      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.

      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.

      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!

      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!
