So! When is everything going to happen? We're looking at recording in mid-July, and having the CD printed as shortly after that as possible. The plan is to have the album complete by the beginning of August, just as we start our run at the Edinburgh Fringe (you didn't know about that? Keep an eye on our broadcasts...)
We'll post CDs out to everyone as soon after the album is finished as possible -- you should have it in the first half of August. And a digital download before that, in case you can't wait. The lower ranks of perks -- up to Posters -- should go out at the same time, in the same packages. The next batch -- everything from the Lyric Sheets to the Sketches -- should be in your hands sometime in September. They take slightly longer, and we need to get in touch with you about what you want on them (keep an eye on the e-mail account you used for the Indiegogo - there should be a shiny request for information sitting there right now). The Book (1) and the Goggles should be finished in October, so anyone who's asked for one of them, that's when your third package will arrive. And finally, the Songs and the Stories: we'll be in touch with you shortly to get discussing, though they'll take a lot longer than anything else (because writing stories does). But you'll have them by the end of the year. (2) And then we will be done, and looking forward to yet darker pastures.
That's the plan. We'll let you know if the plan changes. Hopefully it shouldn't. The plan is that it shouldn't. The plan is meta like that.
Meta yours,
-The Mechanisms
(1) For anyone who waited eight months for a Book last time: for a variety of reasons, some out of our control, that got screwed up. Now that we've told you when to expect it this time, we'll be so embarrassed if we fail that it won't happen again. This is a solid fact. The BlogBot's embarrassment circuits are very advanced.
(2) If you know that your address might/will change before we're due to send out your perks, do let us know at our band e-mail address - andthemechanismsATgmailDOTcom.
