It's Really Gonna Happen!!!

Update #8 · Mar 31, 2011 · 16 comments
wow!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAAYAYAAYAYAYAAYYAAAAA!!!! WOOOOHHHOooooohohhohohooooooo!

I'm walking on air!  I'm laughing at clouds!  I'm jumping and dancing around my apartment like crazy!!!! 

Earlier this week, many people told me that they intended to pledge on the final day of the campaign. There are still 3 days left in the campaign.  To the people that still wish to be a part of this, please be assured that your pledge will, also, entirely go toward the many expenses I will incur in the making of this album.  As I said at the beginning, the budget for the record actually exceeds $50,000.  The $50,000 that we’ve raised now guarantees that album is really going to happen and I'm so very grateful to all of you for that!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

      I saw you at the AM show at SXSW - and heard some songs you said were going to be on this album. Can't wait, and so glad I was able to help make this a reality for you.

      That is great news! I saw you in Las Vegas with Lyle Lovett. A real treat and worth much more than my meager contribution. I will be looking forward to putting the new album on my iPhone with your first album!

      Good luck!

      Like many others, I've been checking back regularly to see how close you were getting to the goal, actually getting nervous as the deadline approached.

      What a pleasant birthday gift to me that it funded today! CONGRATS!
