The home stretch: Everybody's in for $1!
Wow. Thanks to your amazing (and, honestly, really moving) generosity, as we finish the final week of our campaign (it ends Saturday afternoon!), we are zooming to the target of $5,000. Portland Afoot's free mobile edition is almost certainly going to happen! The electric-hoverbus-riding Portlanders of the future are going to be so grateful.
So it’s time to focus on expanding our community and giving everyone a chance to support this campaign.
Share this project far and wide. We want...
More people.
That's why, for our final few days, we're embracing the $1 donation.
To show how excited we are about everybody getting involved with this, we've come up with an expanded list of bizarrely personalized things we will actually do for you if you pledge $1 (or more).
The more people that are a part of Portland Afoot's next phase, the more will feel like they've got a stake in it, and the bigger a kick our sweet digital magazine will get when it launches. Be part of that. Help us cross the finish line in style, with the wind at our back and/or a daypass in our pocket.
Finally, just to prove our excitement about every single one of our incredible backers for this project, we're going to make a huge chalk mural of a floating electric hover bus drawn entirely with the names of our Kickstarter backers.
Hop on this bus with your friends. Share our story.
And thank you so much for being part of it.

Oh, definitely, Ted. The prizes are mostly for fun; we're obviously happy to give you copies of all the digital stuff you want. I'll probably actually include links to all of them in our subsequent communications with backers.

that is awesome! I changed from the $10 pledge to the $1 pledge (even though I'm pledging more than $1). Can I get the link/pdf AND the $1 reward?
