We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 9, 2011.

WE... No... YOU DID IT!!!

Update #8 · Sep 7, 2011 · comment

As you can see YOU DID IT! You have delivered us to our goal with a couple days to spare! YAY! We are so excited to know when we leave to go to Phoenix on Saturday morning for our first show that evening (YIPES!) that we will be able to pay the theater rentals, rent the film equipment, buy plane tickets, rent care, afford to bring our two excellent filmmakers with us, and make an awesome documentary for YOU!

And if you or anybody you know still wants to help, we are still accepting donations. We asked for our bare bones budget because we had no idea that we would make it, but you know... we might like to eat while we are on the road. Just kidding. All your donations will be put towards making the movie and the tour more successful! We'll eat when we get home.

Also check this awesome appeal that is running on Sandra Bernhard's episode of WTF with Marc Maron.
