TOD:
I've backed a few campaigns to raise money for albums and DVDs in addition to several on Kritzerland. The results have been mixed. Fred addressed the issues with Herringbone, but there have been others delayed for whatever reason. Most have been good experiences, however, which will lead me to do more, if I know about them and are interested in the topic.
A chef friend of mine in town funded his restaurant with Kickstarter, but I didn't know about that at the time.
