A Surprise Challenge

Update #2 · Mar 4, 2012 · comment

We really expected our last Kickstarter message to be one of defeat. However, an anonymous donor has contacted us and is willing to match any pledged amount if and only if we reach $2000.

So we are only $425 short of that $2,000 goal. This is it, one last hope and push. This is an all or nothing shot. We hit $2000 – we are funded in full.  We fall short - we are not.

Are there any more backers out there? Campaign ends Thursday at 9:17PM EST.

Challenge issued as deadline approaches

Update #1 · Feb 27, 2012 · comment

I issued a challenge this weekend and it is paying off. My challenge is that if we successfully reach our goal by the deadline, I will get a crew-cut and shave my beard for the trip. Needless to say, people thought that it was a great idea and want to see the hair come off. Below is a picture of me from September 1972, hope I can still pull off the look in 2012!


If you know of someone who wants to pledge but has not yet, please let them know that time is running out.
