also, i'm still excited about the dvd, call your girlfriend and the acoustic version of the album, and the digital goodie bag of extra videos and songs. hope to get those soon.
Creator Alisha Kirby 4 days ago
I didn't actually get the documentary in the digital goodie bag - I got promo pics, "The Teenage Years," "Say What You Mean," and the remixes. Is there someone I can email about getting that? (The address you send us things from is "do-not-reply")
Creator Gio Bruno on May 9
Have the physical packages been mailed, yet?
Creator Tieg Zaharia on April 15
got my copy today, this is so good! Solid album
Creator Xinyi Tan on April 5
$30 or more gets you the physical copy (CD) of the album
Creator David Fairbanks on April 3
Hey Allison, are we going to be getting vinyl or CDs with the pledges? Asking to find out if I'll need to pre-order a vinyl or snag one from you at some future show.
Creator Allison Weiss on September 14, 2012
Daina! Everyone! The record is not done or out yet, you haven't heard any of it! Pledges will all be honored after the release date is announced. Check my recent updates for more info on this. Please be patient, as I am working extremely hard to make this happen. Have more faith in me. :)
Creator Daina on September 14, 2012
The tunes are great, Allison! Can't wait to hear the rest and hear the new album. But perhaps taking a smidge of time to honor your backers pledge rewards would be a good idea, just sayin'. :)
Creator Larry Pelch on May 30, 2012
Hey Allison, if all I wanted was a cd I would wait for it to come out on iTunes. What I want is for you to become mega famous (but still humble) so that when my grandkids are like AW AW AW , I can say whatever, I knew her in 2010, where you little turds been?
And Lou Reed? You might make a few new fans there (understated). Future congrats.
Stay cool. 100%
Creator Kristen Ford on December 27, 2011
way to go girl. inspiring
Creator Kristina on December 14, 2011
Congratulations Allison! from Backer #556 ;)
Creator KELLY BEALL on December 14, 2011

Creator Daniel Rissen on December 14, 2011

Creator Gabby Sarmiento on December 14, 2011
Congratulations!
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 14, 2011
ok, there is a countdown. i was hoping the time wasn't taking into account daylight saving, but looks like there's another hour to go. to sleep or not to sleep...
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 14, 2011
i wish kickstarter did a countdown clock in minutes and seconds in the final hour. i want to see what happens to this page when the project gets funded.
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 14, 2011
less than an hour to go. i'm a little sad that this is ending, but pretty stoked about next year and the new album. huge thanks to Allison for keeping everyone entertained, to all the fans who supported this and congrats for reaching the ultimate target. happy to play a part.
Creator Charlotte Nurse on December 14, 2011
if every backer adds one more dollar, we'll go over. JUST SAYING GUYS.
Creator Lyssa Michele on December 13, 2011
hoping to combine my donation today with my one under Alyssa Patterson on the 7th of december to change my reward to the Guitar Lesson... please!!!!!!! However I am deployed on the USS Abraham Lincoln and wont be back until May(ish) time frame and I hope I can take a rain check. PLEASE?!! :] and fingers crossed you are soooo frighn close!
Creator Dirick Cummins on December 13, 2011
if all the 5 dollar backers add 10 dollars more, they'll get a lot more and it will help her reach her goal!
Creator Dirick Cummins on December 12, 2011
IF EVERYONE TRIES TO ADD 1-10 DOLLARS TO THEIR PLEDGE, WE COULD MOST DEF PUSH IT UP A LOT HIGHER!
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 12, 2011
As long as it's not during work hours, I can't answer my phone then. Anyway, I need to try and sleep...will be needing lots of caffeine tomorrow.
Creator Allison Weiss on December 12, 2011
@Xinyi ha! and lucky for you that means you also get a phone call for putting us over 26k!
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 12, 2011
it's 4:30am, i can't sleep and i just got an email saying my pledge was cancelled. didn't realise i needed the money in the bank today to verify my pledge, because i get paid wednesday when the money is actually withdrawn. all fixed now though. hopefully i can sleep now....got work in a few hours.
Creator jessica_jean on December 11, 2011
Thank you Adam Gallardo for leading me here!
Creator Jared on December 10, 2011
Awesome show at the Kickstarter office yesterday. Can't wait for the album and Robyn cover!
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 10, 2011
reaching that $30,000 goal looks slimmer and slimmer. i don't know how much it costs to records EPs and stuff, but i hope you consider making that extra half EP anyway...it'd make us all super happy :)
Creator Daniella Jaeger on December 9, 2011
That's for making me cry at work, lady.
:)
Creator Larry Pelch on December 8, 2011
Double the goal! So many Weissoholics. Most fun kickstarter EVER. FOREVER 200%
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 7, 2011
*i meant $5000... but seems to be just over $6000 needed now -_-"
Creator Xinyi Tan on December 6, 2011
i'm excited. 8 days left and just over $500 left to go. who would've thought.
Creator Jay Rosenfeld on December 1, 2011
You should definitely record "What I Need" for the Teenage Years EP!
Creator Sylvie Simhon on November 30, 2011
Very cool! Please check out my project :) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1354340607/sylvie-simhons-short-and-sweet-ep
Creator Pamela Stewart on November 30, 2011
I was going to wait to vote for the teenage song I liked till I heard more, but then I listened The Disappearing Act and had to vote for it right now.
Creator Thomas Walichiewicz on November 29, 2011
The EP is amazing, keep up the amazing work!
Creator Xinyi Tan on November 29, 2011
has everyone seen that wolf deer poster, omg, it's awesome.
Creator Xinyi Tan on November 29, 2011
anything by the Postal Service or Bon Iver.
Creator Larry Pelch on November 28, 2011
Allison I love your Beiberbaby but I do not want to condone its use . But I really like it.
Ian Axels Say Somethig is quite Allisonesque. Just sayin. I should calm the f down.
Creator Larry Pelch on November 28, 2011
This is really reaching, but can anybody but me imagine Allison Weiss singing Get Out (Leave) my all time favorite pop song by JoJo? Be still my heart. There are so many great songs out there.
(sigh)
Creator Larry Pelch on November 28, 2011
Ok here's my suggestions for songs I would like to hear recorded.
Best cover ever is Call Your Girlfriend, everybody knows that.
I really like the Magnetic Fields I Need A New Heart.
AW originals, Yer going down but rocking more electric.
I Don't Want To Be Here is a great song that could use a softer acoustic touch, even a country flavor. (gasp) It just has so much meat on it. A masterpiece tearjerker.
But my all time favorite is the YouTube version of Why Bother. Age of Rockets remix is cool, but Allison + guitar + Why Bother puts a lump in my throat every time.
Creator Chelsea Macsisak on November 28, 2011
New goal idea: more live music!!!
Creator Chelsea Lynn Roffman on November 27, 2011
Hey Allison! With the amount of hard work and effort put in to everything you are doing I doubt you get a minute to sit down and read these comments... but if you do and happen to see this...you are a HUGE inspiration and I want you to know how much I respect what you are doing. I am a singer/songwriter who hasn't always had the confidence to push forward and fight for what I love despite what everyone else says. When I flip on your music and dance around with my roommate I am instantly motivated and I thought that was something worth knowing! Looking forward to your new album and eventually getting around to seeing one of your shows! Good Luck! -Chelsea Lynn
Creator Jim Tocci on November 26, 2011
I would have contributed more but, I'm poor, I might start my own Kickstarter page, keep being awesome~!
Creator Xinyi Tan on November 26, 2011
i wish we could pay via paypal...i have leftover money there from a refund from a while back...
Creator Xinyi Tan on November 26, 2011
just watched the livestream and gotta say, that Sharks vs Cats song was frikkin hilarious and awesome! :D
Creator Paul on November 25, 2011
A fella can dream
Creator Nick on November 23, 2011
Just pushed it over 19k, LIKE A CHAMP. Promotepromotepromotepromotepromote!
Creator Xinyi Tan on November 23, 2011
so close to goal...and to think, there are still 21 days to go. if only there was enough money to fund an Australian tour down under.
Creator Chris Jelden on November 23, 2011
I was sleeping and I realized i got crazy at the end of my last comment. Do me a favor and mentally block out of the bit about "of 100". Doesn't make sense. None at all. 100 people would leave us 133 dollars short. So I wanted to be the first of maybe 114 people. Oh man. Mistakes. you got the gist thought right. Yeah you got it.
LET'S DO THIS!
