Now Time to Start the Thank-You's

Update #30 · Mar 29, 2010 · comment

So my loyal Backers - what a busy couple of Weeks - We showed @ the Maine Jewish Film Festival to a sold out crowd on March 24th - what an amazing night - Tickets were in high enough demand that we have been asked back to the Nick in Portland

Canvasman: The Robbie Ellis Story - Returns to the Nickelodeon in Portland, Maine on April 22nd @ 7:30 PM

So if you are in Portland come on by -

We have also been booked to show at the Opera House Arts at the Stonington Opera House on May 13th

That Said this week is dedicated to you guys - so all the stuff is now on order and in various stages of shipping so your thank-you's will be coming your way ASAP - I promise -

The one thing that is going to take a little longer is the Crew Shirts - we are working with our dear friend and Master Printer David Wolfe - to do these shirts - he is hand carving a wood block - and each t-shirt will be hand printed - so I promise you it will be worth the wait -

As always thanks for the support and be in touch soon with other news
