      There was no option to say I discovered this project on Kickstarter. You might ask how many discovered the project this way. Kickstarter might appreciate that data.

      Peace

      I'd say good luck, but with only $310 to go- I don't think you'll need it. ;)

      Can't wait to see the finished project!

      Cheers!
