 There are just two weeks until the ‘Bruce Finds A Home’ Kickstarter begins – and you’re invited to the launch! Launch You are warmly invited to attend the launch at 5pm Wednesday 24 May at Startup Space, Dunedin (thanks Startup Space!). The launch is being sponsored by Invercargill Brewery, who are providing us with Pitch Black beer (in homage to a certain pitch black cat). You can check out the launch details here.  Postage and packaging Postage and packaging seems to be the Achilles Heel of many a Kickstarter. Postage costs count towards your Kickstarter goal (eg if someone buys a book for $20 and postage is $4, that $4 counts towards my Kickstarter fundraising total), so it all has to be factored into the budgeting. It gets a bit complicated once you factor in international shipping (a lot of Bruce’s fans are in America, Germany and The UK), but I think I have found my postage box supplier (Quick Brown Box), and the team at Mary Egan Publishing recommended checking out GoSweetSpot for shipping. Sponsors I am thrilled to reveal the ‘Bruce Finds A Home’ sponsors: Premium Sponsor: Otago Polytechnic Gold Sponsors: Pet Doors R Us, Black Cat Candles Silver Sponsors: Blackcat Education, Quick Brown Fox, Black Cat Interiors, Humanimals Bronze Sponsor: Royal Canin And of course many thanks to Invercargill Brewery who are supporting the Kickstarter launch.  Digital Content Coordinators still smashing it My Digital Content Coordinators are riding a wave of creativity this week. One’s written a couple of awesome blog posts for Bruce to share, and the other one is working on some Pusheen-inspired animations. I can’t wait to see them! Giving Bruce’s fans the good stuff And of course I’ve been trying even harder than usual to provide Bruce’s fans with content they love so they’ll keep coming back to his page and come along on the Kickstarter journey with us. Here’s the latest video – a round-up of Bruce’s cutest photos ever. I’ll update you next week in my (gulp) ONE Week Kickstarter Countdown post!
