9. DISNEYLAND OR CA ADVENTURE! Back by popular demand (your demand, not mine, lol), let me take you and up to 2 friends on a guided tour of Disneyland... or California Adventure! As others can attest, I, Xander Smith, KNOW Disneyland – the must-see highlights, the behind-the-scene stories, the can't-miss moments. Well, not to toot my own horn (or admit what a big kid I am), but I'm equally knowledgeable about CA Adventure. If you've never been, you're missing out – and if you've never been with me, then you haven't seen it all! Whichever park you choose, I'll make sure you have an unforgettable experience.

Let's pick a cover song together that I will play for you, along with songs from my upcoming album. We'll sing, we'll laugh, we'll have a good time for sure!

Is there a cause you feel strongly about, or simply an emotion that you want to express? I will work with you by phone/Skype/email to create a song that is very personal and special for YOU. Then I will record it in the studio and mail you a cd along with hand-written lyrics. I will even perform it on YouTube if you want. Not just a jingle or a ditty, but a genuine song that we both pour our hearts into. [plus Rewards 1-10, INCLUDING Disney & House Party!]
Pledge $1,001 or more Pledge $1,001 or more
12. MUSTACHE-SHAVING PARTY! Because YOU are my ultimate supporter, I will do the unthinkable. At your House Party, in front of your friends and mine, I will let you (SOB) shave the Xander-stache! We can even video the event to put on Youtube! Or maybe you want to create a #TeamShaveTheStache and split this incentive? I regret that I have but one mustache to give.

Connected as Xander Smith (2022 friends)
The 1st solo CD from singer/songwriter Xander Smith is a collection of some of his most precious, personal songs. It’s wistful and sentimental, only-the-lonely indie folk that looks at life and relationships. Known for rocking, Smith now reveals his acoustic side as he heads into the studio in early 2012.
Congrats old friend. I look forward to hearing these songs recoded properly and not from the top bunk!
Congratulations on getting funded today, Sorry we didn't get to that $10,000 goal , but your close.
super proud! xo
sad i wont get to go to the whole brunch thing :(
If we collectively reach the $10,000 ultimate goal can we get Xander to shave his moustache then? Bwahahahaha
Planning a San Diego House Party!!! Will be a rockin' good time :)
And by the way, pray I don't win the Powerball in the next month cuz the stache will be history! Bwahahaha :o)
I think maybe you have some fans that adore you & your music, what do you think? Wow! You reached your goal in a day. I can't wait to hear your acoustic solo songs. Will be patiently, well, sort of patiently, who am I kidding; can't wait to hear the CD! xoxo
Really looking forward to hearing these acoustic songs! LOL, if I weren't already a fan, you would have gotten me with your intro vid!! Great job, very entertaining!! Hope you'll find your way back to Detroit sometime. :)
Congrats on meeting your first goal! Re silly pictures, I'd like to see a pic of you with your whole collection of Hello Kitty paraphernalia. I know there's got to be more than a "couple" pieces! (I gave you the superhero drawing at the Chicago show ;) Hugs to you!
I almost did the Disney Tour but since I live in Texas, wasn't sure how we could work that out and when lol.
I do wanna thank you for wearing the tee shirt I gave you while you were here in Houston for the video. Fun being a "stylist"
This is awesome, and I'm just glad to help you with your solo project. Best wishes Xander!
i would have totally gone for the Disnayland tour but as i live in FL no can do however I do want my hug so you will definitely have to come to FL and perform. Oh and thank you for letting me be part of this can't wait to hear the finished Cd...hugs
Would love to have pledged for the moustache shaving party but many things stand in my way.... mainly a few thousands miles!!!
Good luck Xander - you'll reach target in no time at all :)
