Somehow I always seem to be getting around to my Kickstarter updates at 3am. What's with that? So my apologies, you are really getting the most goofy, raw, true version of Julia. Welcome to my office.
I am so thrilled at how the fundraising is going. On Tuesday, my music and Kickstarter campaign was covered by MyDailyThread.com, and the pledges continue to come in from all corners of the globe. Amazing!
We have only about $450 to go until this EP can be safely made, and I'm starting to think that if we can keep spreading the word and encouraging friends, relatives, colleagues, pets, plants, long-lost fifth cousins, couch surfers, frenemies, and whoever else to pledge, I could actually make an album with *TEN* songs on it, instead of just 5 or 6. As we used to say in the 80's when we were all hip grade-schoolers....YES!!! (Don't be embarrassed to do the arm-pump, I know it's tempting--)
To get from EP to album world, I’ve decided to throw an aptly named “Turn the EP into a Full Album” contest. Here's how it works:
1) You suggest my Kickstarter campaign to as many people who don’t already know about it as you can, CCing me on a [not blind] email or taking a screenshot for me of who you’ve sent it to on Facebook, Twitter, etc. (Photographs of you flyering New York City from a small plane are also acceptable ;)
2) I tally up who’s put the most elbow grease into spreading the word (I’m a sucker for creativity, so go nuts!)
3) When you win, I’ll record my own version of whatever cover song you request and send it right to your inbox.
Hooha. It’s that easy.
So let’s get cracking, and thank you again in advance for all of your help and enthusiasm! I'm totally overwhelmed and ecstatic about all of this. (And now I'm going to bed.)
