A Communication to Cactus Tractor’s Friends
Dear Friends of Cactus Tractor, Happy New Year! The second month. We are writing to all of you to let you know how thankful we are for your having supported us during our Kickstarter campaign.

Love and Oppulence
We’d planned to spend Halloween lying low and hiding from the scary members of Cat Distractor but then we had a better idea. We came up with this totally fresh thought: disguises! Why not go out on a limb and wear costumes for Halloween! Unfortunately most of the band weren’t into it. David was flying…

Birthday Storm Goddess and River Otter
The cacti were separated for the weekend, although we continued to be caught together in the beautiful whirlwind that is our kickstarter campaign. In the style of storm-naming I’ve decided to name our “whirlwind” Millie, in honor of David’s grandmother whose centenarian birthday celebration coincided with our previously humble (now auspiciously sparkly) campaign. You couldn’t…

In this photograph you see Steve operating the cactus tractor, and together they are squashing prickly pears into fuschially teeth-tinting cactus juice. Our proposed tractor doesn’t…

Cactical Numerology
We have two very exciting pieces of news to report about our Kickstarter campaign, mostly regarding numbers. #1.

Well, we would like…

Space Tractor! The kickstarter campaign begins.
Yesterday we launched our Kickstarter campaign. It was a pretty dramatic event. Birds, a 1st grade artist we know (we’ll be the house band at her upcoming Zendo show later this month—stay tuned)) and I counted down from 3 and yelled “BLASTOFF!” when David (Birds) pushed the “publish” button. Now we can say that we…

Cactus Tractor Heads to Tucson—and feels first kick from KickStarter Campaign.
This morning 4/7ths of Cactus Tractor headed for Tucson, Arizona to attend an audio and recording conference tastily named PotluckCon. Keeping this in mind we’d packed lots of snacks for the trip (knowing that road-withered fruit and left-over handfuls of trail mix are excellent additions to any food sharing festivity). Stef tries to eat a…
