Sleepy Hollow goes Gilmore Girls
We keep saying SLEEPY HOLLOW, 1998 takes inspiration from Gilmore Girls, so it was INCREDIBLY exciting to have John Cabrera, aka an actual RESIDENT of Stars Hollow (Brian Fuller), aka the BEST Hep Alien band member back our Kickstarter. And when he heard how much his show inspired us, he reached out to offer his help! Like, I'm still boggling at this level of NICENESS.
There's a band in Sleepy Hollow, 1998 called THEM BONES. The frontman is the ex-boyfriend of our protagonist's crush and I imbued him with as many Jordan Catalano vibes as reasonable. I don't want to spoil the story, but Them Bones was critical enough to the story that we designed them a whole series of band posters. Here's a piece of one.

And here's the fun part -- John Cabrera has continued to play music with Todd Lowe, who played Zach on Gilmore Girls. In addition to periodic Hep Alien reunion shows, they're working on a new, secret side project. So we asked if we could make their new project a little less secret by adding it to the Sleepy Hollow universe. AND THEY SAID YES.

I am particularly excited by being able to offer a SIGNED BAND POSTER as part of our campaign, since I have a collection of band posters torn off the walls of dingy venues from like 1998-2011 that all mean a stupid amount to me. This is a mockup but we WILL take inspiration from my collection before we finalize the art.
Running a Kickstarter is kind of grueling, in that I hate self-promotion, but this is one of those moments where the sun comes out and the planets align and I'm reminded that creating stuff is really fun.
