible Children bring YEASAYER & THE POLYPHONIC SREE to Uganda to film Take Away Shows with La Blogotheque. Donate here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/750755607/take-away-shows-in-uganda-with-polyphonic-spree

I hope you love the line up so far. I've been working hard to get stellar musicians who also care a lot about what's happening in the world, and so far I feel like we've really hit the jackpot. Many thanks to all those involved and for the bands' willingness to travel to region of the world that is often overlooked by most.

I'm close to confirming a 3rd artist and am working through some logistics. I'm positive you guys will be excited if we're able to confirm them/him/her. ;)

Thanks again for supporting this. It blows my mind that we're in a position where we can be creative and have fun and literally change people's lives positively while doing it.

7 days! LET'S DO IT!

♥
IC + LB + Kenny
