Thank you so much to everyone that donated to CiTR's 3rd Annual Fund Drive! We raised over $18,000! Now if only I had that much money so that I can go to school...

If I don't already have your shirt size, I will be contacting you so that I know what size shirt to print for you. I'm glad there are many people out there that appreciate minotaurs as much as I do.

Thanks again everyone, and be sure to check out the Fund Drive Finale Party at the Biltmore this Saturday, November 29!

Fund Drive prizes now include Darkest of the Hillside thickets prize packs and maybe even some free tickets to Cthulhupalooza.

Anyone that donates through my show gets an extra prize on top of the prize pack that they already get. What is this bonus prize? A shirt with a minotaur that I drew on it. How does that relate to my show or CiTR? It doesn't; minotaurs are just kinda rad.

To help kick off the fund drive and talk about the much anticipated Cthulhupalooza, will be Toren, from Darkest of the Hillside Thickets! Listen in for ticket giveaways and general awesomeness.
