Hey there, 

It's been a while since my last update, but by now you should have all received your rewards. If you have not, please contact me so we can take care of that. 

We are so so happy with the outcome of the vinyl, the packaging and everything else that went along with this campaign and we owe it all to you guys. Thanks so much for making this a reality for us, I hope you feel well rewarded for your support. We really put our hearts into the hand construction of the buttons, screen printing of the shirts, signing of the records/cds/photos/etc... and had a fun time doing it for you. Rebecca slaved on packaging everything up and getting it out to the PO for you guys. Matthew and Lance have been working hard in the studio recording Chronic Meter in return for their wonderful contribution and I've been working with Sage Weddings on their website and getting ready to start working with Becky Baker on hers - so exciting! 

Now since we have this amazing vinyl, we were talking about how to get into more peoples hands (ears) and a West Coast tour this summer has been in the talks. Once we have dates for this, I will post them here, so if you are anywhere between San Diego and Seattle hopefully we can say thanks in person. 

Cheers and much love from all of us in KATA.
Demetrius

p.s. There were some issues with the masters on the vinyl, but we approved the artwork yesterday and should receive test pressings this week. So we're getting close. Thanks for your patience.
