Updates!
🕑 Added 2014-06-02 22:06:18 +0000 UTC Hey Patrons! A couple of things. 1. I'll be sending all $2+ Patrons the first mp3 this week! Rifling through my old song parts to decide which one to share :) 2. I have scheduled the first monthly Patron-Only webcast. I have an off day on tour on Sunday June 8th so we'll be doing it then! It will be 30 minutes of Q&A held on SpreeCast. I'll be inviting some of you to ask your questions on air with me! I will send applicable Patrons the details as the date approaches! It will probably be around 10am PST (7pm for me in Amsterdam). 3. I am making a slight adjustment to the $2 pledge level. I've recently starting thinking about this long-term and I got a little overwhelmed at the thought of sending out a new mp3 every month. I don't want to run out of things I'm willing to share and as a result have to start sharing things I'm not proud of. I also don't want to run the risk of you guys getting really sick of me :/ As a result, I've adjusted the $2 pledge level to 1 mp3 every other month. I hope you can understand. Please remember that you can edit or cancel your pledge amount at any time. Thank you all for your support and patience as I figure out the best ways to make Patreon work for all of us. If you ever have any ideas for how we could make this even better--let me know! KinaComments
I was wrong about my work shift that day. checked my schedule and realized I had looked at the wrong day. I actually don't work until after the spreecast is over! can't wait!!!! <3
p.s. sadly, I won't be able to join you and my wonderful fellow patrons for this Sunday's spreecast, because I have to work until an hour after the spreecast starts, so I doubt it will be still going when I get home. but I'll be there in spirit and hopefully I can make it to the next one. I hope that everyone who attends has a really awesome time! <3 Jim
please don't feel pressured or stressed Kina! we love you unconditionally and are so happy to be your patrons! :) <3

It is inconceivable to me how anyone could ever get sick of you... but I know some people do, even of your fans. People are inexplicable. I can say for sure is that I will never get sick of you, ever, even if you uploaded hours of content every week, even if you uploaded literally the same song over and over in different takes. I want all of your music, from Dear River to Teeny Tiny to vocalizing randomly during the Heart and Mind video. I can say for sure that if you have it, there is an audience who wants to hear it. But the point of patreon is to help you. If you would derive more stress than joy from such sharing, I don't want that. If you want to try to push through it, I will listen. I very strongly identify with that struggle (albeit in a vastly less public way), I don't begrudge you either option.
With respect to the mp3, your fans will not get sick of you! However, I think that you should put them out quarterly, so that you are never in a position to put out something that you are not proud of. On a totally unrelated note, if you love Monet, try to make time to go to Musee Marmottan Monet in the 16th arrondissement. It's awesome!
