Pranks for the investment! Insert yourself into our history. Entry into the private conference, plus the opportunity to completely invent and write up your own Mondo 2000 experience stories and have them inserted (with editorial help and discretion) into the publicly available content. Plus all of the above.
Thanks for the update! Good to know this one is still going strong, I am looking forward to it's completion.
You're right, my bad. Great to hear there's progress! Apologies for the harsh comment.
"At the end of the process, estimated to take approximately two years..."
We're about 16 months in so I'm not sure what's ridiculous. I have been a bit lax on the reports -- it's been a rough year or so -- and I apologize for that, but yes... there's lots of progress. I was planning the next report for next week and I guess now I will have some thoughts for anyone who is getting impatient or is otherwise unsatisfied
This is getting fucking ridiculous.. How's this project coming along? Any progress? Anything?
Matthew,
You sent me a donation after the Kickstarter campaign closed. The site isn't set up to add latecomers but I've got you listed.

for some reason i am not listed as a backer, but i clearly remember donating.
comments?
I am willing to help transcribe! I teach high school and have a free hour each day to dedicate. I helped transcribe for McSweeney's Hurricane Katrina book. Let me know at dbrianthomas at gmail.
Congrats on reaching your fundraising goal! FTR, after spending some time reading it stories, I've been having pretty good luck with Dragon Dictate for the Mac. Give it a while, use one of the recommended mikes, and try to be someplace reasonably quiet. It's been helpful since the tremors from my MS made typing difficult.
Live long and prosper,
Kennita
Thanks for the prompt! The project continues apace albeit with me behind 10 weeks of carpal tunnel and counting. Still, it's rolling. I'll post a full update next week with a few short excerpts.

Sorry to bother you, since it is a new year and around a quarter since the last update might I trouble you for an update on the project?
Good timing, sort of. We're beavering away at the conferencing website for MONDO participants to tell their stories and insights and argue with each others memories etcetera... and expected to be able to announce by the end of this week but... by next week, probably. By the week after that definitely, at which time I will post an update here on Kickstarter
so...how's it going with this project? Kinda curious...

Great project, looking forward to reading my signed copy one day ;)
Great news that the goal has been met.
Yeah baby, MONDO me!
Happy to be Backer No.50. Will tell my acquaintances about this!
Excited about the project! I miss mondoglobo.net and would love to see a resurgence!
Don't know that I have a contribution of words, but you're welcome to my dollars. It's a very interesting project! I look forward to the book! :)
