Hey Monster Truckers, we've got some news and info for you coming over the air:

We're doing pretty good at survey completion with 88% complete. We're coming up on the 7/18 deadline to get them in, so don't wait! 

If you had the create a character add-on, I emailed the address you used with Backerkit asking for information. Please respond if you got it or check your spam folder if you didn't. If we miss that deadline I cannot guarantee that your character will appear in the printed book (at least the first printing). 

Hat
I got a hat prototype back. I buy a *lot* of baseball hats and this is a higher quality than a lot of them.  There's a few tweaks I want to make to make it better, but overall I'm pleased with the results. If you're wondering what the planned tweaks are, the logo is going to be flatter, not raised, and I'm going to change the colors a bit so there's a better contrast so they pop more. I'm also going to reduce the size of the logo a bit because it feels too big right now.

Shirt

I got a sample of the shirt and it looks and feels great. I'd share a pic of me wearing it, but I spilled something on it already... anyway it's got a nice soft fabric that I've switched to when ordering all my shirts now. Before they were a little rough. This is like a soft kitten cuddling you.

Keychain

The keychains are really cool and look great in person. You may have noticed a big error though... the logo is the Monster Truckers logo and not the in universe blood brew one! Well, I made a mistake when ordering these. The great news is that the cost was lower than anticipated, so I ordered another batch with the in universe logo and that means... everyone that got a keychain is getting TWO different keychains at no extra cost! And if you haven't added a keychain to your add-ons yet, you'll get two keychains for the price of one too!

Stickers

The stickers are cool. I got some neat holographic ones. Not much to say other than it's a sticker! Oh and a reminder that if you followed the Monster Truckers campaign pre-launch and then backed, you get a sticker for free.

We're trucking along! Wow are you not sick of that phrase already? Anyway, I've got about 80% of the writing into layout with the first pass. Also some more art came in. Once the layout first pass is done, then I can go back through and add a bunch of the art to the book and create a bunch of graphic assets to really make it look good. 

Thanks again for supporting Monster Truckers.
