Only 27 hours to go!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidlamotte/white-flour-book
As of 8AM Eastern on Saturday, we are inching up on $35,000 on the kickstarter campaign to launch this book BIG. It is extraordinary to see all the 'buzz' this is generating—especially for a book that won't be out for almost two months!! Blowing past our original goal has allowed us to take this to a much bigger place. Yesterday I signed the order for over five tons of books on seven skids. This project is far bigger, in every way, than anything I've done before—and that is directly due to your support. Thank you.
Only 27 hours remain in the effort, so please spread the word!
The kickstarter campaign will end on Sunday at 11:25AM. That means we're into our last full day of working on this. After it ends, we will follow up with you to double-check and make sure we're sending you exactly what you wanted, and your pledges will be charged to your credit cards. Then I'll start calling those of you who pledged at that level to thank you personally. Then in late May we'll ship out your stuff!
Speaking truth to flour
This project is developing some fascinating fans—stay tuned for some celebrity endorsements by some people who are not only famous, but are also really fine people. Wish I could tell you who, but we're still lining up the permission to print the quotes. Stay tuned, eh?
If you want to forward this to any of your friends, here's a good link to share:
It's a performance of the poem during a concert at Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church in Atlanta last month, and it has some of the images from the book and some information about the project at the end.
Thanks again for midwifing this miracle.
Big hugs,
David

SMILE! I will look up from my computer and grin and be thankful for your kind support. Then I will celebrate that there are people in the world who are happy to trade a dollar for a smile, and to help with an effort to tell an inspiring story with no tangible reward to themselves. You rock.
