Hello friends!

You might have already noticed that there is a new item in the Addie Shop! It is...

WELL IT ALL HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE: THE CD EXPERIENCE!

I am hand burning and hand assembling special CDs of my album with additional intro and outro tracks that feel like director's commentary. There are liner notes and collages and whimsy.

Which brings me to...

FIRST EVER RANDOM MONTHLY DRAWING!

It's about time this started! I will randomly select one name from all of the tier 2 and 3 members and that member will get their own signed copy of this freaky lil guy. 

WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH!

I can't wait to see what I make you all for August!

ALSO

I am currently working on an essay (exciting! vulnerable! ew! school! but also! maybe fun??) about my experience making money off of music without participating in the music business. 

I've never done something like this! Write and publish a sincere essay that I have thought about and put my whole heart behind. Scary!

I'm going to publish the article and then send it to music reporting outlets to pitch them writing about the CDs and my experience coming from one tumultuous industry to another. (Acting to music, baby!)

I'm just sharing that to share it. I'm nervous. It reminds me of writing an essay for school and wondering if my classmates are gonna call me stupid or not. (They never did, this is a "completely in my head" thought)

So... I'm looking forward to that!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BOUGHT A CD SO FAR. I CANNOT WAIT TO PUT MY HANDS TOGETHER FOR YOU.
