We're right at 95% funded, with one week to go in the campaign. Plenty of time still to hit several stretch goals!
If you're in the U.S.A., I hope you'll have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, with as few bothersome relatives as possible. If you're not in the U.S.A. I hope you're gearing up for...a Thursday. Either way, you can tell friends and family about this cool campaign you backed!
I wanted to share a little bit about what I've been up to the past few days. My spouse has always wanted to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in person, and this is the year it's happening! We got up to New York City on Sunday night, and it was our first time being there. It's certainly been an experience! We saw the city and the Statue of Liberty from the harbor on a Circle Line tour, then went to a performance of the Rockette's 100th anniversary, saw Top of the Rock, Central Park, Times Square, and even the parade balloons being inflated. Tomorrow, we'll be at a special event, overlooking the parade from the comfort of indoors with a great brunch. There are perks to being married to a travel agent! (oh hey, if you want to book a cool trip of your own with her, you can always snag a Nerdventure addon in the campaign!)
Here are some pictures of our exploits!

The Lady herself
100 years of the Rockettes
Me and Heather 67 floors up on Top of the Rock. You can see many buildings, including the Empire State Building, and in the background, the One World Trade Center, and the Statue of Liberty waaay off in the distance.
Buildings overlooking Central Park
Times Square, and the ball dropping very slowly toward the New Year
Buzz is looking a little...deflated.
Some new balloons for the parade this year!
There are only 4 other unfunded campaigns in The Book Bazaar, so make sure to show these folks some love!
I hope to write you again soon with a "we're funded" message...
