Backer Surveys!
We've been rolling out backer surveys and are excited to finally move on to the surveys for all the actual hard good tiers. Fill 'em out and get them back to us! We're champing at the bit to actually get all these things made and have lined up some fantastic partners to make sure everything -- from the stickers to the glorious art prints and shirts -- are of the highest quality. We think you will agree and be delighted.
For those of you that asked to jump UP to a new tier, we've been handling that by a case by case basis via Kickstarter message. We will post an update when the opportunity to do that has closed, but for now, feel free to send us a Kickstarter message if you'd like to increase your pledge and jump up (or if there's anything squirrely with your reward situation, in general). One thing to keep in mind: if you jumped up to a higher tier we are handling that by, er, hand. You will be sent the survey for your ORIGINAL tier. FILL IT OUT ANYWAY. Rest assured that if you paid to jump up to a higher tier you'll be receiving the higher tier rewards. We got you. We love you.
Thanks everybody!

Creator Sean Talon on June 4, 2012
"so it was a good fit all-round." OH, DELICIOUS PUN
Creator grumbeld on June 1, 2012
What a great start to my morning! Thanks Survey!
Creator GameDreamer on May 31, 2012
Survey complete! Excited as hell!
Creator Idle Thumbs on May 31, 2012
Not yet! We've sent out surveys for all tiers except 200 and up. Sending shortly!
Creator Chase Becotte on May 31, 2012
Should I start bugging you if I haven't received a survey yet?
Creator René Have on May 31, 2012
Oh crap. After seeing the size chart, I think I need a smaller size t-shirt. Is it possible to change?
Creator Idle Thumbs on May 30, 2012
yes -- that chart is for US sizes. metric sizing is at the bottom but we're ordering and using US sized shirts.
Creator Gringor on May 30, 2012
got a question relating to the shirts: are those american t-shirt sizes? I always thought there is a difference between european and american clothing-sizes?!
Creator Idle Thumbs on May 30, 2012
The sizing chart Juha has posted is correct. We're using American Apparel brand shirts because there are economically the best choice for a quality garment, made in the US in decent working conditions. Our print shop is an independently run spot right here in SF and works primarily with American Apparel shirts so it was a good fit all-round.
Creator MrHoatzin on May 30, 2012
Ugh, must it be American Apparel? :(
Creator Juha Meriruoho on May 30, 2012
I think read somewhere that the Idle Thumbs shirts were from American Apparel so the size charts on their pages should be correct.
For example this for men:

Hooray for love!
Creator Ben - Xenon Special Forces on May 30, 2012
American sizes are a bit bigger than any other regions sizes I've been to, but in general T-Shirt sizes don't really differ by THAT much. As long as you consider that you will be fine. The most common shirt is American Apparel and their size chart can be found if you search google for "american apparel size chart" (for some reason I can't paste the link here) so you can probably just check that.
Creator Geof Aberhart on May 30, 2012
Actually that's a good question. I have no idea what American t-shirt sizes are like....
Creator Brandon Lennie on May 30, 2012
Is there a link to any sizing charts for the t-shirts?
