Thanks so much for all the contributions, a really amazing response so far. Including off line donations, we have received just over $14,000 to date - so cool.

The numbers are lying to you.
27 June 2012With cash donations, we're sitting on $12K! Not literally, of course. It's not as if someone's wheeled a barrow of gold coins into the office. That wouldn't be safe at all. I can't even leave half a pack of Toffee Pops on my desk for 30 secs. I'll find you, whoever you are. We're astounded at your generosity. This weekend's going to be a celebration of good, good things to come. And, while we're at it, here's the finalised schedule! Looking forward to seeing you. BYO Toffee Pops.

Hey, make yourself at home.

I love it when a plan comes together.
22 June 2012We're T-Minus one week until The Neverending! We've got a stellar final line-up of bands to announce on Mon We have a coffee sponsor! (perhaps this should be at the top of the list) I just singlehandedly lifted an oak studio desk up two flights of stairs. People offered to help, but with guns like mine, who needs it. The Chief has just filmed a walk-through of the studio so you can see where all your money's going. You're all very lovely and generous. We're very excited about this. Remember, this money will allow us to keep the studio as cheap as possible. We want it to be a community thing, much more so than a commercial venture. It's all about helping musicians get their songs heard. That's pretty cool. We're currently arguing over whether the new Dr. John album sounds ""spooky"" or not. Is ""spooky"" a bad thing? It's the New Orleans sound, right? Is New Orleans a spooky place? I just googled ""What do you call someone from New Orleans?"" New Orleanian apparently Stay tuned for Monday. We'll be announcing the line-up, where you can catch the live stream, and plenty of other details. P.S For those of you who have asked, you're all welcome on Friday. Our door will be open from 8pm Friday night, right through to 8pm Saturday. We promise to be gracious hosts - drop in, we'll show you round and make you a tasty brew. Think of it as a big old housewarming. Onwards!
