We're $49 away from being halfway to the campaign goal! Fantastic!
This is just a quick update to let you all know that things are going splendidly and I'm so very grateful to everyone who's donated so far. I've been tweeting and blogging up a veritable storm of gratitude at https://twitter.com/wigbowl and http://ryanpurchase.com, respectively. If you haven't been thanksed yet (that was a typo but I'm leaving it in because it reminds me of Gollum and I'm getting excited for The Hobbit movie), I'm doing them more-or-less chronologically, so yours is probably coming soon. If you think I missed you, or you have an event coming up quickly that you'd like me to plug (like for instance, Renée Yoxon's CD release tomorrow at the NAC, http://nac-cna.ca/en/community/event/4538, or the Craig Pedersen Quartet playing on CBC tomorrow, http://youtu.be/MCKSACGbSo0, or Liza McLellan's Devah Quartet playing Zaphod's on Saturday, http://www.facebook.com/events/121345554690495/), drop me a line and let me know.
I've been trying to cobble together a video update every week, but I'm going to take some time off because I have final exams coming up. And despite how stiff and robotic and awkward I am in those videos, they take a long time to make! The most time-consuming part is probably the building of the stiff, awkward robot each time, and I wish there was an easier way, but there's not. So Video update #4 will hopefully appear in about 2 weeks. Maybe I'll make little tiny ones along the way. But I tend to talk a lot. This update was supposed to be two sentences long.
In the meantime, please keep up the great work spreading the word about this campaign. It helps more than you know. I'm starting to get strangers donating now, which is mind-blowingly great. If you can think of any strangers who might be interested enough to toss in a few bucks/euros/lats for Improvised Music, please send them my way.
Thank you so much, everyone!
Love,
Ryan
