Last Days of Version 12

Update #3 · May 25, 2012 · comment

Hello all of you wonderful kickstarter backers! We are winding down Version 12 right now. We hope you had a chance to check out what you funded this year. If you haven't had a chance please join us on our final weekend of activities. http://www.versionfest.org.

We want to thank you all again for helping us produce this wonderful experiment in urban design and intervention.  It is so successful that this year's Version 12 Festival is included in the Venice Architecture Biennale! So congrats to you all for making that happen! We are pretty floored by this..

Many of you Chicago based backers have picked up your rewards at the SMALL Showrom. Thanks for doing that. For those of you that have not, you can stil stop by this weekend at the SMALL Showroom and ask one of us to get you your stuff..  If you cannot make it we will mail rewards to you next week.

And all of you  out of towners will be receiving your rewards package next week as well.

Thanks for being patient and wonderful.

We love you all.
