Update #9 · Aug 24, 2011 · 1 comment

Dear all of my beloved backers,

I am very happy to send you this update....

WE DID IT!!!!!  WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!!!

You guys have been so amazingly supportive throughout the whole campaign:)

I am very thankful for your contributions to this project and I am also very excited to start working on the video (and your rewards!)  I have already begun to assemble the gear and now I can tell my crew that they can really start working!  We plan to shoot in September so hopefully you won't have to wait too long to see YOUR video:) 

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for your support, it has boosted my confidence and I feel a renewed sense of excitement to keep on dreaming big!  I truly hope that this video will inspire you to dream big too!

MANY MANY MILLIONS of THANKS!

Gabby La La!

p.s. we still have about 50 hours left so we could still get a new studio album too....:)

Hey you guys,

I just added two new rewards so you might want to scoop these up or add 'em to what you've already pledged:)

$25 now gets you a limited edition Fillmore poster!

there are 7 Les Claypool NYE from 2004

and...

10 Morcheeba from 2005

both of these posters are for shows I opened so my name is on them!

Signed or unsigned - you choice!

they look backwards in the photos, but they read normally in real life:)

THANK YOU!!!

The Project FLOW...

Update #6 · Aug 18, 2011 · comment

Hey everyone,

Since things are winding down, and I'm talking about the last few days, I'm starting to see a little more activity on the site.  I have been working with my friend Kazem to design the cocoon structure for the set, and with Byron to map out the projection art.  The two elements are so intertwined...this is a real learning experience for me:)  I feel like I'm gonna be way smarter after doing this video!  Kirsty is dreaming up beautiful costumes and Mimi and I are working out so that we look our best in the video!  The space is almost confirmed and we're hoping that it will lead us to the lighting equipment that we seek.  I still need to find giant amounts of white spandex for the cocoon, so if anyone has a source, please let me know! 

Last weekend was filled with shows!  We played at Aubergine in Sebastopol to a high energy crowd of dancers, and the moves were equally sick (if not sicker) at Brick and Mortar in San Francisco!  Josh, Zach and Ananta have really stepped up and have been bringing the funk and rock like never before!  We will be travelling to Portland and Eugene at the end of October, so please alert your friends in the area once you see the dates on the website. 

I'm playing a free show for YOU this saturday at Lower Hater in San Francisco! (the corner of Haight and Steiner) AFTERNOON - times TBA

Also, I'll be in LA on September 9th and 10th...those dates are already on the calendar!

We've only got 8 more days!  Let's make it happen!  Please tell your friends about this project... a lot of people forget and get busy and then they miss out on the fun:(

Many thanks,

Gabby!

p.s. I got a question yesterday about kickstarter:  "I haven't seen any debit from my account and I've made two different pledges!" 

A: Kickstarter holds your pledge until the last day of the campaign.  The artist will ONLY receive funding if they reach their goal amount.  That means that if they do not reach their goal, you will not be charged.
