Whats the word on the posters?
Got the t-shirt - looks great! Do you know when the CDs will be shipping? Alternatively, is there a code I can use to download it from Bandcamp?
About to post an update!
Hi John! Just checking in - what are the status on the t-shirts or posters?
i've been inspired by your project to write a bunch of songs...sometimes more than 1 a day and sometimes none...only some with video thus far. thanks for the inspiration!
so which web cams did you find to be the best?
This is awesome! For a while last year after tiring psych and politics classes I used to just laze around but then I started channeling that time into music! Which probably is part of why I'm now doubling in music! woooo!
AJ: Yes
I'm thinking I'm going to want a Song-A-Day t-shirt so are there going to be other ones even if I didn't donate for that reward? Obviously, I'll still pay for the shirt. You should make some extra ones, please?
Nick Krill is my homeboy! Spinto, what up! Good luck!
Awesome job - I've noticed that the # of backers has been increasing, but the total pledge amount has actually been going down over the past few days. I wonder why that is? Are people retracting their pledges before the commitment date?
Get well soon
Woohoo! So glad you made your goal with 16 days to spare! Rock On!
Woo Hoo!!!
I noticed you just made your goal!
Congrats...
Hey Jonathan, please answer my question below!
i'm pretty jazzed at how close you are to your goal. way to go, broseph.
Nice concept, powerful delivery, creatively inspired. Let me know if I can help the more the merrier u say!
Your project is indeed inspirational. I have to say that collaborating while writing one song a day might drive you nuts :-) Love your 10,000 pledge LOL
Great project - good luck! Let me know if you need any help with the album. I'm pretty hopeless as a songwriter but I can put together solid orchestral / band arrangements if you are considering anything like that.
Good luck! I´m sure you will reach your goal and i´m looking forward to hearing the album
Go Jonathan! :D
Gotta back a project where the Ukelele is used.
Just wondering, how are you going to make sure international people add the required amount of money to there pledge? Im an Englishman, so i added $15 to my pledge. What would happen if someone didn't add on the shipping charges to there pledge? Or was i not supposed to add on the shipping charges now, and your actually going to charge people the shipping charges later?
Do it!
I know you don't count your chickens before they hatch. But, you will make it! What follows then is going to be a skyrocketing time that you will never forget!
Jonathan Mann you have never ceased to astound me. 1000 songs in 1000 days is something I would have never thought possible! Now let's see if you can memorize all of them.
I'm always floored by people who can suppress that horrible nagging self-doubt and just push something out into the world at regular intervals, like Ze Frank, Jonathan Coulton, and you. This is a great project, can't wait to see the results.
"end of the world dance" better be on there jonathan! :)
What about musicians you don't know!
We adore you Jonathan!
I hope you haven't finished inviting all the musicians you know!
Worth sharing Jonathan's fantastic song about Kickstarter from a year-plus ago:
