This is a screenshot I took of @AmandaPalmer’s “Theatre Is Evil” @Kickstarter almost a year ago to the minute for some reason or another.* #AmandaPalmer #AFP #Kickstarter #CrowdFunding #latergram #iPhone #screenshot #Safari Amazing internet time warp

  7. meredithmcclaren: Last afternoon we reached the funding goal for my Kickstarter. I’ve been pretty much an emotionless void since then.  (That’s the mean trick of running a Kickstarter campaign.  You push so hard to get funded that you are completely burnt out by the time you succeed.) But I’m grateful. So very grateful. And its gonna hit me hard in a day or two. Thank you everyone who kicked in to the Kickstarter.  Who tweeted and linked to it.  Who showed your support. Thank you so, so much. THE KICKSTARTER

    My name is in there inside that bear. I’m not going to tell you where because a) that would spoil the fun and b) I’m not giving it away for free (If you want to stalk me, you’ve got to work for it!), but I will tell you why.

    I backed cartoonist Ray Sumser’s Kickstarter for his first comic, which is called LYK (Little Yellow Kitten) and Bear. Digital comics have become an interest of mine, and Kickstarter is a great place to find them and experiment. Plus, this is super cute:

    A hungry kitten and teddy bear search for their lost lizard lady-friend in this all-ages adventure.

    LYK is basically one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen. How could anybody not want to make this project happen? Can’t wait to read the finished product.

    Kickstarter swag has started to arrive :D

    Here’s the unboxing photos of Peter Regan’s  Pad of Geomorphic Intent

    Incredibly well packed for postage.  I think some local sellers need to take note, this is how you prevent stuff from getting broken/scratched in the post.

    Anyway, this may look like just a bunch of stationary in a box, but it really is a well put together little gaming package.  Quality is really quite high.

    Submit your reward photos here!
