      yay Dave!! and glad to hear you'll have stuff by the NYC show! I'd love to go to that and check it out (hmmmm....maybe I will.) It's so great to see how KickStarter has worked for you, and it's given me a few ideas too.

      What can I say, people love mechs. No one more than me. I saw a lot of potential when I viewed your video and which made me not mind "kickstarting" your project. Oh lord. I'm also backing another project I thought you may be interested in http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thelastcause/the-last-cause-feature-film
      they required much more assistance, watch the video and you’ll see why. Keep up the good work. Its only when you do what you love is when you truly live.
