I am so happy! Thank you so much! Your support has made for one of the best weeks of my life! Since I've still got time I thought I'd do some stretch goals! I added a t-shirt reward level. The t-shirt pledge is $50, but If you've already pledged and... (Read More)

A promise fulfilled...

As promised, I sang the Star Spangled Banner in Central Sq, but I haven't told you yet why I chose this particular act. It keeps with the theme of being a weird kid. When I was 11, my dad's band was set up to play at my birthday party. He asked if I... (Read More)

But my car isn't. This morning, while stopped at a crossing, I got HIT BY A CITY BUS & honest to goodness one of my first thoughts was, "oh no, I hope this doesn't effect my ability to keep my singing promise!" But it's drivable, so it won't! The... (Read More)

Lovies, it's 9:30 and I'm still at work. Central square will be empty by the time I can get there and that's no fun. I'll do my singing tomorrow!  (Read More)

Thanks to all of you I just crossed $2,500 which was my goal for the day, so I will be making an ass of myself in the pouring rain tonight. Expect video tomorrow! I can't express enough how much all of your support means to me. So much thanks to... (Read More)

Alright, here's today's stunt goal. If I hit $2,500 by 5pm (which I am already pretty close to) I will attempt to get strangers (on video of course) to sing the Star Spangled Banner with me on the streets of Central sq tonight!  (Read More)

A Fun Game for Today

If you print my flyer and hang it in public, send me a picture and I will reveal an embarrassing childhood fact. I've got plenty, so don't hold back :) http://carriedrzik.tumblr.com/image/52874579012  (Read More)

International Shipping

June 13th - via: kickstarter.com
I've gotten a few inquiries about international shipping. I put US only because I wasn't sure how much it would cost to ship internationally, but I don't want to leave anyone out so I have decided to do it. I can't edit the rewards at this point, but... (Read More)

Sailor Smooch

I work in the Navy Yard & if I hit $2000 by 5pm, I will find and kiss a sailor after work! On video of course! Though it might end up a video of me getting turned down by a bunch of sailors :-p  (Read More)

So excited by all this support! If I hit $1000 by 5pm EST I will perform I'm a Little Teapot (with gusto) in the middle of the very busy Central sq in Cambridge. Did I mention I know more than one verse?  (Read More)
