Update #1: First day thanks
Hello everyone! I knew it was risky to launch my project during the holidays, but I was too excited about it to wait until they were over. I was really happy to get 8 backers (totaling $420) during the first 24 hours that the project was launched. The backers include both friends and people I had never met before, from Brazil, the US and Europe. So, thanks to all of you for your generosity and interest in the new CD! My plan now is to wait until after New Years is over before really starting to promote this project more aggressively. Hopefully people will be back in front of their computers by then and still have a little money left after all the holiday shopping ;-).
I hope all of you will help spread the word as well if you can. Remember, unless the full $10,000 is reached by January 31st the project won't happen!
I'd like to wish everyone happy holidays and a great 2010!!
Until the next update.....
