THANK YOU!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to each and every one of you that have pledged! Lots will be happening in 2013 thanks to you, but this journey is far from over.
We still have 8 more days left to go.
$100,000 will get a lot done, but the more we can raise means more tour dates, more studio time to get the new music just right, special artwork and packaging, more money to promote and advertise the new album, etc.
So, over the next 8 days, please keep spreading the word!

To keep things exciting, we've added a special offer and some new rewards!
SPECIAL OFFER!
Anyone that increases their pledge by $25 OR MORE in the time between now and the end of the campaign will receive the backer exclusive shirt! We want to be able to pick you fine folks out of the crowd when we're on tour so we can personally thank you!

We have a friend named Will Bryant who has done a lot of cool art for us. Not ONLY did he recently back our kickstarter campaign; he designed a killer shirt for "backers only." This will be the one and only time this shirt will be printed. The majority will be lime but if there is a specific color we are willing to accommodate you if at all possible to facilitate getting your pledge or the increase of your pledge. At the conclusion we will send out a survey asking your size and color preference if any. In addition to the shirt you get a personal thank you letter from Tim as well as your name on the credits to our new website that will be unveiled around the release of these projects. I can't wait to see these at shows in 2013 and know who backed us in the flesh.
If you are already pledged and wish to get in on this shirt, thank you letter, and website acknowledgement just increase your existing pledge by the amount and we can denote in on the back end of the Kickstarter portal. Get this shirt while you can...
