From my current calculations (at 28 pledges), Jordan has roughly 2400 dollars pledged thus far.

At 3%, this would make the goal $80,000. That is quite a high amount, even for Jordan. I'm not sure if he will reach it, to be honest :( Please spread the word!
Yeah, but I guess if he wants to hire an orchestra, right? That can't be cheap.

How much you gotta pledge to get the scoop on the DVD?

Haha, in all seriousness, if the rewards were delivered within a week or so of the initial pledging, the phone call for 100 would be the best bet  :lol

Unfortunately, by the time the pledge period is over (61 days), we should already (hopefully) know something.

Yeah, absolutely. I certainly hope he reaches it.

I will pledge, of course, but prices are a bit high. 28$ for a CD? ???

I pledged $20,000 and now i'm the new drummer in DT.

Well, he is at 5% of his goal in less than a day. That's without many of the big awards being taken. Of course, pledging will slow down as the days go on, but 61 days should be enough for this to happen.

It'd be cool if we could do a pool to get JR to write a song about the forum.

Hey if we all scramble together for the house concert we may have a private DTF concert at the horizon!  :hefdaddy

One of these 2 needs to happen (the latter would be cheaper so I'm voting for it :biggrin:).

Also, "I’ll see you… on the virtual pledge road." :D

We should get a private concert and all dress like wizards or something, make him reeeeaaaally uncomfortable

The true question is; 10k... A JR action figure or a private JR concert?

Why would you ever want to make Jordan uncomfortable he's the best dude ever I just don't understand.

And besides, I am not sure it is possible to make him uncomfortable :lol

Why don't I have any money...  :-[  :sadpanda:


edit:  Editing my own post almost a year later. I don't know if anyone else clicks on random old threads and rereads them like I do, but I think it's interesting to leave little "easter eggs" around.

Also, I'm kind of bored.

Shadow2222

Wow, already at 12% now. Very cool. Hopefully none of the big pledges end up cancelling and setting the campaign back.

I'm sure that he would find it very funny, and would be quite inspired to improvise a uplifting melody on the piano for the occasion :D

When I've finished overdubbing all of Mangini's parts.

I think I will make a thread for this. It's rather big to be left in this thread that some may glance over due to the unrelated title.

What kind of phone call is the "phone call" option anyways?

It says it is of a sexual nature of course. Were you expecting something different? How well do you know this band?

Wait a minute, the "big announcement" was that he's asking us for money?  :facepalm:

Well, to be fair, he is asking for money to supplant the need to go through a record label. This will be 100% his ideas, and the minimum pledge gets you one of the albums anyways. It isn't like you are giving him a donation.

If he does it through a label, the amount of money he will see from those 3 releases will be minimal.

Through Pledgemusic, he will get some money after all the expenses. I would rather support him through Pledgemusic than through a record label.

Shadow2222

I tweeted Jordan about the thread I created, so I hope he doesn't read through this one lol!

Lucien

We can just hope the single comes out sometime soon. Also, new Q&A with Mike Mangini!

Just imagine if he had used my idea for the album title :neverusethis:

BTW, Kevin should've had a Cold Call as one of the options in his Kickstarter project, so he could've been call-call-calling fans who paid for that ;D

Nah, he would only say "Hello", tell us something stupid and and a few seconds later say "Would you please hang up?". For 10.000$.
