We are currently at $3,020! That's 55% of the way to my stretch goal of $5,500 with 7 days left to go!
To recap, if I hit my STRETCH GOAL of $5,500, I will plan a “LukeSkiCon” weekend featuring the “FuMP Fest” concert in the Chicago area for all the donors who are able to make it. For the donors that aren't able to make it, I will do a live webcast of the concert, and make the concert recording available to all the donors.

So please donate if you can, and please tell your friends online about it. Remember, there are all kinds of awesome pledge prizes you can get, like bacon, t-shirts, artwork, puppets, a song about you, cake balls, house concerts, and Luke Ski mowing your lawn!

- "THE BALLAD OF OPTIMUS PRIME" FANVID BY JERED PEREZ
Jered "Mr. Tuesday" Perez continues to be an awesome purveyor of Luke Ski fanvid goodness! This time he tackles an old fan favorite, "The Ballad Of Optimus Prime", my filked-up celtic tribute to the leader of the Autobots, done with the Nick Atoms in 2003, long before Mr. Bay got his hands on him.

- LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT
Episode #063 – Rent-A-Baby
This episode is done in a style that I like to call “thrown together quickly”. We start off with a quick visit with Blasted Bill and Moonbeam of Pod Of Destiny fame recorded just after PenguiCon. Then we jump ahead to Luke & Carrie in the Wisconsin Dells following their visit to the Twin Cities so baby Alex could meet his grandparents and great grandparents. We recap the trip as well as PenguiCon and Luke’s day at the Ultimate Marvel Marathon. Then we return home to Josh & Sara and wrap up with News of the Stupid and remind people to please donate to Luke Ski’s Kickstarter, because if it hits the stretch goal of $5,500, we will throw “LukeSkiCon” featuring the “FuMP Fest” concert in Chicago (see website for details, Kickstarter ends on May 19th). We also have comedy & music tracks by Mikey Mason, Power Salad, Steve Martin, Wyatt Cenac, Brak, and Digital Underground, and a drawing of Carrie and Luke as ducks for no reason. Episode length: 1:38:47
