Postcards from Rio

Update #4 · Dec 8, 2011 · comment

Dear Backers,

Although we are still $1000 off our target with 6 days to go, I am going ahead with the thank you postcard plan.

1) because I am optimistic that we will make it, and,

2) if I leave it until we are certain that the target will be reached then it will be too late to write and send the postcards from Rio, and,

3) we appreciate your support and would love you to have a postcard whether the target is reached or not.

SO, IMPORTANT: please please email chris@thebuskingproject.com as soon as possible with your address, or the address you would like the postcard to go.

Kind Thanks,

Belle
