Thanks for the Support!
It was a nice surprise to wake up this morning to your messages and contributions. We are working hard on getting everything together for the tour. Thanks for joining this crowd funding and crowd sourcing experiment.

We are currently working on the media strategy. The press kit is coming together. We'll send to it the local media of every city we visit. We hoping to generate some local interest stories before and during our trip.

We are also working on a FAQ page for the website. We are starting to receive enough questions to actually have content for a dedicated page. If you have questions don't hesitate to send an email. We'll get the answers to you and online quickly.

Ok, the web calls.

Talk soon,

Jay

Funding Unsuccessful (07/31/2009)

Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.

A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.

All or nothing funding. On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.

Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you. Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree... Welcome to Kickstarter!

Thanks! All done.
