Ladies and gents,

Thanks for you patience these past few weeks as we close in on the finished typeface. We just wanted to let you know that things so far are going swell, and Chatype is being gradually incorporated into the Chattanooga experience.

We have finalized the incentive designs and written a new post showing them off. You can read about it here. We'll be dropping them in the mail very soon, and will be polling you soon for additional information such as shirt sizes and addresses.

We'll post a few more updates on Kickstarter (more promptly, too!) to let you know what's happening. Feel free to follow us on Twitter or keep up to date on Facebook.

Thanks!

Ladies and gents, friends and neighbors, hipsters and hillbillies, backers and benefactors:

Thanks again for your continued support of Chatype. As a way to say "Thank You" and "Yay, we did it!", the team has organized a party at a super-cool local event space/hostel called The Crash Pad.

Meeting that goal and completing the Kickstarter "campaign" is just the first stage of our journey. We have a lot of work ahead (and a lot of fun times, too). But, before we get ahead of ourselves, we want to stop, raise a glass to Chattanooga, and have a good time with our fellow citizens. 

So, if you're in the area, please join us this Saturday from 7-10p. We'll have $2 Big River beer, food, music, and a short ceremony to thank some important people in this Chatype initiative. If you are a backer and will be able to come, please let us know ahead of time: We're making special buttons only backers get to wear! Come on down and get-CHA some.

See you there!

Ladies and gents, 

We are pleased to announce that just moments ago, 9 days away from our deadline with 228 backers, CHATYPE OFFICIALLY MET OUR KICKSTARTER GOAL!!!

We're ecstatic! Thank you to everyone who who gave to this effort. We'll keep you updated on all the fun things we get to do now that our Kickstarter campaign is successful. 

We couldn't, and wouldn't, have done it without you.

Thank you.

Hey ladies and gents,

Hope your Valentine's Day was super! 

The Chatype Team has been working hard to map out the next few weeks as we conclude the Kickstarter phase of Chatype. We even left our day jobs. We wanted to send another THANK YOU to everyone who's backed us so far or liked us on Facebook or retweeted us on Twitter or sent cookies to our homes. 

That might have been suggestive...

We should soon be able to share some of the designs for the tees, postcards, and posters you'll be receiving when we're funded. We also gave Chatype.com a small makeover to include more info about the team, a blog, and the much awaited donor wall. Check it out. 

Now. 

Thanks!

First off, thanks to Kickstarter for featuring us on their blog when we first launched and as their Project of the Day on Monday. We are thrilled that Chatype is getting so much buzz. We wanted to share some of the other places around the web that Chatype is popping up. Some of these are brand new, some are a week or so old. We didn't want to leave anybody out. Our favorite is still the Chattanooga Times Free Press article. :) Thanks to everyone who's taking a second to pass on our effort.
