My GIF to you!
Hi, gang!
Lots of cool developments happening behind the scenes! I wanted to let you in on some of the things we're currently working on.
Production is chugging along on the book! It's currently being formatted, and it looks AMAZING! We introduced some custom design elements we think you'll really appreciate.
The preorder campaign is SUPER close to 300%!! Like 5% away!!! You guys are fabulous.
Remember when Rob promised everyone I would do a fun stunt to celebrate 200% on the Kickstarter AND Team Gleason? Well, he told me getting a line from the book tattooed was off the table, but we both love Pink Floyd and cheesy lip syncing, so I am putting together a video of me "performing" The Great Gig in the Sky! Here's a sneak peek:
We've got an artist (a real one, not me this time!) working on a new merch design, which we're hoping to share with you later this week!
And we came up with a funny smear campaign to share on social media, with some silly quotes attributed to various "Critics." Here is a sampling to give you an idea:
We've got a smattering of other quotes, like, "This book puts the gross in engrossing!" and, "It fills the void in literature between profound and profoundly stupid."
In other news, June 2 — today! — is Lou Gehrig Day. Lou Gehrig was a Major League Baseball player who had ALS, which used to be called Lou Gehrig's Disease. You can learn more about the man and the day at the Major League Baseball website.
That's all I've got for now! As always, thank you for your contributions! We appreciate it more than we can say!
