Update #12: It's still coming, I promise! Peep the new proofs
I swear I didn't run off to Vegas with all the Kickstarter money.
It's been over a month since my last update; and I'm really, really sorry about that. Things have been crazy and there was a lot of back and forth with the new printer we've decided to work with.
But here you go, a little teaser of the new proofs that we got from them.
We're more confident that they'll deliver what we want for you guys; and they'll be providing us with a production schedule soon. So still hold tight for that new release date! I don't have it yet, but didn't want to leave you hanging anymore.
Your patience means the world to us.
Sincerely,
Jemar

Update #11: Where's my book, yo?
It's coming, it's coming.
I promise,
it's coming.
So March was supposed to be our month of glory. I wanted it to be, badly. But due to consistent setbacks with the printer we were first working with, Chhorvy and I made the decision to start talks with a new one.
Yes, the delays are frustratingly embarrassing to me at this point. But, we promised you the best, damn it; and we're doing our absolute best to deliver nothing short of it.
It's a learning process, ya'll; we're learning. Bare with us. Greatness is on its way. =]
But did you fill out your survey yet? You're never getting anything if I don't know where you live, man. Come on.
New date coming soon.

Update #10: AAHHH, WHAT'S IN THE BOOXXX?!
What's in the %@#k& box?!
If you've seen the movie Se7en that title should be really funny to you. If you haven't, you could watch this, but WARNING: it will spoil the movie for you.
Anyhoo, I promise you won't be disgusted and/or want to shoot anybody over what's in this box - but I'm sure you'll love it. So if you haven't yet filled out your survey or responded to my Kickstarter messages, get to it!!
And if by any chance you already have yours, keep it a shhhh secret for now, but feel free to take pictures and send to jemarsouza@gmail.com =]
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Jemar
Update #9: R.I.P., March 6th 2012 Release Date.
Did you fill out your survey yet? Stop slacking.
March 6th is a special day.
It's my Grandma's birthday, (something else), and the day I wanted almost everyone to have their copies of "My Decade". It was going to be a day of joyous celebrations featuring a party somewhere in New York City. But that dream is being laid to rest.
Creative frustrations and your condolences aside, though -
It's still on the way!
We just had a pre-press hiccup; and because you guys deserve nothing but the most perfect of perfection that we can possibly produce for you, we decide to (painfully) scrap the artistically special release date. I already have another date in sight, but I don't want to jinx it*. So stay tuned!
More news to come.

*I will say that it's still in March, and still a Tuesday. Yup.
Update #8: "I guess I got my swagger back...."
Proofs.
Our printer, Van Volumes, got these to us last night and we already sent them back with our little notes and corrections. They're working super hard to finish the project in time for our super special release date!
By the way, if you haven't filled out a survey yet, please do ASAP Rocky so that Chhorvy and I can start working on yours perks. And make sure your transaction went through with Kickstarter! I'll privately email some of ya to follow up on that.
Peace,
Jemar "Meezy" Souza
