Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 21, 2012.
Wow! Thank you Backers for what you are doing to keep up the momentum. $1,000 in pledges in one day! I am so amazed and excited by your enthusiasm. Thank you.
This is update #30, can we match this number and get to $30,000 in the next 4 days? Are you with me? Keep the momentum going!
This weekend has been tremendous. We are now past $26,000 and closing in on $27,000. Thanks to all. Let's keep the momentum! Just 5 more days, April 21st will be here soon.
For all Backers and Japanese language readers, Rafu Shimpo has done a major article on Taylor and LIVE YOUR DREAM. For anyone who can read Japanese in the US, or if you wish to help encourage a pledge from Japan, please let them know about this wonderful article.
We tweeted "Who will be the 200th backer?" and now we know. Masae Nakano. We are so delighted.
We have crossed the $25,000 mark in pledges. This is fantastic, and I feel new momentum in this final week. Can we work together over the next 6 days and cross the next milestone? I know we can!
Keep tweeting, emailing, Facebook linking and just plain old fashioned phone calls.
Thank you Backers!!! Thank you so much!

Please send one more email, call one more friend, post something on your Facebook page, help us crest $25,000 in the next 7 days. I know we can do this!
I will be posting more updates during these final days, but I need your support. Let's all work together. Let's all LIVE THE DREAM.
