The stone coaster reservation count just hit 199. Somebody reading this is #200. Five dollars holds yours, it exists only as a reservation, it will never be sold, and reservations close forever the moment we launch. The real sample is in the studio right now and it looks fantastic.  It's thick stone with a cork backing.  You'll be able to order as many as you want post campaign.

And the other scoreboard is moving even faster: 957 of you have followed, which means we are 50 away from 1,000. At 1,000 the Crystal Ballroom Library Card unlocks for every pre launch follower who backs: the physical mirror card carrying the exclusive Nexus archive. You are already in. Your only job this weekend: send this project to one person who would love Nexus. Here is the link to share:

This week it all goes to Atlanta. Dragon Con runs September 4 through 7, and the whole crew will be at Booth C5, straight down the main aisle from the main entrance. Show us you followed and take home the Dragon Con exclusive trading card. 1,000 printed, never reprinted, while supplies last. Catch Steve painting live Friday at 1:00 in Room 203A, with the finished piece going to the Hope Atlanta charity auction, and the 45 Years of Steve Rude's Nexus panel Saturday at 2:30 in Room 203BC.

One heads up for the regulars: no regular 1:30 stream next Saturday. We will be going live on the fly from the booth and the floor all weekend instead. Subscribe at youtube.com/steverudethedude and turn on ALL notifications so you catch us.

One more thing before you go. We attached a poll below: The Migraine Defense. If you know, you know. Nexus never got a choice about his headaches, but you get a vote, and 199 of you are apparently already qualified jurors with a coaster to prove it. Weigh in. We read every result out loud in the studio, usually while Steve shakes his head at all of you.

Who's #200? Vootie!
