    THANK YOU!!!

    Hello!  Thank you to all of you for your support.  This project was successfully funded, with 111% of my target amount raised when the campaign ended at 11:28 Friday night.  I cannot express in words how grateful I am, though thankfully whatever I cannot express verbally I can hopefully express via operatic grandiosity!!  

    In case there was any confusion about the gift structure, T-shirts are for all of you-- those who pledged $10, those who pledged at higher levels, and because I'm feeling so darn appreciative, also those of you who gave at the $5 level. Please write me here to indicate what size t-shirt you prefer.

    More details to follow shortly-- in the meantime, I hope I can see some of you on October 29, and for those who can't make it then, I hope I can see you some other time soon!  I look forward to it.

    With love,

    James Ilgenfritz
