First and foremost, we’re proud to welcome actor Daniel Berilla to the cast of “Guys Reading Poems.” You may recognize Daniel for his appearance on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” or in one of his films like “Going Down in La-La Land.” (Luckily, in real life, Daniel appears to be headed up, not down).

To celebrate Daniel’s casting, we’re headed out on the town tomorrow in our new, QR-friendly t-shirts to stir up some new pledges and meet new backers. We’re extremely proud that we crossed 150 backers today. But we have an even more ambitious goal for the next 48 hours. We want to cross 200 backers in just two days. What do you think of our t-shirt idea? That’s right…Hunter Lee Hughes is 100% scannable.

Now, on to the most important duty of the day – THANKING OUR NEW BACKERS. And be patient because we have a LOT of new backers today. Special SHOUT-OUT to Ruth Brown, a family friend in her 90s who wasn’t sure how to use Kickstarter so donated through upping the pledge of Hunter’s mom. Thank you, Ruth! Your pledge is much appreciated!!!

A special thank-you to ALL our backers so far. They are:
