So I took a few days away from it and listened to the test master again, earlier this week, and I gotta tell you &#8211; I&#8217;m proud of this thing. I may suck at PR and I may not be good at <em>talking<\/em> people into caring, but this is a fucking good first album.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" border=1 src=\"http:\/\/solarbird.net\/Livejournal\/2011-02\/project-7.5days.gif\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As I type, we&#8217;re at about 77% of duplicator funding on Kickstarter, with a week to go. (It says eight days, but it&#8217;s seven and a half, and counting down as I type.) If we don&#8217;t make 100% of target, then we actually end up with 0% of funding, and I admit I&#8217;m getting pretty nervous. If you&#8217;re already a backer, thank you so much &#8211; and I hate to ask more of you, but could you post about the project? One word from you is worth a hundred times any number of words from me, because you&#8217;re not the ones with the vested interest.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not because things are just too tight right now &#8211; well, for various reasons reasons, this whole last decade has been pretty hard on us, too, long before the Great Recession started. I understand. But you can still back us informally, if you want, by reposting about the album and the project to get it made.<\/p>\n<p>Because, honestly? We won&#8217;t make funding on the strength of my talking about it. There isn&#8217;t one curve projection that shows us making funding that way. But you guys talking &#8211; that changes it.
