112%!
Dear Backers, thanks to your pledging, we successfully completed our Kickstarter goal of raising $25,000 towards opening AQ. In fact, you literally went above and beyond by pledging 112% of our goal: $28,115!
Now that the campaign is over, those of you that pledged for T-Shirts, Bricks and the Cocktail Creation will receive a brief email survey so we can gather info and get you your rewards. The rest of you will be able to enjoy your rewards once AQ opens this Fall.
I will do my best to keep everyone updated on our progress and I look forward to meeting and hosting each of you at AQ. If you are local, please don't hesitate to get in touch via email or swing by and say hello to our construction crew.
Cheers,
Matt
