My Friends,

I'm stretching my considerable capacity for language to describe the raw glee I feel in this moment. This is up there with anything I've ever done. That's coming from a guy who's been on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, been nominated for a Grammy, hung out with the Rolling Stones, and received platinum records.

The immediacy of the connection I feel between me and this project, and all of you, stirs me to the marrow. I've spent my career making records with an executive looking over my shoulder. I assure you, having all of you looking over my shoulder is a different sensation entirely and one that is both comforting and inspiring.

The trust and generosity you have bestowed is not lost on me. I am going to make you guys the record of my life.

With gratitude to each and everyone of you,

I remain,

Your furry pal,

Chris.

 Kids! We are supes dupes close. Thank you so much for spreading the word. I've seen your tweets and so forth and I can't thank you enough! 

There's still notes from the recording session, handwritten haikus, hand decorated moleskine notebooks, skype sessions and all kinds of cool stuff to snag.... not to mention the turntables from vpi... totally upgradable, limited edition. VPI is doing a big push on those today so they might go pretty fast in the next couple of days...

I'm on my way to a Spin Doctors rehearsal so I'll take some pics with those goofballs (you know, it's the original guys) and post them laters maybe I'll talk them into doing a Kickstarter live later this week...

Hugs to all from your furry pal,

Chris.

We got an executive producer!

She'd prefer to remain behind the scenes but suffice it to say, we just jumped to 75% funded in one fell swoop! Here's a video me reacting to seeing it on the screen!

 Then I ran around the house with my hands in the air for a while!!!

I can't thank you all enough for posting and sharing this campaign. We're pretty darned close to being funded!

Your furry pal,

Chris.

Here's me expounding. (Also.. Why this thumbnail?):

Also. I've beed doing this odd thing on my YouTube channel where I time laps myself doing my morning writing practice and read it as a voice over.. here's a link to today's. It's a good glimpse into my process which I think some of you might find surprisingly rigorous. https://youtu.be/hQLwlY_ziVc

A balance of shit work and finger painting looseness is the key.

Thank you all for your efforts on my behalf and don't hesitate with the questions. I love answering them.

I remain.  

Your furry,

Chris Barron.
