Wanted: Kickstarter Invite

Over the last few weeks I have been passively seeking invites to Kickstarter, an amazing crowdfunding website for creatives. I learned about it when I saw a message from Arin Crumley on facebook asking for backers for his OpenIndie project. I was struck by the site's straightforward layout and easy to navigate menus, and how simple it was for me to donate to his project. I especially liked that project creators could choose to implement incentives to motivate people to donate at different dollar amounts, which can both generate more donations and increase people's level of investment in your work (read: free publicity later on). I backed him, and found myself poking around for other projects to back, too.  Turns out giving is addicting, especially online.  Now that I've decided to plow ahead with my personal film project, I've kicked my search into high gear. I think my project--a triptych of twisted urban legends told via film, interactive graphic novel and original art hosted on a website that will allow users to upload their own orignal stories and videos--is well suited for the site and will have lots of opportunities for people to become more involved than just financially if they choose to. Right now, the only way to join Kickstarter is through invites, so I'm hoping I'll be able to track one down from a project creator or from the site's founders. If anyone out there has an extra invite or knows of someone who does, please keep me in mind!
