Update #3: We made it! 105%!

Posted on January 19, 2010

We made it! Thank you all so much for being a part of this record.

But wait! It's not over yet. We still have 40 days left and while we now have our basic recording expenses covered, every extra dollar will help make this album better.

So continue to spread the word!

And again, we can't say thank you enough for believing in us and this project enough to put your money and your time behind it.

To the new album!

Kay and Joseph
