Reality Amuck™

Originally there wasn't going to be a blog post for Monday. I was going to let the post about the UberDork Café sit on the front page for a few more days to help encourage folks to keep making pledges so Natali could make it to the goal. That's the deal with Kickstarter. You decide on the amount your goal will be, you set an amount of time and then if you make the goal in that amount of time you get the money, if you don't make the goal then no one pays and you don't get anything. But of course UberDorkGirlie wasn't content with letting me take a day off blogging and she went and made goal on Saturday night!

So that's that and we're done. Time to stop talking about it and move on, right? Wrong. There's still over three weeks to go (as of this writing) and here's the other deal with Kickstarter, if you get pledges over and above your set goal, you get the extra. Nice folks can keep pledging financial support right up until the end.

She made goal, so why should we keep spreading the word about UberDork Café and raising money? Well, number one, it's not built yet. Have you ever bought a house, or a car or moved to a new town? Have you ever taken a vacation to another part of the country? Regardless of what price you see advertised for these things, without fail there will be additional costs. I suspect it will be the same with the UDC. I know Natali is really thorough and she's been working her butt off making plans to ensure UberDork Café the bestest place ever, but chances are there will be unexpected expenses. What better way to make sure something like that doesn't delay the Grand Opening than to build a little cushion?  That's why I'm still asking everyone to keep spreading the word. If you donated already, you have my heartfelt thanks. If you haven't, then check out her Kickstarter page and consider doing so.

Thanks again for helping to make a dream come true.
