Update #1: To all my super-excellent backers:

Posted on August 12, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, I was telling my friend Jerry Paffendorf about my master-plan to create a small studio and take AM 1610 vinyl live, he instantly suggested a Kickstarter project.

All of you who know me, understand that I'm cynical about "creative funding" and that I'm inclined to "DIY" projects. Jerry persuaded me to give Kickstarter a shot since this idea has more universal appeal than the niche stuff I'm known to spend my time on.

I'd like to extend a warm and sincere "thank you" to everyone who believes in the grass roots merit of this project.

The goal will eventually be achieved whether it be via Kickstarter, Kresge/Knight grants, T-shirt sales, or out of my hobby budget.

In coming updates expect some photos of my project space and existing equipment. It's not going to win any awards but it'll give you an idea of what kind of insanity you're funding.

Thanks friends.
