WE MADE IT :D

"We're withholding celebrations here at KMCon central until we have the money in our account and until various legal hoops have been jumped through. We also still need to receive formal confirmation from the venue. This is a slightly shaky time where we have everyone's money but cannot (yet) officially meet our obligations, so we're slightly nervous at the moment. In particular, if it now turns out that we cannot put the convention on, people will only receive 90% of what they paid (due to IndieGoGo fees). This is unlikely to be the case, but it's nerve wracking nonetheless."
Do we know when we will be likely to get get the final 'green light!' here as many will need to start booking transport and their Knight's accomodation asap.
Well done everyone, there is no turning back...mostly...
So far, we've received the money into our paypal account and we've received an oral green light from the studio.
This coming week, I hope to get the company bank account opened and hopefully the paypal funds transferred, to meet with our big donator (just to check that they really REALLY know what they're doing) and visit EPIC with a couple of steering committee members.
I think at that stage we'll be able to say with a sufficient level of certainty that we're all go.
Sorry things are so delayed. It's the consequences of there being such a big rush at the end.

Given the amount of money needed with barely 24 hours to go, I was genuinely surprised the target was met. I fully expected it to fall short. Not just short, but short by quite some margin which Knightmare really didn't deserve. Not after everything we've all gone though and certainly not after it's exposure on Geek Week last year. I was absolutely gutted with only around 24 hours to go... I really thought 'that was that' and that distant spec of light at the end of the long tunnel signaling a possible return was going to go out for good...
So when I logged on the following day after the deadline to find it had been met, I can't quite put into words what I was feeling! I was absolutely thrilled to bits and I'm made up for everyone who has been involved.
Whoever the big donators were really do deserve a huge pats on the back and a handshake from every one of us...
Unfortunately I've got an awful lot of commitments (family and financial) coming up over the next couple of weeks so I do highly doubt I'm going to be able to make the event. However I sincerely hope it's a great time for everyone who will be there. If I'm not there in body, I'll certainly be there in mind, that's for sure...
Please take lots of pictures...!

Loooooooooooong time no visit..!
So I'm one of the annoying types who left it late before booking (but I did successfully refer a friend!) but I had good reasons. I think..
So whilst I'm aware there aren't any finalised plans yet, is there an idea as to what time things would start on the Saturday? Ta muchly!
