Update #2: everyone.. my mind is blown.

Posted on January 15, 2010

thanks to EVERYONE who threw in a couple dollars to help us meet this goal. we are excited to get things moving in the coming weeks/months. once kickstarter releases everything to us, we will be able to access the reward info to send out our thanks to you.

postmedium is into phase 2 site structuring, meaning we are beginning to re-lay the NEW framework for the open system. we are super excited about the project and so are many people currently in the community. we receive emails daily on the system and peoples excitement levels are super high. there is definitely a big need for this kind of service for our artists in the new orleans/greater nola community.

much love.

i cannot thank everyone enough for their help thus far. we are halfway there and i know we can do this. i feel the arts community will be getting the servers they need to get everything rolling. weve never had to do such a handout scenario kinda thing, so it feels kinda out of character- so thanks for bearing with us here. its kinda like those 'support your NPR' sweeps, i suppose.

good things will come.
