I'm a 30something, married, father of 4 trying to write music that will at least minister to me with the hopes that it affects others as well and draws them nearer to God.
Way to go everybody, the basic goal has been reached! Now just $863 more for the rare Vinyl release! :-) Really looking forward to this.
We wanted an "other" option for the rewards! We will gladly take a free download in lieu of the actual cd. (in an effort to save your hand from all those signatures!) :)
The draw to vinyl: two turntables and a microphone . . .
Yeah actually reaching the goal first would be a good start. I guess I'm not sure what the draw to vinyl is really either...
I'd buy vinyl, especially for this set of songs! I suppose we need to get you up to the $5,000 first though, huh?
Rick! You totally need to do vinyl!!! Great idea Craig!
I have some business cards I'll probably have available as well as my old cd for sale. The business cards have links to all my sites on them (except for kickstarter). However I've got the kickstarter widget embedded on my site right now.. Hopefully with a little explanation and pleading for support that will be enough..

Print up little cards with the KickStart URL to hand out at Big Ticket. Just a thought. I'm really looking forward to this album! Hmmm. For an extra $913 you could do vinyl: http://capsulelabs.com/pressing/quote.php…
I think we're in a pretty good position right now. I'm excited for how things have gone, and still a little anxious to get it going. I'm trying not to nag people at the same time.. Gotta let the dust settle a little I think... Here's to hoping...
Hey, I did the math. You only need $68.00 per day for the next 38 days and your good to go:0) You can do it!!!
Hey Tony,
If you pledge $100 I'll mow your lawn. Once at least. :-)
Wish I could afford to be your best friend :) Wish there was a pledge level for just having you mow my lawn!
