Insane Stretch Goal: Stephen Colbert
OK, a lot of times when campaigns make their funding, they will add stretch goals to improve their project, bring other features to bear, etc. We're going to try to do something different, but one that we think will raise the profile of the book and its artists with just a shade over two days left.
Based on some projections earlier in the week, we had an outside chance of hitting $8000. While we've fallen off that pace a little since we made our goal, we'd like to see about getting back on that upward trend.
So, if we can make 8000 by midnight on Thursday, we'll be dedicating the book to Stephen Colbert. We'll make sure he gets a copy as well. But we can only do it if you help spread the word! I'm working on getting it on his radar before the campaign closes, but any help you can give in that regard would be much appreciated. Do it for America!
Let your friends know! Let's see if we can get this book on Comedy Central!

Shannon, if you want Colbert in on this you should really remove the "b" word from the first paragraph. He'll get scared away before he gets to the good part!
