      Evidently the 10,000 pledge doesn't really exist. Maybe it's something that has yet to work itself out, but I got word from Kickstarter that the credit card transaction "errored" so it's not coming through. But that's no matter, the thing is that everyone pulled/pooled together and met my dream goal for putting out some great records. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Ben Capp's house just burned down, he lost everything, he pitched in. I have the greatest group of support anyone could ask for. This is THE DREAM. So psyched. I'm going to ask you all some questions (a few of you I have already) about how to fulfill the prizes like shirt size and address and lyrics and stuff. And if any of you are to be moving in the next month, we're going to have to keep in communication about that. Happy autumn, y'all, talk to you soon.

      When I went to bed last night, this had just breached the $16,000 mark with two hours or so to go, and I was pumped. You guys...$10,000 more in TWO HOURS?! This is truly an amazing feat! Good work to all, and congrats Karl!!

      How can we get the 400 odd souls that are "like"ing this on facebook to actually get off their tushies and pledge some $$$. Except I guess they don't have to get off their tushies. They can pledge sitting down. It's so easy! You don't even have to stand up. Do it!!!
