    P.G.

    There was me thinking that Kickstarter type projects were about to decline.

    Now we’ve got this kid, and Veronica Mars film project blowing the doors off.

    I won’t be applying for the role of Nostradamus anytime soon.

    I backed her. She’s in my hometown, and she’s adorable.

    @ Lynn – that’s amazing that she’s in your home town. Such a small world!

    This is too cute. Good for her! When I was 10, I would never have thought to do something like this. :)

    Impressive. The world needs kids like her. She will go far.

    I’m usually afraid of clowns but I ‘m gonna make an exception in this case. What a great kid.
