Hey Friends,

     Last night  was like early Christmas.  The CD release show was "off the chain" as the kids are saying these days, and it's all because of Great Lakes Myth Society, Chance Jones, and to the fans who stood on tables and helped make it the third biggest night in Founder's 11 year history.  We can't think you enough - if you bought an album, if you sang along, if you bobbed your head, you were appreciated.  We love you.  

     Now, if I may put on my business hat, the album is out now and we'll be releasing it in Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor in November.  If you can't make it to these shows, there are still plenty of ways to get your hands on it.  If you're in Grand Rapids - the album is for sale at all Schuler's Bookstore locations, as well as Vertigo Records (not to mention from my traveling record store that some like to call my trunk).   We're working on a way to get the album out to other parts of the country for sale - but for now, if you're out of city or out of state (or out of country for that matter!) shoot us a message on the old MySpace, or send an email to robotsalute@gmail.com and we'll make sure to get one you ($10 for the album, plus shipping if it applies).  

  We have new shirts, new stickers and pins, and a new website in the works - just because the album is out doesn't mean it's time to kick back and relax.  We have our work cut out for us, so your support means everything.  
 
'A Ship Without A Country, A Mast Without A Sail' is out now.   It's a great feeling. 

We Love You,
Jon and the rest of the Mighty Narwhale Family
