With 7 Pyronaut level backers, those backers hoping for event tix should be backing at the $400 level and above if they want to be first in line to get event tickets.

I just upped my pledge by another 50%.  Can we get to the Soil Microscopy  presentation stretch goal?  That would be pretty cool.  Soil health is a foundational thing.  It would be great to learn more about it from Alan Brooker!

If somebody goes for the $3000 reward, then it has a chance!

My understanding is that both Jen and Josiah backed the kickstarter with just minutes to go.  And they both got tickets to the PDC - so they met.   And now they are married.

It was seriously exciting to watch! There's just 15 minutes to go, and we're halfway to the next stretch goal!

It looks like somebody got their pledge in one full minute after the kickstarter ended.  Wacky!

Maybe they were in the process of adding or changing it, and so kickstarter let it go through?

Time to start tidying up.  

We need to take down the banners.

I disabled the thread boost.  

Beau updated the kickstarter to show where people can pre-order the movie.  And he created a thread so folks can give us feedback about how we did.  here it is
