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 May 6, 2011.

We have lift-off!!

Update #4 · May 5, 2011 · comment

Thank you everyone so much!!  We crossed the threshold yesterday around lunchtime.  I was attending my 4-year-old's preschool Spring Luncheon while it happened.  After lunch I headed off to bowling (my usual Wednesday lunch plans) and discovered a volley of facebook/twitter/email Leonard love.

I was (am) totally overwhelmed and honored by this.  Over 300 people have given money for a record that hasn't been made yet.  And some of you gave a LOT of money!!

It's said all the time, but rarely is it so obvious: 

I couldn't do this without you.

Thank you.

We've still got about 22 hours left (until 9 Central Friday night) and all the funds that come in now will be set aside for the video component.  Which is a whole new world of fun for me.  I can't wait.

So tell your friends!  Make sure you get the T-shirt or the custom guitar pedal!  Last chance!!

And thank you!!!  I'll write again tomorrow after all is said and done.
