WEBVTT -- English

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:10.900
Hi Folks! I'm Mary Crowell.

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:14.753
I love mythology, gaming and most of all, music.

00:00:14.929 --> 00:00:20.057
Some of you may be familiar with my previous work, Acolytes of the Machine & Other Gaming Stories.

00:00:20.486 --> 00:00:25.977
Lyrics: Music's the only thing that is true.

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:28.570
It was so much fun to make!

00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:31.428
And I am really excited about the new album,

00:00:31.699 --> 00:00:34.965
Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour!

00:00:34.966 --> 00:00:38.732
Lyrics: [Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour]

00:00:38.792 --> 00:00:41.429
Lyrics: [Muses and mythical entrepreneurs]

00:00:41.509 --> 00:00:43.509
It's going to use some of the same musicians

00:00:43.649 --> 00:00:48.847
That Acolytes had, and it's going to be recorded in sunny San Jose, California.

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:52.884
at Mystic Fig Studio with Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff.

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.240
In fact I've done a lot of the work already.

00:00:55.438 --> 00:00:57.438
And now I'm at the point where I

00:00:57.618 --> 00:01:01.369
get to bring musicians into make it extra special,

00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:03.579
And that is where Kickstarter comes in.

00:01:05.462 --> 00:01:07.462
It pays for flights,

00:01:07.665 --> 00:01:10.379
It pays for studio time at Mystic Fig Studio.

00:01:11.174 --> 00:01:13.174
It pays for mastering.

00:01:13.504 --> 00:01:18.308
It lets me print really gorgeous "I Kickstarted the Pomegranate Tour!" t shirts

00:01:20.844 --> 00:01:24.519
Lyrics: [Now Hel is other people on stage.]

00:01:24.709 --> 00:01:27.409
It allows me to make some beautiful

00:01:27.625 --> 00:01:31.379
Actually have made some beautiful mythological bookmarks.

00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:34.409
Each of these is a piece of original art

00:01:34.635 --> 00:01:36.635
by Starr Weems

00:01:45.784 --> 00:01:47.784
In fact, I'm done with my parts.

00:01:48.194 --> 00:01:50.808
I'm actually at the really exciting part of the album

00:01:51.075 --> 00:01:54.118
where I get to hear what the other musicians are doing.

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.129
We've got vixy Dockrey who's going to be coming in.

00:02:00.474 --> 00:02:02.474
Sunnie Larsen and Betsy Tinney

00:02:02.984 --> 00:02:04.984
also coming.

00:02:07.394 --> 00:02:10.989
One of the things that I'm very excited about

00:02:11.284 --> 00:02:13.284
is this year for my birthday

00:02:13.365 --> 00:02:16.188
Seanan McGuire wrote a short story

00:02:16.444 --> 00:02:19.360
called Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour

00:02:19.465 --> 00:02:21.465
inspired by my song

00:02:21.724 --> 00:02:23.724
"Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour."

00:02:23.985 --> 00:02:25.985
And it's never been published.

00:02:26.194 --> 00:02:28.194
And she has said

00:02:28.305 --> 00:02:30.305
that I can use it as part of the

00:02:30.401 --> 00:02:32.401
Kickstarter reward tiers.

00:02:32.414 --> 00:02:34.414
I appreciate the help that all of you out on the internet

00:02:34.415 --> 00:02:36.415
and various geeky communities

00:02:36.544 --> 00:02:39.849
have given me and my projects.

00:02:40.155 --> 00:02:42.155
Please share the knowledge of this Kickstarter!

00:02:42.375 --> 00:02:44.375
Any help you can bring: sharing, backing,

00:02:44.745 --> 00:02:47.939
wishing me good luck. I am so thankful for all of that,

00:02:47.995 --> 00:02:49.995
And all of you!

00:02:51.506 --> 00:02:57.918
