Kickstarter Project for Veronica Mars Movie! - Goal met!

[allegrita]

The Logan Lovers AND San Diego Comic Con packages were both gone within 10 minutes. I was dithering over whether I should get the SDCC package, and then it just disappeared on me. So I guess my decision was made for me, by being indecisive.

Well, that man is soooo inspiring!!

Congratulations!

You are now an official backer of The Veronica Mars Movie Project. Time to tell the world about it!

Yeah....sadly, I am their only backer in Greece...

Oh, well...that feels kinda special...

[allegrita]

You are VERY special. Even outside of Greece.

maggatha - I think that's awesome! You should tweet @RobThomas and let him know.

You know? ...

I just might!!!

[allegrita]

Oh my gosh, folks. They might just make their goal of most contributors ever! They've just hit 85,930 members with about 8 hours to go!

[Lilly]

I've had my eye on it off and on all morning. For most of yesterday and overnight, they had been averaging a need for 200-220 new backers per hour. Right now, they only need to average about 150 per hour to do it. (They've actually been getting more new backers per hour as time go on!)

I really thought this goal was out of reach, but I truly think they're going to do it. And top $5.5 million while they're at it.

[Lilly]

The Kickstarter record for most backers has not only been broken -- it's been shattered!




And there are still over 7 hours to go! This is amazing. 87,210 and counting...

And Kickstarter has made it official:

Congrats to @RobThomas @IMKristenBell and the 87,293+ backers of @veronicamars on breaking @DoubleFine's record for most backers!

That is amazing!!!

And maggatha, you are special no matter what country you reside in, bc here? We all live in Moonlightville.

And by the way, that's 87,446 backers, and $5,518,726. And counting.

[librarian_7]

And over 88k backers, 5.5 million!

97 minutes left and they have 90,443 backers. Wow!

Kristin tweeted that she liked the idea of pulling the plug when they hit 90909 backers because it's symbolic.

[allegrita]

I don't think it's possible to do that, unfortunately. They've passed 90909 and are up to 91119 and $5,679,992, with 30 minutes to go.
