As of this writing, the Ketofest kickstarter is just $2.5k from the halfway funded point ($20k). While it’s common for kickstarters to have their biggest surge in the beginning and at the end, it helps momentum to be on or ahead of the halfway funded point at the halftime, which happens on Tuesday (Apr 11).
So if you were considering coming, registering now will help considerably from an inertia standpoint. And remember- you are only charged if the event is funded, of course.
