Hey

ONE.

The Kickstarter for my next album Sci Fi Drinking Songs comes to a close in less than three days. Once again, I am floored by the incredible support of my music. This one is no less astounding. I only wanted to raise $1200 dollars more to help cover some additional expenses that were incurred creating this album. I am nearly four times over that goal. Yes, you read that right--FOUR TIMES.

In fact, I am just $100 away from achieving my second stretch goal which will give all of my sponsors a booklet with greater details about the album and a couple sci fi drink recipes. I also just reached my first social stretch goal. So everyone who sponsored the album will also get a copy of "Hero of Canton".

This is the last time I'm gonna email you about this Kickstarter. So if you haven't sponsored it and want to, then go to www.marcgunn.com/kickstarter and do so right now.

And thank you so much for your kind, generosity in making my crazy musical dreams come to life. Thank you!

OH! SPECIAL NOTE! I finally posted some early mixes of some of the songs that will be on the album along with some commentary. Go to the Kickstarter page to listen.

TWO.

I got back from Wales on Sunday. The trip was a smashing success. I'm particularly proud of the fact that I recorded a special episode of The Celtic Geek almost every day. It is a great memory of the awesome trip our successes, our failures, and all our adventures.

You can listen to the playlist at www.celticinvasion.com. While you're there, please subscribe to the mailing list. I'm migrating it to a new mail server. The old one will go bye-bye in a week or two.

THREE.

After over a year of people saying to me, "You should do a show on Concert Window!" I was contacted by someone about doing a show... and so, I set a date.

I will be doing a live webshow on Concert Window, which starts at 8:30pm EDT on July 20. Wherever you are in the world, you can tune in! I’ll be taking requests and answering your questions. You can purchase online tickets on a pay-what-you-want basis starting now at http://www.concertwindow.com/shows/6899-marc-gunn.

The webshow will not be recorded – it's offered in real time. I hope you can join me!

Slainte!
