Wayward recovery

Well, it just doesn't get any better than that. What a night. Everyone was awesome, the energy was fantastic, and wow, we sold so many CD's! Thanks once again to Broenwynn for letting us play at her place.

The idea of an autograph queue is not new to me. I've stood in a few myself. But there's just something mind blowing about seeing one and realizing, "oh, that's for us?..." Just... wow.

Thanks everyone for coming, and for being part of a great night. See you all again soon! We've got plans in the works for local venues in both June and July. We'll let you know as soon as they firm up.

So, for those who just got the album... was it worth the wait? :-)

I generally don't go into fanboy mode with filk, but I thought it was a really strong first album. In fact, because it's not yet purchasable via Internet (and I'm overseas for at least 3 months more), it's the first CD I've ever asked a friend to send MP3s in the interim (on account of the MySpace tracks), and one of only 2 or 3 CDs I've plugged in our Eagle Bytes (http://www.filk.biz/contact.html) newsletter.

Thanks for the plug! Hopefully CDBaby will get the online sales up soon. You should theoretically also be able to get it through many direct-digital download services, including iTunes, really soon.

Sure. I will order it whenever it's available, through whatever means gives you guys the most money.

(Personally I have always preferred to run my own Paypal-based online store - even while also selling through CD Baby - because it gives you fuller control over your customers' user experience. So there's no dealing with "shit why can't my customers orders my new CD?", and little nuances are easy such as "buy the CD and you'll get a digital download & bonus material immediately so you don't have to wait". But that's personal taste: I guess I hate giving another company 25% of revenue just to toss a disc in the mail, when that money could be used to make more CDs.)
