I would like from now on as often as I can to have the live shows I do be video-accompaniment shows, like the ones done by Devo Spice, the Gothsicles, Insane Ian, MC Lars, and many other FuMP colleagues of mine. This Kickstarter campaign is designed to raise the funds to acquire the professional audio & video equipment I need to make that a reality. My goal amount is $1,750.00. There are all kinds of nifty rewards you can earn for donating, including an exclusive t-shirt, custom-made artwork, puppets, and music, cake balls, a house concert, and more! To watch the video, read all the pledge rewards, and to donate (if you can), just go to the link above. (I have also put my Kickstarter video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwgq_kkhpIA)

UPDATE: I wrote this e-mail update yesterday, and overnight, my Kickstarter has already reached its target goal of $1,750! (Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated!) While I am thrilled about this, I want to make sure you all know that you can still donate to the Kickstarter to receive the nifty pledge prizes. My target goal just covers the cost of the new AV equipment, it doesn't cover the cost of the materials needed to create the nifty pledge prizes (t-shirts, puppets, etc.). So please donate, I promise the funds will go to continued Luke Ski fanservice!

In 2004, Luke Ski went to visit ShoEboX of Worm Quartet in Rochester. Back then ShoEboX had a couple of sketches written which he recorded with Luke. For whatever reason, they didn't see the light of day again until the scripts were exhumed for use in "Cirque du So What?". The first sketch "Escargot Flambe A La Mode" was on our first album. The second sketch is now a FuMP offering, and it can be found on our latest album "Stupid Cowboy Thing - Volume 2: Additional Squid", available for purchase at the FuMP store, so enjoy your 8-years-overdue language lesson.
