Hi- I filled out the form (picking three favorite handmade items), but didn't receive anything :(
I thought it was going to be mailed. Is it at Launchpad? Please let me know if it is- no problem for me to pick it up. Thanx.
Guys--never got notificiation RE reward. Pls contact me.
We haven't forgotten about you, we swear! :-) Rewards will be ready in a few weeks. We've acquired almost everything, only a couple more pieces to go. Then it's selection time...
Thanks so much to everyone for the patience, it's much appreciated.
Erm, any idea when supporters will be getting their Unique Handmade Surprise Items? :) Just wondering.
I am thrilled you got the full $6000!
Boy, did I ever promote it; Stumble, Kaboodle, daily on Twitter, Facebook, all over!
Hope you#ll be in touch about my art...

Woohoo!
Congrats!!!
congrats! i look forward to hopefully working with you in the future… still have a ways to go yet :)
1 2 3 you made it! Congrats & can't wait for the details.
Why dont you contact local bands on Kickstart that are making new LPs- if they back you for the $150 they can have 3 hrs to launch new LP!!
With 33 hrs to go- and $800 to make...start to get into overdrive!
Id love to see someone in Chicago do something like this!
i think this is a great idea - DiY spaces like this are definitely the future! a friend and i are about to start one in the east SF bay area.
here's to success in your project!
go Launch Pad go!!!
Wow! This is a dream project. I've wanted to create a similar space for artists.
1. For young people to live, learn and cultivate ideas
2. To display, share and sell the art of marginalized artists who finish school and than feel like they have few outlets to expose their art and survive as artists without bastardizing it
3. Somewhere to show films, run workshops and create a community of artists and appreciators
I wish you all the best and hope more projects like this will reach Toronto where rent is so exorbitant in the dt area that great bookstores like pages ($235,000 yearly rent) and other business have been forced out by condos. Hope to pop by your digs in the spring. Cheers!
This is awesome! Love the idea, and I wish you guys all the best with the project.
:D this is pretty radical actually. Looking forward to a space to play with other people and their projects too. http://kck.st/9eJkLR
i think this is the most amazing project ever, ever. i only wish i were in new york to enjoy it. good luck guys :)
Great to hear about this, would love to know more and let me know how I can help.
As a resident of Franklin Ave., I'm very excited to see this project come to fruition. Good luck!
fantastic! This is a great idea, wish there were more places like Launch Pad out there.
This is dope! I record in Park Slope at Seaside Lounge. Know exactly where this spot is. I can't wait to see what you do. The name's Koji and I'll be by to say HI! Cheers to COMMUNITY!
