Riddle Me This:
Q: When is a a contest not a contest?
A: It's not a contest when Kickstarter says you can't run contests.
OK, enough word salad. Explanation time.
My friend, Dennis A. Smith has written his next album, The 9/11 Project. He just started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $60,000 dollars to get it produced and marketed. This will be Dennis' fourth album, so he knows what he's doing.

What I've Read:
Love Wins: A Book about Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived
by Rob Bell
