Hello all, Kirk here,
Below is the final list from Discord for voting, due to hopefully release in December. These are your holiday picks, and might I say, two of which were already on Elizabeth's list to record this season! I won't say which ones, however.
Vote with pride. It's a great list!
Best,
Kirk

2023-10-24 15:47:12 +0000 UTC View PostTo all of you in Tucson today, this is for you!
The live event starts in 1 hour from the time of this post, and will last until around 5pm Arizona Time. We'll be meeting at the Short Rest Tavern at the Tucson Mall, in one of the back gaming rooms where we'll have Blood On The Clocktower set up.
Free beer at the bar, the crummy food is on you and your own tab, however.
Hope to see as many of you there as possible!
Best,
Kirk
Greetings all! Kirk here,
Today's live chat we'll hold in Discord again. It seems to have been working quite well, and is more accessable than through Teams.
If you'd like to play the game today, here's my prompt:
Two Truths & A Lie is a game where you submit three things about yourself, two of them true and one of them false (and you give me the answer). I put them into a polling game program, and when we meet we go through each question.

Hello lovelies!
Pictured here was our last patron event earlier this year in Seattle. It was such a blast, and I can't wait to host the next one here in our backyard (the backyard being Tucson, not my actual backyard).
I am excited to meet for beer and games next Saturday! To those of you that have played Jackbox, Among Us or Blood On The Clocktower with me, you know how much I LOVE social deception games - and so this event is going to be incredible fun!
We will be me...

We have new masterclass dates! Plus, we'll be trying out a new format the rest of this year which welcomes more people to sing in the masterclass - even if you have never sung for me before. Here's the scoop on how YOU can participate in our upcoming masterclasses.

I've been feeling a bit better lately, and decided to hire a new photographer... and I have to say that the results have been phenomenal!
I'll be dropping some stuff to YT and IG/FB soon, but know that for the very first time, I have a leather jacket. Totally all of your inspiration!
Also, I am totally going to record "This Is Spinal Tap" in the next couple weeks, I think, and release the full version to Patrons. I'll figure out the setup and how I plan to do this, but stay...
2023-10-13 00:25:26 +0000 UTC View PostHi y'all,
A bunch of you have expressed interest in taking Demystifying Singing, my 7-week intensive vocal foundations course. We just reopened enrollment for our one and only fall session, which will be taught by Phil Freeman (lead singer of Small Town Titans and Tea Time Interviewee).
If you're interested in signing up, I encourage you to book a free consult here:
Hi all,
Our power is out! TEP is investigating, but we’re told to not expect power back until 7:30pm tonight at least.
Unfortunately, cell data in this area is spotty, so I won’t be able to host Patron chat tonight. Also, my phone battery is almost dead. Uh oh. 🫠
It’s going to be tough to figure out bedtime routine and dinner in the dark for the little man. Wish us luck.
Bests,
Elizabeth, Kirk and Mycroft

Hello lovelies,
We're going to host our usual live Patron Chat today on Discord from 1:00-2:00PM Pacific Time. The subject will be Patreon Updates. I have a new direction for the Masterclasses that I'd love your input on, plus Patreon has made a bunch of updates which I'd like to hear your thoughts on.

I just met with our accounting team today to discuss setting up an official scholarship fund to allow those of you that are helping underprivelidged students gain access to Demystifying Singing with myself, Phil Freeman and Julia Nilon.
In order for us to allow for a tax writeoff for donations, we'd need to set up a separate not-for-profit entity that would receive the donations, appoint an independant board of directors who would review official applications, and ...

Hey all, Kirk here!
So... Elizabeth is doing course feedback with Will Ramos and Chris Liepe today in Zoom sessions with folks that bought the harsh vocal course package, then will be filming a bunch of reaction/analysis videos right after that. So... she's going to miss this week's live chat.
However, I'll be there!
Let's do an Ask Me Anything and general hang-out. Elizabeth might step in between film sessions to say hello, but ultimately, I'd love a chance just...

Hello all!
We're scheduling Beat Saber a bit late tonight and are working fast to get it all set up. We'd like to start at 6pm PDT tonight, and finish by 7:30pm PDT so I can help put Mycroft to bed (bedtime routine is very important). So we're going to crank through songs tonight!
We'll hop back into Teams so we can screen record, and work on a better solution for the next attempt if lag continues to play a part.
Hope to see you all there!

Hello Lovelies!
This October 21st, 2023, we are planning to host another in-person Patreon event here in Tucson, Arizona. Sandra is working on a venue, Kirk is working on food, and we'll hopefully do another full 6 hours of Blood On The Clocktower!
Please post a comment below if you're able and interested in coming out for the day so we can get a relative headcount and start budgeting!

Hello Patrons!
I just filmed 4 Patreon Exclusive Halloween videos for all of you in these tiers, but I've got nothing for you all until then. In the meantime, this was a Patron Choice that just cleared copyrights on YouTube, but we don't have a date set for release (and I have everything scheduled through September).
So please enjoy this early release of your patron choice!
Today's Live Chat is going to be a fun one!
We're once again turning to Blood On The Clocktower, and Kirk's going to run the game just like last time. Here's a brief!

Hello lovelies!
Tonight we'll hold another live chat in Discord in the main video/audio chat room. If you see a lot of people connected in any specific room, that's where we'll be!

I wanted to preface today's live chat topic with something fairly interesting. We're looking at rebuilding the Music Appreciation course, and adding additional modules revolving around very specific genre related content. We'd love to discuss with you your favorite music genre, why, and what about it other people don't get or understand.
