Update #8: Announcing: the Telling Stories holiday gift!
It’s that time of year; when consuming mass amounts of pie is followed by mass amounts of commercials enticing us to buy many, many things.
We know that Telling Stories fans are a different breed of people. You get itchy thinking about plastic toys. You grow exhausted thinking about buying scented candles as just-in-case gifts. You’d rather be changing the world, thank you very much.
Well, you handsome, non-materialistic devil, we’ve got a way for you to both invest your holiday dollars in the local arts community and send cool holiday presents. From now until December 11, all donations of $20 and more gets you a unique Telling Stories gift – we’ll mail a personal card and a CD of our first concert (professionally produced by Colorado Public Radio’s talented Martin Skavish) to the person of your choice.
Get your holiday shopping taken care of with a clean conscience *and* help us reach our goal? Sounds like a win-win! Thanks for supporting Telling Stories!

Update #5: New incentive until November 7!
We have a new goal of raising $750 by our next live D Note concert on Nov. 7. Each person who donates $10 or over gets a digital recording of our own Dave Short playing Johann Sebastian Bach's “Sarabande” (4th movement) from Solo Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1008, recorded in the Colorado Public Radio Performance Studio.
We're proud to say that we've been able to pay our performers for the first time this season, entirely based on your micro-patronage. Help us keep our season going! Also, for those of you who missed our first show on October 3, we are hard at work on the podcast and it will be ready soon!
Cheers!
Jennie

Update #2: Thanks for turning $100 into $200!
Wowza, we've already raised $100, which, thanks to our matching donors, just magically turned into $200.
We thought we'd start offering some sneak-peeks behind the scenes of our first show -- which, by the way, is on October 3 at the D Note in Olde Town Arvada. Essayist Sharon Glassman is hard at work on her piece describing how she hired a driving instructor to help her get over her fear of driving. (She's from New York, evidently you New Yawkahs don't spend much time behind the wheel?) Instead of a driving instructor, she ended up with, in her words, "a Shamanic lesbian Native American hermaphrodite driving teacher whose traveling stories about gender identity, the trials of dating Jewish girls, the truth about guys, surviving a near-fatal car crash, and how to use your energetic force field to repel deer" helped her finally get over her fear of the highways.
Come hear her essay on Oct. 3 -- show starts at 6 p.m.; the D Note's address is 7519 Grandview Avenue. (In Colorado, for you out-of-towners.)
Update #1: $250 in Matching Donations This Week!
Well, hello there, and thanks for stopping by! We are ridiculously excited to be on Kickstarter, and we want to start off things right -- with matching donations! We are matching your donation dollar-for-dollar this week for the first $250 pledged, so give fast and double your bucks!

Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on December 11, 2009.
Pledge $1 or more
All donors -- yes, even you pulling out the couch-cushion change -- will be the first to receive our podcasts. You'll receive five full concerts from us, fresh out of the recording studio and into your inbox.
Pledge $50 or more
Jennie Dorris will send you a copy of her season three essay, "The Accidental Juror," which talks about marching bands, unlikely juries, and a man whose fate we all decided.
Pledge $100 or more
You'll get a personal phone call from our founder to not only give you a vocal high-five, but also to talk about Telling Stories and hear your thoughts and ideas. In the case that you are not a fan of phone calls, she is excellent over e-mail and gchat.
Pledge $1,000 or more
Not only will you get all of the goodies mentioned above, but we will read your name reverently on our podcasts, as well as listing you on our website and programs, describing you as handsome, innately athletic, and humble yet brilliant.
