      Hi Lawrence, thanks for your comments.

      Yes! It will cost MUCH MORE than $1000 for our group to have a successful Scandinavian tour. By using all of our group's meager savings from past performances, plus $1000 from Kickstarter, we should have just enough to buy our airfare from Chicago to Scandinavia and back. There will be additional costs we'll need funded: food, housing, transportation within the countries, and festival entrance fees! Any additional funds we can raise on Kickstarter will go directly to providing for these many costs.

      Thanks for the suggestion of adding more stepped amounts. (As a reminder, anyone who wishes to support us on Kickstarter can give at any amount--not just the ones listed.) However, the incentives we had to offer at the moment fit best with the three pledge levels chosen. We'll keep brainstorming for other great ideas for pledges between $30 and $250.

      Thanks again for your support!

      Two thoughts:
      #1 - Don't you need much more than $1000 for everyone to travel to Scandinavia???
      #2 - You might add some stepped amounts between $30 and $250 if it's not too late.

      Best of luck... looks like you've got a good start!
