<div>My name is Scott Newman. I make music as Rebel Lion, out of San Antonio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ten years and thousands of my own dollars into this. My album Bluebonnet Plague comes out July 27, 2027.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm raising money for one show.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The show
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>San Antonio. One dress rehearsal, one performance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It might be the only show I ever play. No tour, no second night planned.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Date and venue aren't locked yet. I'm aiming for release week — that's the intention, not a promise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What I'm building:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A full lion. Prosthetic face built for one night. I wear it most of the show. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every feature on the record gets paid $300 each, in their hand, for showing up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Costume changes, backup dancers, set changes, real production. Lights, LED, a stage that moves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cameras. It gets filmed so it exists after.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What $72,727 does
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The album drops 07.27.27. The budget is $72,727. The goal is $72,727.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yes, on purpose. A can of the coffee is $7.77. At some point you commit to the bit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is every dollar.

</div>
<div>The books stay open. I'll post what came in and exactly where it went.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be clear
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm not selling you anything. No shirt, no ticket, no package. This is a donation and all it buys is one incredible show happening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Shirts and coffee are in the store on my site. Tickets go on sale once the date is locked. Whether I exceed or don't hit my goal, you'll get whatever comes in by album release date set up whether its a fucking show in my backyard, or at the Alamodome or something like that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The date
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The album comes out Tuesday, July 27, 2027. That's locked.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The show isn't booked yet. But we'll figure that out based on what comes in.
</div>
<div><br />
