Premature Procrastination: The Future of Arkle Studios

This has been cross-posted to all Arkle Studios feeds.

One thing I failed to address though is that the current logo will be coming down. No new one has been designed to replace it yet, but I'm working on it.

Plot Summary: No actual GG episode this week. Instead, the hosts discuss the past season, tease the next, and, well, someone says goodbye. I has a sad. :(

So, that happened

Less than 24 hours after I posted the Chip In widget, I've reached the goal. My SAP co-host T.M. Camp helped me out. I'm grateful. Though I think some of my GGR listeners might be annoyed that they missed their shot at a guest co-host spot. ;-)

Still, the fundraiser's closed now. But hey, I've still got the tip jar on the side of the page here, right next to the Blog Archive. It's always been there, I just don't call attention to it, well, ever. Pretty much all podcasts have something like it. I don't need anything right now of course (see above paragraph) but it's always appreciated. Without fans, there are no podcasts. :-D

Thanks again to T.m. Camp, and apologies to those who were going to give but couldn't. Thank you anyway for your good thoughts. Give that money to charity instead. I'm gonna suggest the Make a Wish Foundation.

That was my cousin Robin's favorite charity. Hard to believe it's almost 3 months now.
