			=== Needs of Kickstarter ===
			The following things are necessary for Kickstarter to consider our project.
			#'''What is your project?''' - Kickstarter projects are creative, focused, and well-defined with a clear beginning and end. Please be clear and concise.
			#'''What rewards would you offer?''' - Rewards are what backers receive in exchange for pledging to a project. Every project's primary rewards should be things made by the project itself. Other than that, what you offer and how you price it is up to you, but a series of creative and engaging backer rewards is essential. Having a few reasonably priced rewards will help incorporate everybody who's interested in your project, even those only able to contribute $1-$20.
			#'''Where can we find out more about you and your project?''' - We don't need a resume or anything, just some relevant links like a website where we might find out more information on you, your work, and/or this project.
			#'''Which category fits your project?'''
			#'''How much money would you like to raise?'''
			#'''How did you hear about us?'''

			=== The Reason ===
	Even though we are raising funds to try and obtain a space, there are other things that would be exceptionally nice to have funds for shortly before or shortly after we move into a location. There will be assured renovations that we will want to make, as well as tools and some equipment that would be very nice to have. So what better of a way than to do a fund raiser. We are not particularly tied down to Kickstarter, but until we find something better we can make our plans and translate them to whomever we choose in the end.
