Sassafrass: Wow, This Kickstarter Just Keeps Amazing Me
The Sassafrass Kickstarter (here) has been just incredible to watch. We made our goal within forty-eight hours, and we are now over double our goal, and just about every time I refresh the page there's been more action. One of the most helpful things for me in the days before Balticon, which were intensely hectic and filled with rehearsals and logistics, was hitting refresh-- in fact we made our goal during a dress rehearsal, and it was a serious boost to morale during a day which was long and in which we discovered that everybody's shoe soles had no traction whatsoever. (I went after them with sandpaper later. It is fine now.)
Which is to say: thank you. Thank you, those who have contributed; and thank you, those who have mentioned it to friends and loved ones; and thank you, those who have been so supportive and so helpful over the last while this has been running.
We still have three days left. We made the largest of our original stretch goals, but the more we make from this, the more able we will be to travel with the show, which is a) a thing we want to do and b) logistically complicated and very expensive due to the number of people and properties involved.
At the moment, money given to our Kickstarter beyond our original goals will go to the costs of our next performance of Sundown: Whispers of Ragnarok, which will be (and this is definite) at Worldcon 2013 (LoneStarCon 3), in San Antonio, Texas, con dates August 29-Sept 2, 2013. If you're in the area, or if you're attending the convention from points elsewhere, come see us at Worldcon!
... and, as I mentioned, the Kickstarter has three days left and is here.
I will be writing up Balticon. It just may be a while because I've been spending a lot of time recovering.

In less long-winded words: the gifts you give out into the world have a way of coming back to you, sometimes quite literally. Thank you.

I will also be at Worldcon. Plans Should Be Made.
