    The final count down...

    i really hate that song, but its all i hear in my mind when looking at the count down to this pledge drive.

    We raised another $300 in cash last night at Pirate Cat Radio Cafe, which has yet to be added to the total displayed here on Kickstarter.com, this also means we are just over $17,000 in pledges.


    Can we raise $43,000 before 10pm tonight?
    Phone calls are being made, emails are being sent....

    If each of us called Warren Hellman and ask him to make a pledge, I'm sure we could reach our goal!
