Regretsy: Where DIY Meets WTF
Helsinki yeah! HKpril and Bronc, enjoy Finland! Don't freeze to death, we need you guys around to keep us fat, jealous, and loserly. :) I knew it would make the goal! Kudos on the extra 14k straight to charity. Well done, Regretsians!!!
i can't believe we cracked 60k! best fat jealous losers ever!
The way the Euro is right now, you might want to take along a suitcase full of Pelts anyway.
James, I will make sure you get everything you want and ship it anywhere it has to go. Thank you for your generous support!
So... I pledged 40$ for the pins (That's my selected reward since there's not many left), but I may have added another 50$ for the Hellephant. However, can these be internationally shipped? (God, Canada is so far away...), I'll add however much extra to the pledge for these items!
There are so many things that I want, but I don't have anymore money.. I think I'll have to keep my pledge where it's at. But if I weren't a month behind in rent, I'd go for that flash drive.
Traded in my pin set for the Hellephant...I don't think I've ever changed my pledge so many times for a Kickstarter!!
Just upped my pledge... Don't tell my partner :D I can go without food for a week I guess for the awesome flash drive!
I couldn't resist anymore. The hellephant did it.. I got hooked with the POSSIBILITY of buying that damn cute flash drive. But April's Army is next week and one never knows what fuckery will show up there that I can't live without, I'm sure the hellephant meant for me will find a nice home with someone else.
Oh my gosh... I was able to resist until that flash drive. You finally got me April... Fun stuff!
Jen you and I will remember together. I don't know why I'm so surprised, but the funding total surged $3000 today ... coincidence? I think not. It's that sweet blue missing ear with the 1gb in it.
@April: Just added $20 to my pledge for a hellephant... must remember to remind you ^_^
Had to up my pledge. Couldn't resist the hellephant, dammit.
I'm up to a $270 pledge already. Flask, collaborative book and now the Hellephant drive. And I still want the badge. You're an evil vampire, April. Draining me of money...instead of blood. But oh how I love the sting of the bite!!
OMG I am sooooo in love with that Hellephant flashdrive! The hellephant is my favourite Regretsy item EVER! So I just upped my pledge! Can't wait to get it! You're a genius April, thanks for coming up with so many ultra cool rewards!!!
The patch is more limited, Toni. You can throw in another $20 for a drive if you want, but you'll have to remind me later when I get your address.
I can't take it! I want so badly to bump up to the Hellephant but I don't want to miss out on my patch, which is more limited. Lovely April, what's the monetary increase to get both the patch and the Hellephant so I can leave it on the patch reward?
I wish I could fit in your luggage.
There will be, Anny!
had to get the patch! But I desperately want the pill box too... Wish there were the option to get both
oh gawd! I love this is raising so much money but you HAVE TO STOP ADDING NEW THINGS! I already have two accounts going to I wouldn't miss out on stuff I wanted and I can not pledge anymore
On an up note my husband thought I was kidding when I asked if I could go to finland so I could do the dinner so now I don't have to sleep on the sofa!
Can't wait for my pdf! If my mother knew what I was spending my unemployment safety net money on, I'd be able to feel their disapproval wafting across the Atlantic... until I'd show her Regretsy.
Thanks, April! I updated my pledge. Perkele you very much!
Janet - get the patch because it's much more limited. I'll go over everything with you when we start collecting addresses and stuff, but I'm sure we'll have enough pill organizers to go around.
Maybe I can fly up to Finland and bring some French fuckerie with me! I can't wait to get my hands on this book.
GAH! I upgraded my pledge the other day to include the pill organizer (better life through chemistry!) but now I want the patch, too! How can I make this happen?!?!?
I upped my pledge to get the patch. I am so ashamed. My husband didn't notice the $25 for tarot cards so I hope he totally misses this. It's not that he would care, so much as it would be incredibly difficult to explain the "value" these items have for me. Thank goodness his birthday is coming up and I can shower him with shiny baubles and distract from my frivolous fuckery.
One flask still available ...
Just noticed, one more drunkard has joined us with the 200$ dinner reward!! Yay! Something tells me that is gonna be a memorable evening/night out in HELLsinki :D
Yeah! Finally had enough money on my card to get my Regretsy Pill container!!!
Ok, so I upped my pledge to 245 dollars to get the 40$ pill box etc aswell + cover international shipping. Is that how it was supposed to be done? Flasks were already sold out AGAIN...
Mari, just pay for whatever you want, and when we get funded I'll go over everything with all of you to make sure you get what you want and it's being sent where you want it to go.
Damn it all to the thirteenth floor of Hel.... I couldn't add the $5 extra for international postage. Now I have to wait for that polite little message from Amazon... "hey, d!ckhead, you forgot the extra for international postage, just like with those tarot cards...."
And now it's official. I'm an enabler. Damn you April, damn you.
April!? Is it gonna be possible to buy the flask and pill box later from the website maybe? Because right now I'm too stupid and/or drunk to change my pledge...how do you choose multiple rewards??
I'm looking forward to guzzling Perfect Gimlets from my flask , rendering me too drunk to read my new book!
Fuck ya!!! I'm so excited about getting my flask and art book. Now, if I can only remember the info of the three other accounts I setup and used to get $25 pledges for my friends (before I knew you could just increase your pledge amount to get multiple items). Gonna hit my Amazon account hard but it will be worth it. My friends are going to freak out when they get their Christmas gifts.
SON OF A BITCH! She added more flasks today while I was at work and I missed out on them again! Oh well, I am sticking with my $125 pledge and getting me super sweet art-paper book and I will just stick to drinking straight from the bottle.
Cookies Ahoy! :)
Woohoo!
Okay, don't hate me, but I switched to the $40 with the pill case because I'll actually use that and the lower price will make hubby less likely to kill me when the credit card bill comes. *hangs head* I am willing to let you stab me with a glittery homemade shank if it helps.
Yay! I get a crappily-bound book now! =D
Funded! Yay! Welcome to Finland April & co!
Looks like some expensive places in Helsinki!
But, based purely on the name:
RESTAURANT GROTESK
From the owners of Demo, a new, casual restaurant serving simple but delicious food.
And the single user comment, that although I don't understand, must have something to do with alcohol.
Uusi Drinkkilista ++
whoooooohoooooooooo!!!!
Woo hoo!! Funded!!
Enjoy Helsinki, devil!
You just f-en did it! It updated while I was checking out the update! Cheers!
I snagged the flask that came available some time in the night - don't hate! But I upped my pledge y $10 to appease the Finnish gods of drunk luck. $14 to go - bitches!!!
Oh noes, someone backed out? Not that it worries me, because we will still make it with only 54 dollar to go (again) but still!
