      Great - thanks Logan!! Happy to know it worked out and really appreciate the extra pledge! You support throughout this entire campaign has been astonishing!

      Logan Fry on April 9, 2010

      Sorry, I figured it out. I just processed the new pledge total as if were an initial pledge. It will then process through Amazon. Don't forget to hit the "confirm" button at Amazon. The pledge should register immediately!

    29. Sq_logan.thumb
      Logan Fry on April 9, 2010

      Okay, I'm confused. I was an original backer @ $25.00. Today's offer is way too much to pass up!! I want "What's Up Lovely" AND "New York Lately" (and "Death of the Dead," too, btw, but that's not in the offer!!!)

      In any event, I want to add not just $10.00 more, but another $25.00. So I put $25.00 in the box and hit the $50.00 radio button. That didn't work. Then I hit the $25.00 radio button. That just took me back to the main page. Right now, I don't know if I successfully added an additional $25.00, did it twice (I didn't intend that), or didn't add anything at all.

      HELP!!! (Is there a page which shows you your total?)

      Thanks David! We are definitely blessed to have so many people believe in our project -- and in us! The generosity (including yours) is very much appreciated and humbling. Still have a ways to go but it feels good to be a little over halfway there now!
