I'm targeting getting our Alex Potts Kickstarter to 100 backers by the time it finishes in 3 days! We're currently on 77, can you help us make it? There are some great extras and add-ons, but most importantly, it's a work of absolute brilliance.

Photo from behind a bench along a walkway that is next to the Thames River in London, Ontario. It is night. One bright light is next to the bench. The viewer looks out from behind the bench and across the river at the brightly-lit windows of high rises. There are fluffy clouds visible against the black night sky
