For the fox pins, what if you had one local captain that you trusted in each European postal zone? You could send them a package of all the pins for their area (which would drive down shipping since 20 pins costs barely more than 1 pin to mail), then each person could contact the captain with their address (or in person?) to receive their pin.

I was thinking recently about Jesse's Beatles EP and wondered if you would like to do an Ingrid Michaelson cover album! Then I got extremely excited and made a playlist I think would work really well for this hypothetical project :D <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPL2J7HVG2g&list=PLqohdQIIG7mS1VkIn1W2rTaj5VIXOSHfZ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPL2J7HVG2g&list=PLqohdQIIG7mS1VkIn1W2rTaj5VIXOSHfZ</a>

You've mentioned how lo fi sitting in your closet videos aren't feasible for YouTube/Spotify anymore. What if you made a side project artist name and made a channel just for those? That way we could see them but you wouldn't hurt the KG brand! I have LOTS of ideas for the name :D my favorite is to take -omi and -miko and make Omiko Epstein, but another could be to put the felt penguin in all the videos and declare it a duo act called Noble Penguin, or use a different stuffed/drawn/alive bird in each one and have the artist name be Mother of Birds.

What if you took a Grannis family trip to Europe for Christmas, and while there mailed the fox pins to Eurozone Kinerds to cut down shipping? I think this would be okay passport wise because you wouldn't be getting any income from it, but maybe check to be sure. 😬

haha you might have. those recordings are for your ears only! no plans at the moment to release the demos publicly, though i do hope to record studio versions someday to release on spotify!

Oops just saw this. I think you mentioned something about putting Enough on Spotify during the coffee date? I didn't make that up, did I? 😂

i think it would be marvelous! i cry (somewhat) less for online shows, and i know the performances are just as powerful and moving, so i think it's because they're spaced out and while the chatting in between can also be cry-inducing it's usually a respite. this way (maybe?) we could witness the power of the fully operational Kina musician AND have realtime connection in the chat, both of which are quite pleasant. it also might be really disconcerting! i don't know :D i'm confident you'll make the right decision

Eric Hofmann

oh my so many good suggestions! have noted them all :) definitely want to start doing some more throwback sessions again of the older music!

Oh veryyyy clever! I'll think about that. Would it be crazy to have two Kina's from two different times interacting with you at once?!

Ooh fun idea. I'm going to start mulling these around again :)

Wait when did I mention Spotify?? Remind me what you're talking about and I'll clarify on my end.

I get why your saying that but for the Concert i'd much prefer it Live than prerecorded

She mentioned on the coffee date Wednesday the vinyl won't be done until late January. Manufacturing backlog.

Patron perks - I miss the idea of a mailbox for certain level patrons. You're notoriously hard to get a hold of outside of a quick tweet here and there. If that mailbox made it easier (I don't remember why it was stopped) it would be well worth a higher level tier. Also, I love the idea of releasing demos to patrons, but when you mentioned Spotify it did make it seem a bit less special. Maybe an exclusive Patron window (as would be the case if Enough makes it to Spotify), or just doing a more cleaned up version (second draft?) for the online sites would keep the demo as a great Patron-bonus.

As you rebuild your routines post-tour, would now be a good time to start a Workouts/Meditation with Kina series?

Eric Hofmann

For the concert video, what if you used YouTube Premiere? That way one Kina could be fully in the performance and one Kina could be fully in the chat!

Eric Hofmann

Hi, Kina! A few quick thoughts for some things that might be fun: a Kina classics album where you re-record songs from your past in your new voice/style; rereleasing older albums on vinyl; releasing live album recordings from your last tour. Also, I think you would do an absolutely amazing cover of Someone Saved My Life Tonight by Elton John. :) Was also curious if In the Waiting is coming on vinyl soon. That’s all! Sending you love, light and positive energy. 😊
