The Final Countdown! WE DID IT
YES! Congratulations to me and to you, because this August you're going to get to watch me kill myself via playing 50+ songs in a row. That's right! Over 7k has officially been donated to my KickStarter fund and so I'm going to do a live-streamed marathon performance of every song I've ever written in celebration of the finale. It'll be you and me and a bunch of people you've never met, all chatting and watching me die, and we're going to have so much fun! BYOB!
Stay tuned for the exact date (it will probably be a Sunday afternoon in late August).
THANK YOU SO MUCH to everybody who donated. You're making dreams come true, you know. I really hope everyone likes the record I've (almost) made.
And as one more reward, I am going to record the audio of the entire marathon show and everyone who donated will receive a digital download of it. That's a shit ton of songs, you guys. If you want in on this super crazy collection of songs, you've got one more day to make a pledge and get your name on that list.
I love you. You're the best. Seriously!!!!
xoxo

You rock.
I could only donate a $1 as I am a bit strapped for cash, but I am so looking forward to the show!
Creator Perry Chen on July 31, 2009

Allison, you rock! As I was reading the update, I thought to myself, "Self, I hope she is planning to record this marathon session." As I kept reading, I said to myself, "Self, she is!"
Seriously, though, congratulations on making your goal and then some. I know we are all looking forward to an awesome album and lots of cool extras.
