Mission: 500! (Plus: Father's Day Gift)
almost 8 years ago – Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 02:03:13 AM

Hello backers,

A couple things:

1) We're nearing the finish line on this campaign, but there are still a few more days left to help get the word out. Can you help us hit 500 backers by sharing the project with friends and family? We'd appreciate it.

2) Short on Father's Day gift ideas? Consider getting Dad an Alpha Bamboo. True, the pen won't until after Father's Day, but we put together this nifty little Father's Day card to print out and let him know what's coming. It's a good opportunity to use the ole "Patience is a virtue" line on him.

As always, thanks for your support. Looking forward to getting these pens into your hands...

I'm No Expert: The Alpha Bamboo Fountain Pen Story
about 8 years ago – Mon, Jun 04, 2018 at 08:16:10 PM

Hello backers! Some of you might already be listeners to my podcast, I'm No Expert. A few weeks back we recorded an episode devoted entirely to the Alpha Bamboo and turned the cameras on as well. Vodcast? Vlogpost? PodTube? 

A little more info and backstory as we head into the far turn of this campaign.

Hope you enjoy the update and thanks for your support!!

PS – if you prefer just the audio version, you can listen to it here.

Thanks Backers! 

You are the best, and welcome to the team! I'm really excited to have you all on board and to get this project kicked off. We are a very small company, and like my regular customers, I consider all our supporters part of the team because you are what makes us a success. 

This update is mostly a thank you, but I also have a small request. Please share the campaign on your social networks (please). That's how this whole internet thing works you know! Your effort makes a massive difference and it only takes a few seconds. Can you help us hit 1000 backers like last time?! I'd really appreciate it. 

And just for fun, here is a video of my buddy Wilson doing a quick sketch with a prototype pen!     

Cheers,

Jason
