November Hangout (and then some)
🕑 Added 2020-11-23 18:46:46 +0000 UTCOur first ALL-PATRON hangout since the official switch is upon us and I'm so excited! Feel free to head over to the event page to RSVP and start posting questions for the Q&A. It'll also tell you what time things get started in your local time zone once you're over there :) If you miss us live, you can watch the recording via the same link!
November Coffee Date: Friday, November 27th at 12pm pst
Also--a note about the recent change to monthly. First of all, a big big thank you to those of you who have adjusted your pledges to account for the change. That has not gone unnoticed and truly means so much πβ₯οΈ Second of all, a lot of you let me know you received an error message when attempting to adjust your pledge amount--I've taken this to the folks at Patreon and they have been SO helpful in trying to get this fixed. It looks like the issue has to do with the tier being unpublished and somehow that's not letting people edit their pledge amounts. If they manage to fix the issue I'll be sure to let you all know! Also, if you ended up changing to a higher tier than you are comfortable with after getting this error and would like to change back to your old amount should we get this fixed, please let me know and we'll work it out!
In other news, I just finished mixing the next song off the new album to be released!! It'll be coming out some time next month :) It's called "Oh What A Love"--technically it should be "Oh, What A Love" with a comma, but I'm on the fence about how I feel about having punctuation in the title. In terms of feel when you look at the two options, does one feel better than the other to you? Help!
I also still owe you some Patreon updates! I'll get to work this week on making a clearer system for you to be able to access your perks, find our community chat on discord, etc.
Okay, that's it for now! So looking forward to chatting with some of you this Friday at the hangout. Sending lots of love and gratitude and hope you have a wonderful week until then!

p.s. Sorry my messages keep switching between all lowercase and proper use of capitalization! I can't make up my mind these days. Some days I'm a proper grown-up and some days lowercase just feels so right π

Aaaah Kina! I had so many tech difficulties on my phone during the crowd cast... mainly how to "Chat" and write responses. Also I never could see the polls. Hmmm every time I lost the chat button and I'd press on random symbols to try and get that option back on my screen, I'd always accidentally log out and this happened right when you said my name, then I disconnected accidentally and when I came back it was over, lol! So anyway I'm so sorry I couldn't type a reply and you were close to saying my name correctly... it's Hridayinee pronounced Hra doy a nee. It's a spiritual name meaning my soul's qualities: Good Hearted, Tender Hearted, Delightfulness and Cordiality. Thank you so much for today

hey Kina what do I click on to watch this in 40 min?
I tried increasing my pledge again yesterday and this time it worked :)
Music bout flow, grammar gotta go... βmusings smiles about commas :-)
haha, thanks dan. that means a lot!!
love this <3 thank you, andreas!
are you still having the issue, hridayinee?
Even as a devout Grammar βNOT-Seeβ, I will accept the non-comma.
wow the day before my birthday! what a wonderful gift haha canβt wait:)
As I was reading this, I was aware of the absent comma, then appreciated that you acknowledged that it was missing. lol It's hard for me side with "no common", but I see what you mean about the feel of it. I never imagined this being a part of titling and marketing a song. What if the comma is a font size that's smaller and/or not as bolded? lol

so weird!! looking into it!!
Looking forward to my first hangout and already thanks for making it Europe friendly timing. However I would've set my alarm for you xD Re comma vs no comma - comma looks good to me
Very much looking forward to the Nov hangout β€οΈ - on the subject of commas: I don't think the presence or non-presence of a comma will change the meaning of what's behind and inside. I'd leave it up to our minds and hearts to decide and therefore would not add it to the title π€π
I like the comma! New song hype :D xx
