Final Goodbye and Thank You!

Well, the tour was great! Sure, there were some...interesting parts of the tour, but you gotta talk to us in person if you want the full story! Fortunately for you we didn't really have anything that important to complain about. That's right, because of YOU, we got to sleep every night in a comfy hotel (Best Western) and we got to enjoy the TOUR VAN we rented from Bandago (equipped with an Xbox 360!) So THANKS to the bottom of our farts - seriously! Please enjoy a glimpse of our tour with some of these still photos.

Forever Yours,

-Fabulous Downey Brothers

28 Hours and Counting...!

Update #5 · Jun 29, 2012 · comment

HOLY CRAP!

28 hours left til it's over? But we were just starting to have fun...!

We are so happy with how far we've come with this campaign and so grateful for all your help and support and sharing and pledging and comments and kindness and energy and patience and time and love. 

Go ahead. Tell people. YOU MADE 6 DREAMS COME TRUE. And that's just the band we're talking about here - who knows how many future generations you'll be impacting with this little gesture of support? We won't venture to guess... but in the here and now you've made a tremendous difference for the likes of weirdos like us up and down the West Coast. 

In the coming weeks you can expect to hear from us as we gather info to make sure your rewards get to you. If you have any questions in the meantime (or any requests) please contact us! 

With every stop, every show, every adventure - we will remember the contribution you made and carry you with us along the way. We will make you proud, brothers!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 

Love to 6th power,

The Fabulous (and Successful Kickstarting All Thanks To You) Downey Brothers!

1 Week Crunch!

Update #4 · Jun 22, 2012 · comment

Boy, does time ever fly or what?

We've been having such fun making arrangements for tour, playing shows in the Seattle area and opening for our favorite bands that last week really got away from us. We can't believe there's only one week to go - that means we declare it Official Crunch Time starting... now!

For those of you that have donated, please again accept our deepest gratitude for your help. Now's your chance to share our campaign one more time with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, your blog, whatever single outlet you choose - because when your circle of peeps know that you have backed a project then they know it's something they can get behind, too. They will look at you with your honest good looks and charm and discerning, insightful perspective and think to themselves, "well if ____________ did it, why shouldn't I?"

We've already met our goal and for that we thank you. With our new project goals in place and a bigger goal to meet, we can make a lot happen in a week. IT'S OFFICIAL CRUNCH TIME - LET'S END WITH A BIG FINISH!

Love,

The Fabulous Downey Brothers xoxo

Week Two... We Did It?!

Update #3 · Jun 8, 2012 · comment

As many of you already know, we were barely into Week Two of our Kickstarter campaign when a generous donor helped us achieve our goal and then some! As of now we have met our Kickstarter goal which means we will be able to benefit from all that you've contributed towards our tour and make it happen for real! Thank you soooooo much one and all!

But what do we do with two weeks left? 

Well now that our basic tour needs are met, we can start looking at directing additional funds toward other necessities like...

- Merchandise creation and development (more t-shirt options, props for fans to use during our shows)

- 3 meals a day instead of just 2 

- Supplies to repair our costumes (fabric, adhesives, and thread) and back up our gear on the road (extra strings, straps, picks and sticks, etc.)! 

We are soooooo thrilled and relieved to know we can make this tour happen on the most basic level - every bit of our success is because of you, our precious backers - now let's see if we can keep the momentum going and achieve those extras!

Love and huge gratitude,

The Fabulous (and touring!) Downey Brothers xoxo

Week One Down... Three To Go!

Update #2 · Jun 4, 2012 · comment

As Week One winds down, we're gearing up for Week Two. We're thrilled at the positive response and support we've gathered thus far - our nearest and dearest have already made the pledge and there were even a few backer names we didn't recognize, so what a fabulous surprise that was! Between what we've raised so far and being named a Staff Pick last week, it's hard to imagine it going better than this but we've got 3 weeks to outdo ourselves so let's see what happens...!

Thank you all again soooooooo much!

 

xoxo,

The Fabulous Downey Brothers
