Patron Appreciation Month! (Part 2) (Patreon)

Before I get started: we (re)reached another extra drawing Milestone today! We hit this about a week ago actually, but dipped back below it when the usual beginning-of-the-month hit occured, but we're back above it now. Since we already have so much going on this month, I'll be doing that extra drawing next month, in September.

Yesterday, I spent a good 2-3 hours typing up a short autobiography of the history of myself and GaMetal, so I thought I'd lay out the actual details for this month in a seperate post. Before that, I just want to thank you all for the kind words I received from you in regards to yesterdays post. Your overwhelming kindness continues to astound me.

So let's talk about Patron Appreciation Month! First off: rather than drawing 1 song and me choosing hand-selecting a song from the request list, we're going to draw 3 random songs from the request list in this months drawing. The drawing will take place tomorrow (August 4th), at approximately 3:00 pm US Central Time. We usually do it on the 5th, but I'm usually busy doing life stuff on the weekends, so I'm moving it 1 day earlier.

Also, I was invited to participate in the beta of Patreon's new Youtube Live-Stream integration, I'm not sure exactly how it works just yet, but we'll figure it out when the time comes tomorrow xD. Just keep your eye out for the stream link/post a little bit before 3:00 pm US Central time tomorrow.

During tomorrow's stream, I'm also going to give away another 5 Side-Quest 1 physicals to randomly selected Patrons! :O

In addition to the 3 random songs, we have 2 other songs coming: the first that I'm currently working on that I hand selected last month, The Defender from Shovel Knight. The last song of the month (assuming all goes according to plan xD) will be the Genesis Medley, the milestone we reached a while ago and have already drawn the songs for (which you can see here).

Later this month, in about a week or so, we're going to start collecting entries for the annual NES Medley V. Like last year, all Patrons will be able to submit 1 entry. We'll randomly select 10, plus the 3 from the Tier 7 Patrons (auto-medley-entry is the Tier 7 reward), and one from myself. We'll be selecting the songs this month, but the actual Medley will be one of the first songs in September.

I may have a couple of other things coming, but I'd rather have them close to completion before I talk about them. xD

And that about wraps it up! I'm all in for you all this month, and am determined to make this one of the most rewarding months in this Patreon campaign's history.

Thank you all so much for everything, see you at the stream tomorrow, and if you can't make it, see you in the next post! :D

Edit: Forgot to mention, as of this post the Request List post should be completely up to date, and I'll post the current entry list here later today.

TL;DR: Drawing stream tomorrow around 3:00 PM US Central time, we're drawing 3 request list songs and 5 more SQ1 Physical winners. 5 songs (hopefully xD) slated for this month: The Defender, 3 drawing winners, and Genesis Medley. NES Medley entry post will be made in about a week. Thank you for being amazing. :)
