Indiegogo sends XyloVan to the shop!

thankyouWow. Color us thrilled – and supremely grateful.

Thanks to all of our 101 supporters on Indiegogo, the XyloVan resurrection campaign raised $5,040. That’s about half what we were shooting for, but it should be enough for us to repair the engine (rather than just swapping in a new engine and transmission) and steering – and still leave enough room to dress it up for a full DMV permit at Burning Man 2014.

towedThis morning, Romeo showed up with his flatbed, he wedged all 5,000 pounds and 25 feet of it onboard, and we dropped it off less than an hour later at JP Engine in Irwindale.

I filled in shop owner Oscar on all of XyloVan’s trials and travails, and he said he’d dig into it and let us know what we’re looking at.

Stay tuned, friends … and thank you!

The soul of music – the heart of XyloVan’s Indiegogo campaign

XyloVan coaxes all flavors of music out of the people who play it: Jazz, TV themes, happy heedless drumming and wild, intricate improvisation. That’s why we’re raising funds to resurrect it – because it empowers creativity and brings happiness to everyone who grabs a pair of sticks to play – Check out this short video and then Contribute what you can!
