Update #10: Crap Hound #4: The Final Countdown!
Posted on February 2, 2010
Dear Readers,
Well, with 10 days left on the clock we are 78% funded! We have $2,735.00 left to go. I feel like I've tapped out our immediate circle of fans and patrons and am now relying on others to spread the word even further. We've been written up on Boing Boing and ReadyMade -- two of the biggest and best places I can think of -- do any of you have other suggestions or connections to share? Fecal Face and the Make Magazine blog come to mind if anyone knows someone who knows someone...
Browsing projects here has become a new pastime of mine! I've now (very modestly) backed a number of projects and discovered new titles for the shop like, Remedy Quarterly and Put An Egg On It. Celebrity millionaires may be investing fortunes in a coconut water company (I'm not making this up) but creating social capital out of the goodness of our hearts is so much cooler. Creative expression, the act of turning nothing but an idea into something tangible, is such an amazing feeling and important experience. Kickstarter provides an invaluable testing ground and an accessible means of raising funds for such ventures.
Thanks again for your support -- it means a lot to know so many people are so enthusiastic about our efforts! I'm so grateful to Kickstarter for simply existing but also for the props they've given us throughout our project cycle. If successfully funded, we'll be able to roll out the next issue without going a penny into debt and it will set us on a path of self-sustainability. I'm already dreaming up new ideas and future projects to launch!
Your Faithful Proprietress,
Chloe

SOLD OUT

RANDOM REWARD: Haunted Mansion 40th Anniversary Box Set. Only 999 were made and sold out at the anniversary event! Sean actually designed this handsome package which contains a reproduction of the original vinyl album, and also includes two CDs, an 11 page booklet, and two prints. These sets are still shrink wrapped and nearly mint condition except for the fact that the UPC code on the bottom side of the box has been exed out since these were comps. They're currently selling for $225-$250.

DISTRIBUTORS/STORES ONLY!!! We've decided to offer just 10 cartons (30 issues per carton) of Crap Hound #4 for wholesale accounts only at a 40% discount + shipping. It's very likely the cover price will go up on this issue as our printing bids are coming in a little higher than expected, so your 40% discount could turn into a 50% or higher discount as you're locked in at the $12 per issue rate! We'll also throw in 30 buttons and 30 stickers to give out to your customers and you'll get a thank you with a link to your site on our blog and Facebook page! This offer is only available for resellers (you'll be asked to provide some proof if it's not obvious), and only to those in the continental United States.
