Thank you so much! (Patreon)

This month marks the first time I've been over my $666 goal. You may or may not have seen on my page that I already pledged to three wonderful individuals and I want to take my time to find three more. I wasn't able to find City of Dawn on patreon but maybe I can convince Damien to make a patreon so I can support him. It can be hard as an artist to get sufficient funding to be able to do what you like much less pay bills. I'm happy to make a contribution, however small, to people I know deserve it. I would love to expand my pledges in the future, if our budget allows it. 

You may or may not know that I've been incredibly busy trying to get everything ready for my visa interview. It's amazing how much information they require. I tried to guess my mother's exact address by tracking where the house she lives in should be based on vaguely remembering the name of the street we lived on when I was a wee baby that I only happened to overhear because I paid attention in the right moment in the car once and found my grandma's house and the street behind that isn't available for street view to identify the house but I ended up asking my mother and my estimate was only 6 houses away from the actual address! Filling out this online form is like taking a stupid exam. You have to answer all these questions completely and correctly before it times you out! But I'm just so happy to see at least some slow progress. I have some doctors appointments this week and it's very stressful. And by that I mean, what is sleep? Thankfully none of these are the panel physician appointment yet, or I'd do a lot worse than I could. 

I have an ambience video rendering at the moment and it should be done by tonight. It was a real adventure trying to film this because before 9PM it was just too light out and people kept honking at my camera. It got easier the darker it got, people seemed to notice me and my gear less. If not for the busses, I bet you no one would guess that this video was filmed in Germany - just because there were more people walking by speaking foreign languages than German. Which, mind you, is a pretty accurate represenation of Germany. I hope at least those of you who like the sound of traffic, cars and such will find enjoyment in the upcoming video. 

Thank you again for making all this possible for me.
