I declare, we are thrilled! (read: a little but terrified)

It’s probably a good time to write a heartfelt, sentimental post about the process and how we’ve grown together as humans, colleagues, and friends.

Instead, we’re going to show you this photo that has already creeped out some of our Facebook followers:

As always, grab up your tickets early! We are selling out fast and we’d hate for you, dear reader, to miss Alligator Summer, so pop over to Smarttix and reserve your spot in the attic.

Want to show your support but aren’t in NY this summer? (we don’t blame you; city summers can be… unbearable, to say the least) Help us out at IndieGoGo! We appreciate it more than we can say.

Dress attire not required.

Come join us TONIGHT at The Village Pourhouse (64 Third Ave, at Eleventh Street) for Happy Hour!

From 7 to 9 PM, $30 gets you a wristband, which gets you an open bar, which get you really really happy. Trust us, we’ve done it before. Best of all, your $30 helps our upcoming production of Alligator Summer. So you get in a little do-gooding as you’re unwinding from an undoubtedly long week.

Come find us at the back bar, we’ll likely be the ones looking a bit like this:

and DEFINITELY looking like this (especially the second guy from the left):

One of our supporters saw this and was kind enough to think of us:

Now accepting captions for this little gem.

New York Magazine posted an article today titled, “The Cicada Invasion of New York City Has Been Cancelled.”

Thrilled though we are (cicadas are pretty icky), we’ve actually been prepping for an invasion of a different sort…

Be part of this summer’s gator invasion! Buy tickets here and/or donate some bling here.

Folks, we are nervous and excited. That disgustingly awesome blend of anxiety and joy which is synonymous with *looks around to make sure no one is eavesdropping, then whispers* FUNDRAISING.

It’s a necessary evil, this asking for financial assistance, and we know, we know, it comes with the nonprofit territory, but it’s so scary! And try (we do!) though we may to make sure we don’t come off like someone shaking a paper cup and droning, “chaaaange. chaaaange. chaaaaaange,” (it’s the ONLY South Park episode I’ve seen and I HIGHLY recommend it) sometimes it feels like that’s how our friends/followers/supporters may see it. (there MUST be an emotional support group for grassroots fundraisers like us… there’s GOT TO BE!)

But LO! What’s that? Our IndieGoGo campaign is new to the world and already THREE kind souls have given generously! Holy smokes!

We can’t express our gratitude enough (though try we will!) and we hope you, Dear Reader, will take a gander at our campaign and give a dollar… or two… or fifty (pushing it?) and maybe share our campaign with the folks you know. Bit by bit, we’ll get Alligator Summer on its feet and make you Squeaky Bike Lifers.
