IF I'D KNOWN BACK THEN

Update #2 · Mar 4, 2012 · 1 comment

Once again, we've had a remarkable week.  Our sincere thanks to everyone who has helped us come within $400 of our goal with 15 days left!

That said, there's still work to be done.  Both Kickstarter and Amazon take a cut of everything we raise -- the total is somewhere between 8-10% -- in exchange for their services.  So we're asking again that  you share the link to our project with your friends, co-workers, family -- anyone you think might be interested and willing to pledge.  Facebook posts and Tweets are greatly appreciated, too.  The more funds we raise, the more time it buys us to finish our book.

We're also adding some new rewards to sweeten the pot, including an mp3 of "Ugga-Bugga," an original Bruce Springstone song first broadcast on Dr. Demento's nationally syndicated radio show; Tom's Cartoon Map of Baltimore, a full-color, 36" x 24" celebration of the people, landscape, history & culture of our fair city; and a few rare copies of the Bruce Springstone: Live at Bedrock 12" vinyl single.

Thanks again for your support and for helping us spread the word about If I'd Known Back Then!

--Craig & Tom.
