For the Cure 2008 - Limited Edition Hard Copies!!!

"For the Cure 2008" limited edition hard copies are now available!!! There are only 50!!

There are two ways to get a "For the Cure 2008" limited edition print CD. The price is a $15 *MINIMUM* (more is always appreciated for my hard work and dedication!) to my 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk fundraising goal:

1) MAIL ORDER: Join the FAN CLUB (Sliptide's Google Group) and check out the instructions for ordering a CD! You will make the minimum donation of $15, then email me your shipping info-- I pay for shipping, and you have a snazzy CD! (Your information is kept private. See the bottom of this post for more info).

2) IN PERSON DELIVERY: This applies to the local community, my friends and family, co-workers, etc. You must see me in person to buy and/or pick up the CD(s).

Either donate online beforehand and I will reserve a copy for you to hand-deliver (it is your responsibility to contact me and let me know you made a donation for a CD), or have cash or check available on hand when you pick up a copy (I will not reserve copies for cash/check). I will be carrying the discs with me everywhere I go, so just ask!
---------
Q: Where can I listen to samples?
A: The best place right now is to check out http://www.myspace.com/sliptide - The album is available via SNOCAP, however:

Q: Why buy the CD?
A: 100% of the proceeds go towards my fundraising goal! If you buy the digital copy found on http://www.myspace.com/sliptide via SNOCAP, only $7 of the $10 price (or 70% of each song) is able to be donated to my cause.
---------
This means you either see me in person to buy a CD, or you join the fan club to mail order a CD.

The reason I have chosen to use the fan club as a venue for ordering the CDs is it enables the most privacy for each person who orders. I will be the ONLY one to have your shipping information, the group is approved members only-- your email address is safe in the community-- and I treat everyone with the utmost privacy and respect (no spam, I don't sell your info, etc.).

If you have any questions or concerns get a hold of me by the usual means, or leave comments on this post!

Thank you all!

For the Cure 2008

The pricing of my benefit album has been updated! You may now purchase individual songs at $1.50 each, or the entire digital download for $9.99. Remember that all proceeds go to my 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk fund raising goal of $2,200!!

Hard copies of the album (with full color on-disc label) are on order and will retail for $15.00. They will be made available online to fan club members ONLY. Otherwise, you must purchase them from me in person.

A Solid Week

50 hard copies of "For the Cure 2008" will be arriving early to mid August. They will be available for purchase from me in person, or from fan club members who express interest in purchasing a hard copy by responding to the message I post when the discs arrive. The cost is still $10 for the disc with a full color printed label and my 3-Day Walker business card (so you know where to go to donate more to the cause ;D ); both in a paper-sleeve.

I took last week off from my day job. It was hard to get into the swing of NOT going to work, thinking about work, doing work, etc. Towards the end of my week I was finally getting in the groove of relaxation and comfort-- but now I must head back to the grind to earn my dollars, 'eh?

A lot of hanging out & relaxation was the bill for last week. I worked on music just about every day and a few great things came out of it. I also enjoyed having the time on hand to do some serious cooking. I'm a big fan of food, and I enjoy the hell out of cooking a mean salmon feast, some incredible hamburgers (that beat the pants off of the crap you get at Red Robin.. psh!), and breakfast... oh my god I love breakfast.

The track list for "Well of Souls" is now complete. At this point I must re-visit each track for final EQ'ing and mix down! Wahoo! No date is set (yet) for release.

Jeff & I finished a song last night as well. Only a few things to wrap up on 2 others and we will be launching our project to the internet.

Good times!
