Update #15: We Did It!!!
First, I would like to thank everyone who pledged their support and helped me to reach the fundraising goal. Awesome! It feels great to know that there are now hundreds of people who are personally invested in this amazing project. Thank you Steve for shooting the video. Thank you Tommy for your enthusiasm and involvement. Thank you to all the musicians who have been taking time out of their busy schedules to make this project happen; Tommy, Elvis, Steve, Gideon, Rob, Brian, Antoine, John, and all the others who come to the Tuesday night Jams. Thank you Sara for helping me develop the dialogue and getting the administrative stuff in order. Thank you Kaya for boosting my spirits when there was so much to raise in the last week. Thank you to those who put an incredible about of time and effort into getting the project out there; Benny, Sara, Kaya, Chase, Gaddy, Tony, Melissa, Sissy, Cara, Gideon, Rosie, My Mom, My Stepfather, and so many others. Thank you everyone for your support.
The Kickstarter campaign took a lot of time and effort and I need a few days to decompress and get my life back in order. Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be launching a blog to keep everyone up to date on what's going on with the project. In a few weeks, when the funds come through, I'll be traveling west to purchase old factory equipment which will be the basis for some of the new "Machines." I will keep everyone up to date with photos and videos. I'm really looking forward to developing the project. Stay tuned and I'll see many of you at the Basilica Hudson performance in August.
