ONE WEEK TO GO!

Update #5 · Aug 18, 2011 · 1 comment
Dear Backers - Thanks to you, we did it ... and we're still going! Nearly 30,000 projects have launched (or attempted to launch) by way of KickStarter since 2009, and HAVE GLOVE, WILL TRAVEL is earning its stripes amongst the best of them. So far we have raised over $40k, exceeding our minimum goal of $37k in 37 days. Currently we are working on the details for SPACE CAMP, and making a final push to end the campaign with a BANG. There are just a few spots left for Bill's Inaugural event. We are hosting a special dinner event with Bill at Anchovies Restaurant in Boston's South End (433 Columbus Ave between Braddock Park & Holyoke St) this coming Monday, starting at 6pm. The Spaceman will be there giving a play-by-play of the Red Sox game, we'll be holding a silent auction, and ringing a not so silent gong. If you're in the Boston area, drop by for what promises to be a great night of baseball, food, and drinks. ONE WEEK TO GO then it's on to phase two - let the games begin. In sincere gratitude, Brett http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1967598918/have-glove-will-travel-the-bill-spaceman-lee-movie

      First, congrats on reaching the goal - not that there was any doubt there :-).

      Brett, I'd like to begin to make plans for the Vermont trip - wondering if all of the Irene mess or an other variables have affected the date. It's a logistics mess to get from Virginia to Vermont (especially if I want to make a couple of 'sidetrips'), so if you can provide us an update, I'd appreciate it.

      Best,
      Frank
