Hey, Janeen! You can buy more t-shirts in our e-store! Thank you! http://www.getvegucated.com/store/
Can we buy extra shirts and will there be a sweatshirt?
Another project I funded asked for shipping address seperately.... will you do the same or do you get some address from Amazon? Because I've since moved and need it to go to my current address. Not sure what to do. :)
We're certain that this film will attain the desired impact of waking people up, well done!!
Since we're in Australia, I'm happy to send the extra postage which was overlooked initially so please let me know how to do this now.
Can't wait to see the DVD (which I'll share with the Vegan Society NSW) and T-shirt (Summer is on the way!) but really am excited about appearing in the credits.
This is win-win-win-win-win-win, a brilliant effort Marissa!
So amazing!!! Congrats!
YAY! Congratulations!
Congratulations--can't wait to see the film--and to drag some non-veggie friends along!

Such a privilege to support all this project represents. You all are amazing! How awesome that you invite us all to be a part in small and big ways. I'll be tapping into you all for more ways to vegucate others and keep myself vegucated. God Bless the work of your hands.
I heard about this project a while ago, so its great to finally see it come to fruition. Good luck Marisa! Glad I was able to support!
We saw this FANTASTIC movie at Summerfest 2011! I am so excited to see the enthusiasm and I am sharing this link with all my friends! Good luck and I am watching the progress!
Peace,
Cindy Ball
It's an honor to support something I love so much, and that will do so much good. Years from now, when people talk about what made them "wake up", I know they will cite Vegucated. You are changing lives. And keeping us smiling while doing it. :)
i am SO GLAD to be a backer of this project, and it's been exciting to spread the word and also to watch the # of backers and money go up, up, UP!
Looks great, glad the screening was such a hit! Best of luck on the campaign, it looks like you're off to an amazing start...
I am so happy to be supporting this documentary. I hope this film will change lives. I am so proud to be vegan and I think any opportunity to educate people is a valuable one.
Really happy to be supporting this documentary. Will try the Vegucated challenge at GetVegucated.com - but it's going to take me a little while to gear up for it.
