If you aren't familiar, Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every month tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, art, film, technology, design, food, and other creative fields. Every Kickstarter project must be fully funded before its time expires.

Our goal is $5,000 in pledges by January 1, 2012.

If we don't meet our goal, we don't get anything.  Donors make pledges but don't actually pay until the goal is reached and the funding deadline has passed.  We must reach our goal, so please consider pledging and spread the word.  Everything helps!
