Dear Pledgers…

We are aware of every order that has not been received yet and we have not forgotten about you. The delayed vinyl and returned packages are why it’s taking so long.
This has not left our focus and attention for one second and I want to promise you all that every single order will be filled to it’s specifications.
you all mean so much to us and although we are not very good at being our own record label, trust that YOU are the most important thing in our lives…. We WILL get your orders to you in the Very near future..
Love and thanks

we’re diligently creating, working, and strategizing the unraveling of our big finale.

love and gratitude proved the strength of this town, now let’s show the world what we have.

i’m going to derive a way in which we can all communicate better and with more frequency.

Dresden update!

“Dresden Codex” will be shipping Monday through Friday. Only 2000 copies in print total and it will not be reprinted! Each cd will be numbered and customized. Since all items will be going out this week, we wanted to make sure everyone is getting exactly what they want. for those who’ve ordered shirts, please send your full name and what size you’d like to MLdresdencodex@gmail.com.

We hope you all enjoy this preamble to war, and we are working relentlessly on preparing ourselves for battle, beginning next March.

You can still get a copy of the Dreden Codex if you haven’t ordered one already.

all the love,
Madina

In your own words, Matthew, can you tell us what happened?

It was about 1:30am on a very typical summer night for us in Chicago.  I was leaving Nathan’s place after doing some work.  The area is heavily populated but has a neighborhood feel to it, so it had a distinctly peaceful and quiet vibe that night.  As the building’s door closed behind me, I heard a blood curdling scream from a woman down the block.  It was like the kind you hear in horror movies, which we’re all desensitized to, but when you hear it in real life, it’s quit disturbing.   I ran across the street and down the block where i saw a man holding a woman down against a broken chain link fence on her back.  She was screaming “He’s gonna kill me, someone please help me!’  I thought, “shit.”  Being a relative midget, and the assailant appearing to be one of those of dudes who goes to the gym to “pump iron”, my only option was to use the physical laws of momentum to my advantage.  I charged into him and knocked him off of the girl.  Then i helped her up and saw blood on her lip.  She was hysterical and begging me not to leave her because he was going to kill her and what not.  I told her I wasn’t going anywhere and that she’s safe.  At this point the guy took on this confusing demeanor.  He was trying to tell me it was a misunderstanding and that she’s his wife and then proceeded to ask me to help him find his phone.  I told them both to chill out and created a bit of distance between them.  I called 911 and thankfully they answered quickly.  Told them our location and that i just intervened in what seemed to be a domestic dispute.  the dude then motioned towards me begging me to hang up the phone and pleading with me that he just needs to find his phone.  i started to feel like he was placating me.  it was like he was playing this shy, nerdy character to dispel the character i witnessed while approaching, and then out of nowhere he would charge after her again.  i managed to subdue him a few more times, and each time he reverted right back into that other weak character that wanted me to find his phone.   the last time he attacked her, i grabbed his jacket from behind and it ripped off

another thing…
the conclusion, if discovered by media etc….may be a bit intense. we will be enlisting you RP to be a big part of it. as we’ve said from day 1, there is no difference between us and you. we created each other.
it feels so good to know that our little town can count on each other. stay close, stay strong, healthy and full of love.

You’re such a beautiful,
Gift from above.
When I fell so hard in love
I knew I was dead.
Because your taste of fame fills you up
Then I became just optional
Cause I’m the idiot.
