I'm not really a person who is into milestones. I'm too consistently at the grindstone or walking down cobblestones, listening to the Rolling Stones, or passing a kidney stone to be drawn in to the manifestation of what might often be just a blip of a highlight in a very long timeline. My customary routine for celebration involves raising a (slightly larger than) civilized portion of amber beverage high and saying "cheers" with my bride (quietly, of course so as to not wake the kid). It's nothing fancy, but it's our way. 

That being said, THIS feels like a moment to celebrate.

When we started here on Patreon 100 centuries ago, I kinda sorta thought in my head, "Well, maybe there'd be like 100 or so folks who'd jump on and be a part of this little Patreon thing here." And then I had another thought immediately following about cake. I like cake a lot.

Needless to say, my mind has been blown right out the back of my head by the overwhelming amount of folks who clicked "JOIN" in the past few months. 

There are now over 500 Patrons here. FIVE. HUNDRED.

That's just... that's just so many. 

In fact, there's so many of us, that if we were all zombies, I'd feel very comfortable calling us a horde. We'd be a very impressive horde, indeed. A tasty pedestrian walking by us would  say "WOW, LOOK AT THIS VERY IMPRESSIVE HORDE OF LIKE MINDED ZOMBIES"! 

And then we'd eat them. Because zombie horde.

Munching on human brain meat aside, let's chat. And this time, let's chat like the giant mass of happy human folks we are. EVERYONE. ALL OF US. SUNDAY AT 12PM. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a mess, but it's a mess of which I'm thrilled to be a part. Thank you for being here, I'll see you on Sunday.

Olivia

I’ve enjoyed being part of this definitely-not-zombie horde. Sadly I’ll probably not be able to make the chat. Hope it’s fun!

Katie D

Happy to be a part of this horde! 😁 I'm looking forward to the chat 😊 Congratulations on 500, you more than deserve it! 💗

Jessica

Excited for the chat congratulations on 500!!!!

Alaethea (Ali)

Of course this might be the one I have to miss due to family in town. Curses. At least I can tune in for part at least. I do so miss being a zombie. (My favorite part of working at haunted houses). As far as being a nice happy part of humanity.... All I say to that is: Grrrrr. Argggggghhh.

Cynthia Ross

Ok. If we're going to be a horde, you need to come up with an official name for your fans. Lady GaGa has her Monsters, Insane Clown Posse has their Jugglos/Juggalettes, The Beatles have their Beatlmanics... It's time. :) Come to think of it, VoicePlay needs to work on that too, unless y'all are happy with VoicePlay's VoicePlayas - which is what the unofficial FB fangroup is calling themselves.

Katie D

...is that a Mutant Enemy reference at the end there? 😁

Sophie Plourde

Woah this is gonna be crazy but awesome!!😄

Rebekah Galy-Davis

Exactly how much amber beverage have you already consumed? Zombie horde, indeed!

Nicole Matthews

Congratulations 😊 That's 2am here, so if I manage to make it you'll have an authentic zombie participating!

Sandy Mrotek

Congrats on 500 - that is great. However I think that you will have much more than 500 in a short period of time. You guys are so GREAT.

Jess M

Congratulations! 💜🤘 I hate zombies (more a vampire, werewolf - NO, not the Twilight kind - demon, witch, fae and ghost kinda girl. Basically everything but zombies), so being happy about being called one says a lot about how much I enjoy this. But I think it's more the horde part. 😬

Hunter

Yay! Zombie hordes brain eating! All the things I do on a daily....oh, i’ve said too much. But I am a zombie...when I haven’t had coffee.

Margo Zimny

I'm so excited for you!! 500. I'm thrilled that you are getting the recognition you deserve for your fantastic talents! Kidney stone😳? And amber liquid and cake... you and Kathy know how to live😁

Helen A

I signed up right around #150 and I'm tickled pink that an additional 350 like-minded folks have joined Geoff's musical 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟 horde. Congrats!

Alex King

To be honest, I don't understand why you're surprised. If you do amazing things, why can't we support you?🤔

Dominique

Congrats my Dear, I'm happy for you! I certainly upped the ante starting this month in my support for your singing and I was happy to do so. PS Hope your bum is not hurting anymore 😉 Cheers to you Dominique

Tara Congo

Signed up to be a patron six months ago and it's been the best decision ever. Happy to be a part of the horde! 😁🧟‍♀️ You're awesome and deserve all the good things.

Tracie Schlaak

I love being part of this horde and proud to be a patron. See you Sunday 😊

Debs Badger

Well, that VP group was set up by the OG Patrons, so I think they reserve that right.

Rebecca Hendricks

Open to everyone, then? All sponsor levels?! If so, I am ALL over this! 😃😃😃😃

Alaethea (Ali)

Didn't someone suggest the Castellunatics or something?

Gretchen G

I don't usually like zombies (with the exception of The Girl With All the Gifts - that series is awesome!), but I'm thrilled to be part of the horde! I have a question though Geoff: Are you a fellow zombie or the necromancer who is animating all of us? Anyhoo, see you Sunday!

Cindy Barber

Woo, so happy to be a part of the growing hoard, totally deserved!!! Excited to see everyone Sunday!

Tabby Livingstone

Its been a pleasure seeing that number climb!! I asked a question around month 2 if you'd ever do a solo tour OR do a solo song in voiceplay on your guys tours. You said you didn't have enough fans to do that. Seeing that number climb. Seeing you reach 2.3 MILLION views on 16 tons on YouTube. Its been amazing!!! I show your music to everyone in my life. I'm proud to be apart of your horde 😃 soon enough your fan base will be large enough to do not just country wide but world wide tours. I know it

Cynthia Ross

@Debs - I was unaware of that. I was just happy to be included. :) @Alaethea - I missed that, but whatever is chosen I’m down with. I think this is the best money I ever spent.

Stacey Post

I am so glad you picked Sunday this time, as I will be in Tucson for my granddaughter's 1st birthday party on Saturday. I love you, Geoff, and I love all of the horde, but I don't think anyone will be surprised that I love my little girl more. I'm thrilled that I don't have to choose now. And I for one am not the least surprised at your popularity. I knew you had it in you the first time I heard you sing. Helping you get this far has been money and time well-spent.

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

We’re a bunch of Castelluniacs, that’s true. But if we were zombies.... 😱 Help! But maybe a horde of Castelluniacs?! Or Castellunatics? ❤️🎶❤️

Sunniva Melhuus

I am quite the master of Plants vs. Zombies, if I may say so myself. Tooting my own horn and all that. Unless the opposition has unlimited supply of potato landmines, I’d say the brains would be ours.

Hana Keindlová

A term "Castellunatics" appeared repeatedly in a chat on previous streams so I guess I am gonna stay with that 😁

Carole Robinson

Well done 🥂🎂🍺 that’s the best I can manage for amber liquid & cake 🍰 I only discovered you & the boys fairly recently but I love 💕 you as does my dog she hates being in the car but if I put blackbird on , she settles immediately! Clearly a dog of taste don’t think I can manage the chat time difference a bit big 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Hana Keindlová

Honestly sir, only you can make me feel honored by being called a zombie 🧟‍♀️ congratulations to this milestone, which, for sure, is one of many. The 16 tons overcome the 2 million views milestone (about 2 397 430 at the moment I am writting this)! I really appreciate your "stones" story, but let me add just one more, the "gemstones", you and your family. Thank you for being here for us, I love to support you. Castellunatics, assemble!! See you there, horde!

Nadia Davì

Congratulations🤗🤗🤗 You deserve every single one of the 500 and more, more, more❣

Lourdes Sanz

🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m a plants vs zombies fan too!

Lourdes Sanz

😂 lol alright zombie 🧟‍♀️ horde it is! and so proud and happy to be part of this!! so let’s celebrate together the first 500!! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊 so glad you chose Sunday, much easier to be there!! See you all fellow castellunatic zombies!

Stacy Tee

Happy 500! You deserve each and every one! Thank you for finding a way to share your time and talent here as well as VP! Cant wait to see what is coming that will certainly bring 500+ more. Much ❤️ always!

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

...but Geoff, please have your “slow mode”-grip ready from the start. It’s gonna be a big happy mess anyway. 😍

Cindy Jones

Well this zombie is not a bit surprised ( Now I have the song Z o m- bie , Zombie eh eh eh in my brain 😳) Love it ! I feel so lucky to be part of this journey. I'm constantly trying to grow the hoard.... I go for the brains.... But in a sneaky way.... HeHeHe Annotate them with your music 🎶

Debs Badger

If you can see the link, you're in.

Debs Badger

There's no slow mode in Crowdcast.

Debs Badger

I think Shari came up with the Castellunatics.

Nicki

Hey, wonderful you! Well, there was never really any doubt in my mind that you would be so successfull with that voice and of course your Look is not too shabby either. I have to say so for myself your voice just gets me every time. Love your readings (especially the little Mermaid) and 16Tons is genius. When listening to you sing on my headphones my soul vibrates. Thank you for being so wonderful, for sharing your talent with us and for just being you! I am more than happy to support you and VP and please pinky swear that you won't leave VP to just go solo. I have a little bottle of Champagne in the fridge that I will use to raise a glass to you on Sunday to celebrate your success in style. (No worries, it will be 6pm in Germany and I'm in quarantine so might as well get tipsy) Cheers to you 🍾🥂 Love Nicki

Hunter

Hmm...I work a 7-3:30 shift Mon-Fri, drink about three cups of coffee and wake up at around 4AM and don't get home till about 4PM because of the 15 minute drive home. Yeah, i'd say zombie works for me.

Stacey Post

Consciousness is overrated.

Rebecca Hendricks

I agree whole-heartedly with two things - only Geoff can make me feel honored to be called a zombie, but I think we (his fan club?) should be called Castellunatics. Even if it doesn't catch on, I think I'll still refer to myself that way. I love that! CASTELLUNATICS ASSEMBLE!!

Hana Keindlová

@Debs Badger exactly, I have a screenshot from one of the streams when Shari used it

Jancie Sheppard

Congratulations on reaching 500 patrons! I’m glad to be a part of this horde of super supportive zombies 🧟‍♀️ I probably won’t be able to make this chat, but I’ll enjoy watching the replay.

Christina Dowdican

First, I am very proud to be one of the super zombies! I'm sorry i missed it, but was Shanghaied to babysit my 4 month old great grandson for the day. So i will have to watch the replay. Congrats for the 500+ strong supporters so far. There will be many more to come we need more super zombies🤣.😊❤️

Faline

I am proud to be able to be part of the Lucci-Zombies 😁 I'm sorry I missed this, but we got to meet my very first nephew (and Mom's first grandchild) yesterday 😍 Beautiful, cute little Liam Douglas (Douglas after our Dad, who passed away last October.) ❤️
