We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 27, 2011.

So close we can smell it! Final touches + Backer release party in NOLA tomorrow.

Update #16 · Feb 10, 2012 · comment

Hey backers, hope you got the invite to the party in New Orleans 6:30-10pm tomorrow (Saturday!). Chef Menteur will be playing two sets... see previous backer update for address and other details.

By the end of the day today, we should have all 200 copies of the album in their numbered sleeves, bagged with free download cards, and ready for those of you who RSVP'd to the survey tomorrow.**

(** You should have also gotten a SURVEY asking about your preferences when it comes to your rewards. If you didn't, or haven't replied yet, please check your spam folder.... please RSVP by 5pm today if you're planning on coming to the party tomorrow so we have your stuff ready for you.)

Note: the limited edition prints won't be ready for the party — We'll be sending out those out by mail in a few weeks, along with all rewards that weren't picked up at the party!
