Update #29: T-Minus 46 hours and counting... (updated)

Posted on December 9, 2009

There are 46 hours left in the Kickstarter funding period, $11,395 raised (and counting), and Multiplex has just been named the Kickstarter Project of the Day. I'd say that's a good way to start off the day.

Thanks to your incredibly generous pledges, I'm most likely going to order 1500 books instead of the planned 1000. (For roughly $700 more, I would get 500 more books — enough to send review copies around to lots of comics, book, and maybe even movie sites, and possibly get the per-unit cost down low enough to unload some to distributors. Hopefully. Even if they sit in storage for a year or two before they sell through, it'll still be much cheaper than a second printing.)

If you have pledged already, thank you so much for helping make this book exist (well, soon). Your cards/Amazon Payments account should be charged on Saturday, or shortly thereafter.

If you haven't pledged yet, this is your last opportunity to (sort of) pre-purchase all of the eBooks, get the Multiplex/Breafast Club parody T-shirt, or get a cameo appearance in the prequel story in the book! If you just want the book, that's alright, too, of course; feel free to just wait until the book is available — late Summer 2010!
UPDATE: 300 backers. $12,236,50 raised (why the extra 50¢?). 15 hours to go!
