Hello All,
My band, The HEAP just launched a kickstarter.com project to help us raise funds to buy a used van for touring. I was wondering if any of you have used kickstarter? What were your experiences like? Please visit our project:

Hmmmm

So I take it that no one in here has used Kickstarter? We might not make our goal but it has been very interesting to see that folks do want to help!

Thanks

I am really amazed that the kickstarter project worked out. It lets us know that there is an actual interest in what we do. Several bands here in Athens have used it to put out CDs. I believe that we are the first in town to be successful using it to get funds for a van.
