Exciting!

As stated above, founders are to “hang tight”.

I don’t believe they sent us the same emails as the 100,250,500.

Based on the original info about subscribing, Founders effectively get everything, so they don’t need to be given a choice like the other early subscribers. “(Oh, and if you sign up for that founding member tier, you get all of this. And more)”

Likely they will be receiving the map, key, and coin, and the other give aways including card, print, and ashcan.

After all, they could have purchased two annual subscriptions in the first 100 for $160 ($80 x 2) and chosen each option between the two accounts.

Founders seem to be getting an extra special ticket into this world we’ve yet to discover.

Hang tight, we’ll learn soon.

Enjoying the experience so far!

From today’s post from JH:

“ And remember, if you signed up at the Founder’s level, you WILL be getting all those rewards, but you WON’T have gotten one of those emails”

Who else went with the map, the key and the coin?

I subscribed Aug 9 but still haven't gotten the email, and others have who landed after, so they're still going out it seems.

I'm in the same boat. Someone who subscribed after me got the emails, and I haven't?

Hmm, still nothing, I'm thinking maybe I didn't make the first 500 after all (even though I subscribed on Aug 9).

You appear to be a founder, and may be awaiting a separate email.

Is it possible to just let the Founders know they are at that tier? I mean I guess I am since I haven't gotten any messages about stuffs thus far but a confirmation would be nice.

I agree. Haven't seen anything about founders level in a while and an update on when to expect emails would be appreciated.

I signed up on 9th of July when the last project launched and saw that some people received emails regarding rewards who signed up after me. I did start as a monthly and switched in a matter of hours to annual. Haven’t received any mails (also not in my spam). Do you mind checking if something went wrong or didn’t I make the first 100-250-500?

Concerned too as I haven’t gotten a message about the chat or which tier I’m at…I guess I care more about attending the talk tomorrow but I’d like some deets on which tier I got in at as well.

It’s September 3rd; no email. Checked spam and everything. I am a founding member. I hope they make a post speaking to Founding Members Exclusively. We need to know how to navigate this world we seem to have greater access to.

I literally got the email in the hour of this comment. Thanks! Looking forward to tomorrow & The Founders' "Circle"!

This may not be the correct thread for this, but is The Grant Morrison interview going to be archived. I have to work that day.

This is my most “shut up and take my money” moment ever, having joined the founding member tier. Mr Hickman has cast quite a spell on me.

Expand full comment

I signed up as a monthly on the 9th then traded up to a full year sub on the 10th. Possible this bumped me out of the 500

So much for the “surprise” Hickman mentioned. What a bummer rushing to spend $80, excitedly waiting, and realizing I didn’t even make the top 500. WTF did I spend my money on, when all the content so far has been posted to Instagram for free? (Yea I’m salty af right now)

Have founder e-mails gone out yet?

Expand full comment

I did not get any email since this post, and I am a founding member since August 12. I guess 500 people subscribed within the first 3 days.

I signed on as a founding member on August 9 and still haven't gotten anything. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss an e-mail.

I noticed new pictograms assigned to accounts here, some have four-circle ones, some have five-circle ones; writers have nibs...I wonder how it relates to memberships.

Expand full comment

I signed on Aug 10th and got in the 500 (but not the 250) apparently, so my guess is 500 people subscribed in the first couple days.

Since you subscribed on Aug 9 I'd check the inbox/spam folder again. Mine had subject "The First 500" and came from the usual 3w3m@substack.com

Thanks for the information, I'll check again and see if I missed anything!

They did say they will announce when they are done with sending out the emails. It's still possible that you are still to receive it.

Founding members might be awaiting a spectate email

It seems to be the consensus that we are asked to “hang tight” and are presumed to get everything, plus.

Expand full comment

Shit, didn't expect to make it into the top 500. I wonder how many people signed up so far
