I am hopeful (and optimistic) that his pledge drive will be successful. I just posted a piece about it over on the BS BLOG and plan to contribute after my next payday. I was going to add a note here but (glad you) you beat me to it :-)

Edited to add: I just learned you can pledge now, but your card will not be charged until June 23rd, and then only if the project is successfully (fully) funded.

Re: Eric Czar Project

Is this fundraising a common practice?Does he have some wealthy friends in the music biz that might finance or donate enough for the 3500? Just askin,never heard of this kind of thing before.

I don't know that it would fit the traditional definition of being "common" however it's not "uncommon" either. This is from Kickstarter's website:


Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.


At this very second, thousands of people are checking out projects on Kickstarter. They're rallying around their friends' ideas, backing projects from people they've long admired, and discovering things that make them laugh and smile.


Every project is independently crafted, put to all-or-nothing funding, and supported by friends, fans, and the public in return for rewards.


The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control and responsibility over their own projects. They spend weeks building their own project pages, shooting their own videos, and brainstorming what to offer as rewards.


Rewards are things like a copy of what’s being made, a limited edition, or a custom experience related to the project. This isn’t Best Buy – rewards aren’t shrink-wrapped and ready to ship. Once the project is funded, the journey to bring them to life begins.


Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline. If the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal all backers’ credit cards are charged when time expires. If the project falls short no one is charged.


Since our launch in April 2009, more than 20,000 creative projects have been successfully funded by awesome people from around the world.


People come to Kickstarter to build community around their projects. It’s inspiring to be supported by people you know, and amazing to connect with strangers who are discovering your ideas for the first time.


The feedback, press, and love that can come with a Kickstarter project are just as valuable as the money raised. Ask anyone who’s done it before. There’s nothing like it. 


Since launching in April 2009:

$200 million pledged to projects
1.8 million people have backed a project
20,000 projects successfully funded
