$5,190! We've made our goal and more . . .
Dear Financiers,
Thank you so much for your support!
We have already surpassed our $5,000 goal ($5,190 and counting) and still have 24 hours left before Kickstarter officially ends our 30-day campaign.
Quite a few people have made contributions despite the attainment of our goal, because they'd simply been meaning to and they realize that time is almost up. Although we didn't anticipate this, we sure appreciate the extra generosity.
Any pledges that we receive in addition to the five-thousand dollar goal will pay for unforeseen expenses (as there always are with such ventures) and will help to offset the costs of running the fundraising campaign (Kickstarter and Amazon both take a small percentage).
Once again, we would like to voice our heartfelt appreciation for believing in us and our work. And I, for one, am looking forward to making some prank phone calls.
Sincerely,
Joe (for the Ars Mechanica team)
Almost there!

Halfway Home!
As Blackalicious says in a track on their Blazing Arrow album, we're "halfway home."
Thanks everyone! We've raised $2,588, which is amazing. Now we have 13 days to go to reach the all-or-nothing $5,000 goal . . . Allez, allez . . .
Woohoo! $1,160 -- over one fifth of the way there!
Thank you, dear backers!
In the last 24 hours we have broken into the $1,000 range. We're one fifth of the way to Italy, which puts us somewhere north of Newfoundland on our international flight path to Italy.
We are flattered and grateful for your support. This IS possible . . .
Sincerely,
Joe (on behalf of Ars Mechanica)

Bell-e-gram: Telegrams are cool and rare. Bell-e-grams are even cooler and even more rare. At this donation level, the beautiful actresses of the Bell show will deliver a singing telegram to whomever you choose. The performance can be a sweet, sincere and diminutive; over-the-top and silly, or whatever you like. We have to limit the delivery of the Bell-e-gram to locations in the Greater Toronto Area, but we can send a recording of the event to wherever you are on the planet Earth. (Plus, you get all of the cool stuff already mentioned above).
