Kickstarter

So as you probably already know the project lacked complete funding, which means your money has been returned. I will be posting gear for sale on the site as well as a preorder button for the book. If you guys still want shirts and whatnot you can go over to http://losangelesswimmin.com/ in the future and I will have a "shop" link with all kinds of neat stuff. All of the proceeds will go to the creation of the book. Thank you so much for the support, it's good to know that so many people are interested in my endeavour. You guys mean everything to me!

Hey everyone, I designed 2 more shirts to choose from. I am doing custom orders on shirts so tell me what size, color and graphic you want and I will personally screen your shirt. If you got the book and want to upgrade your reward to the book and a T-shirt it's only $40. Deal of the Universe if you ask me.

Hello everyone, I want to take this time to say thanks again for backing my project and spend a moment clarifying a few things. Someone asked me why the book release date is Jan 2013 and the other rewards are in June 2012. Well, the planned publishing date is January of next year so the book will not be out until then. T-shirts, koozies, patches and prints will be delivered in June of this year. Also, if you were not aware, while researching the contents of this book we will be filming a documentary entitled "Cliff Jumping California." It is going to be a full length feature and I'm sure we will have a release party for the DVD and maybe even a screening somewhere next year. The film release is planned after the book so anyone who signed up for the $70 or $500 reward will not get a DVD until March of 2013. I hope that clears things up.

Also there is a new t-shirt to choose from, look for it at the bottom of the description page.

If you have not passed the link to the project along please do it, I need all the exposure and support I can get.

Thanks everyone,

Thanks everyone who donated! The project is off to an amazing start. We got 10% of our goal within 3 days of our launch. At this rate we will reach our goal in 30 days! Lets keep up the momentum. Please forward the project link to as many people as possible.

I have added some new rewards to the project. For $40 you can get a signed copy of the book and a Los Angeles Swimmin T-shirt, that is a 25% discount off the shirt! Remember, you can upgrade your reward at any time, just click on the "Manage Your Pledge" button on the right sidebar of the project page.

Also, 5% of all book sales will go to savestateparks.org. Save Our State Parks is an organization dedicated to the conservation of our State Park system here in California. Most of you know about our state's budget crisis; our park system was one of the first programs to get cut. SOSP is dedicated to raising funds to protect our State Parks so future generations can enjoy the scenic beauty California is famous for.

Thanks again everyone for donating, remember to pass this project along; the more people who see it, the better chance it has to succeed!
