Ah, very good. I have to admit that I thought it might have been a possibility. Not that I assume that anyone with even a Canadian level of fame has ever heard of my blog, you understand.

i should add that i am ‘em’ as in the letter, not short for emily. it did indeed go out to a mailing list.

I’ve updated the post after speaking to Greg directly. He says the figures came from a Metric press release.

I am reminded of Chris Martin on Extras.

I did indeed; I checked the Metric website and the store for public responses or updates, but if there was anything there, I’m afraid I missed it. Did the above go out to a mailing list?

It’s a good reply, and the links are especially helpful. It’s good to know the band has already raised a few thousand dollars. Any word on whether the $9.00 figure – which Greg admittedly didn’t provide a source for – applies to the new shirt as well?
