Again, a huge THANKS to everyone that supported this project!
As promised, now that we have reached the benchmark of $2,500 we have added a new reward tier. 3 Who Will Save The World? shot glasses! This new reward tier is $50 and includes the previous tiers. If you have backed this project at one of the higher reward tiers and would like to have these included all you have to do is increase your pledge by $15 and send me a note letting me know that you would like the shot glasses as well. Thank you all for the great support! We have a mere $487 to go to meet our goal!
We have made a second video to help promote Who Will Save The World? this time featuring music by our friends at I-Disagree. Once we reach the benchmark of $2,500 (just $102 to go for the next benchmark as of this posting!) we will be adding a new incentive level.
