 		Whoa
O_o

I've never done an ARG before (I tried to jump in way back with Perplex City, but I didn't actually find the community until 2 months before the Cube was found... >.<

This sounds... odd, but I guess I'd have to say I'm looking forward to it.

Wow! Way to take the unicorn by the horn konamouse. I'm a beta tester (or at least will be once the kickstarter page stops erroring out on me)

Also, just for grins the other day I submitted a sock related super great idea to Tim via email. Haven't heard back yet but then there haven't been any updates either. I'm rather fond of my super great idea so hopefully I'll hear something.

 		Just a thing about how kickstarter works:

Your credit card should not be charged until the project gets to its goal (if the project gets to the goal). If the project doesn't get to the goal by the deadline, nobody's credit card gets charged.

So, let's get this bitch to 6k, yo. Wink

 		Ok, finally figured out why I was getting kickstarter errors. There was apparently a verification email that was being blocked.

So I got a response from Tim today!

Quote:
Dude,

I don't say this very often... but Super Great Idea, bra! I think I can
help. In fact, I bet I can take your idea and kick it up to the next
level. What do you think of this? Rather than just use velcro for the
bottom of the sock. What if we made the entire sock out of velcro. You
could store stuff on your socks... like snacks. It would be like cargo
pockets. Sock-velcargo pockets.

Name needs a little work, but it is a start.
Ding-Dong!
~Tim

I responded with a few alternative names for his all-velcro sock idea. Sock'nGo, Sock'nLock, Pocket Socks , Pocket Socketeers. Sock Stockers.

No I think that's swag for signing up before the 19th. I signed up but didn't provide a physical address....kind of regretting that now. Sad
