AHHHHHHHH! This sentence is BANANAS: as of this moment, this album is 70% funded.

$31,843 pledged from 128 of you, with 22 days left.

That is extraordinary. Truly. I do not take it lightly that this many people believe in what I’m building. My eyes keep leaking and I am deeply aware of how lucky I am. Thank you.

And.

There’s still $13,157 left to raise.

I want to stay in celebration mode, but I know enough about crowdfunding to recognize this moment. The first wave of excitement has passed. We’re no longer in the launch surge. This is the part where campaigns can plateau.

I don’t want to plateau. Plateaus are the worst. They make my brain sad. They are also, unfortunately, very real and very common.

So if you’ve already backed the album (thank you, truly), would you help me share it?

1. Post it on socials or…

2. Drop THIS LINK in a text, a Discord, a group chat, a kindly worded email to your aunt.

And if you’ve been meaning to back the project, now is a beautiful time to do it, because today is my birthday!!!

It’s Wednesday, so I’ll be live on Twitch at noon Eastern, and I want this stream to be joyful and ridiculous (as they usually are). I’ll be doing giveaways, celebrating, probably getting emotional, and also watching that number move in real time. I would love nothing more than to see us surge instead of stall.

Okay. That’s it. I really, really appreciate you. Thank you for being here and for caring about this album.

See you tomorrow on the stream! Join us here!
