Re: Big Weckl announcement?

But come on, 10 days aren't a few. 2. 3 maybe, if we are splitting straws. The wording in the 2 first posts led me to believe I'd get an update/announcement within a few hours. That varies from person to person, of course. Please re-read what you wrote and ask yourself: is it productive to become f...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

This whole thread started as folks genuinely interested in what the whole announcement was about and then if the goal could be reached. Actually, this thread started with people complaining that the announcement didn't come fast enough after it was teased on Facebook. Then, it turned into a judgeme...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

I understood that the complaints were more addressed to Pledge Music in general, weren't they? Because they don't stick to their own rules.... Their rules state that an artist cannot change the timeframe. It does not say that Pledge Music will not change the timeframe. Having dealt with the CEO dir...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

No, that's not what I meant at all. I pledged $100. I just feel like I've been lied to, that's all. I would have preferred if you just asked for donations or pre-orders. I don't like "marketing tactics" and I don't like being manipulated. We'e not asking for donations or pre-orders. We're...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

I understand completely why the campaign was extended, but it completely delegitimizes the whole process when you alter the contract's main differentiating point, which is that the money needs to be raised by a predetermined date, or the project is cancelled. I would prefer you just create a new ca...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

Originally, we set this up as a 30 day campaign because Dave has a tour coming up in late February. We didn't think a 60-day campaign would leave enough time for writing, tracking, and production. However: the Pledge Music people (who are awesome, by the way), made us look at it a different way. 80%...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

Anyone who knows Dave knows that he is a very real person. He's honest, to the point, and is not interested in the idea of "selling" or using social media for anything that may seem frivolous. He has social media pages because I urged him to have them during the MySpace era. We have branch...

Re: Big Weckl announcement?

Hey! Just saw this thread.

Dave is just dotting the I's and crossing the T's. Believe me, this is going to be a particularly average announcement! :| (always wanted to try one of these smilies...!)
