$37,760 - More than halfway to the PTJ ticket stretch goal!!!

      $39,021!

And we are close to the next stretch goal!

I was so sure I would wake up to a new stretch goal!

Anyone else want a custom url to send to your people?  

Paul's offering a very generous kickback.

Oof ...  it seems stuck.  And I am learning that "using the force" to make the numbers go up isn't working.

40,178!  Stretch goal reached!!!

WOOP! PTJ tickets!

I see your Woot, and raise you one!

PTJ tix:  Woot Woot!

URGH i was not prepared for it to be this week only !!!
I hate these flash kickstarters I never have money when they happen    ^_^

I really really wanted to back this one but with the exchange rate i won't have enough to do the $65 option with the plans with my stupid budget for the rest of this month.
Sigh, time to temper expectations and go lower tier again   :(

Unfortunately someone with sticky fingers at work stole my phone while i was helping to move the office furniture; so i had to buy a new phone otherwise i'd have enough.
The fates are trying to stop me from getting my hands on the plans to build the ultimate indoor kitchen of my dreams !!!

World domination plans postponed until the next kickstarter.

Next time we need a rocket assisted biogas generator with a rocket kitchen and mass hot water heater built in.
Exactly how much can we milk out of a tiny bit of wood... I challenge theeeeeeeeee

Just curious -

Is anyone in backerland raising their pledge just to edge out the competition for the PTJ ticket???

I said I would raise my pledge if we got Permacculture Technology Jamboree tickets as a stretch goal!  

So I am raising my pledge now!

Lets go for the Live Webinar with Paul!  That would be Awesome!

I've seen a few that have a few extra dollars.  Maybe four backers that have a few extra dollars.

Still the most popular film on Kickstarter!

Sometimes the force just has a bit of delay :)
Onwards and upwards!

The next stretch goal is a live webinar with Paul, all about SKIP with a Q & A at the end!

          $43,000!

This is a short kickstarter and the final days are here!  Throw us a bone!  This is our annual fundraiser and how we pay for all-the-things! The more we end up with, the more we get done!

OoooOooooh, did I just find the $50,000 stretch goal? If so, it's super exciting!



I've seen some of those sessions, and they are excellent!

Keep spreading the links

Don’t think so, maybe it is the goal from a previous Kickstarter.

The email project update said it is two tickets to this year’s PDC with Alan.

Yup, this is what we're working toward now!!!

         $46,047!

Who else out there has seen some of the evening presentations from the new stretch goal?  I have them all, and I LOVE THEM ALL.  

I think the one that most blew my mind at the time was ram pumps.  I think the one I'm most interested in now is the finance one.  Does that mean I'm getting old???
