SUCCESS! We did it!
The Lotus and the Artichoke - Vegan Cookbook
Kickstarter campaign: SUPER SUCCESS!
What an exciting, exhilarating ride it's been. I'm still floating in the air, and I'm surprised I got much sleep last night with all the anticipation of the finish line.
The project received 225% of its funding goal!
We also crushed all 4 Stretch Goals:
- Adding sticker packs and other extras to most reward packages
- Expanding the cookbook with 5 more German recipes
- Adding another 5 Southeast Asian recipes to the cookbook
- Securing the funds for the German edition translation and printing
Enough numbers and facts. Let's take a minute for some serious gratitude!
Last night, I got a late night shout out from The Vegan Zombie on his Facebook page! How cool is that?
More last day love came from friends and accomplices:
- Ryan & Ang at Jets Like Taxis (See you in Montenegro in 2 wks!)
- Sarah of Vegan Guerilla
- Travels of Adam
- Deva of Fresh Pastry Stand
- Lynn at Scissors & Spice
- Tim at Marginal Boundaries
- The Impaler Speaks
While I'm up at the podium, I want to acknowledge the most significant supporters of this project. I'm talking about loved ones and FAMILY: Julia, Mom, Dad, and my amazing brothers Adam, Spencer, and Ian. So much love, so much help, in so many ways! Love to the spouses and kids, too!
Special thanks also to: Alex & Adina, Andrea & Ross, Bram, Brook, B Lee, Christi, Dana, Eugen, Holly, Kristen, Marcus, Mukund, Scott G, Stefan, and Tom M. Your generosity, feedback, and encouragement made a huge difference in the success and enjoyment of this campaign and project.
So many more of you contributed, participated, pledged our way to success. Many of you also Shared and Tweeted and Liked and Commented this project throughout its course.
I'm incredibly thankful to all of you. Your words, as well as your hard-earned dollars are totally appreciated. With your consent, all of your names will be in the cookbook as my heroes!
In the coming weeks I'll be in touch with you...
...to express more gratitude for your generosity and interest – and to find out where exactly all these reward packages will be sent, and to ask you questions about t-shirt sizes, color choices, book signings, dedications, and all that other fun stuff.
Love & Gratitude,
Justin

Hi Lisa, I definitely sent you a short message just before I replied to your comment 2 days ago. I can't find it in the system either. Not sure what happened, sorry! I'll try again now.
Creator Lisa G. on October 13, 2012
Justin, I did not get a message.
Creator Justin P. Moore on October 12, 2012
Thanks everyone! :) Lisa- I sent you a message, we'll work something out.
I should be setting up another pre-order method soon – so existing backers and new arrivals can still get the goods!
Creator Anthony Lee on October 12, 2012
Congratulations! :)
Creator Lisa G. on October 11, 2012
Hooray! Is there a way to add the German print cookbook? I missed the deadline! :(
