Every little bit helps. This is the long tail area, and we'll put your contribution to good use. You'll get access to backer's updates and perhaps you can help us spread the word?

The DIGITAL PARTY PACK. Jay is making a colouring book about life on the border. David is making a game called Contraband where smugglers face off against border guards. Give us your $7 and we'll send you PDFs of both of these. You can print them off and enjoy them with friends.

Niagara Falls ALTERNATE HISTORY NEWSPAPER. A lot of people have had utopian visions for cities that relied on the INFINITE POWER of Niagara Falls. Albert's project is a retrospective that examines what history would have been like if one of them had been built. For $10 we'll send you 4 front pages from the newspaper of a hypothetical place, printed on newsprint. Also, you get the DIGITAL PARTY PACK.

5 BORDER TOWN BUTTONS. Lea has designed 5 stylized maps of famous border towns. You can see them over there on the left. We'll put them on 1.5" buttons and send them to you and you can be popular at parties (assuming you go to the kind of parties where clever cartographic design makes you popular). Plus, we'll send you the NEWSPAPER and the DIGITAL PARTY PACK

PRINT PARTY PACK. Greg, Cyrus and Jordan are exploring the emotional dynamics of border towns with micro-fictions told through photos and text. We will send you selections from their project compressed down to post-card size along with the NEWSPAPER, BUTTONS. Not to mention the DIGITAL PARTY PACK.

Plus, you will get the DIGITAL PARTY PACK and - naturally - the PRINT PARTY PACK.

CUSTOM SKIRT. Lea will make you a custom wrap skirt which will feature a design based on the intricate borders of Baarle Hertog/Baarle Nassau, screen printed by hand. Of course, we will also send you the DIGITAL PARTY PACK.
