The result is that the films effort register as Kickstarter’s third-most successful raise of all-time. Not bad considering their goal was $2 million, which was achieved about 12 hours after the campaign started.

Why stop now, Rob Thomas and company? See if the masses will just pay for the whole damn thing, and if they won’t, maybe take everything over the $2 million goal and spend it on fancy hats for the crew or something.

Nothing unethical about that!

My calculator tells me that’s a staggering $63 per benefactor. That’s a lot of nerd-money! “Nerd money” is just like regular money, but just spent on really nerdy things like Veronica Mars movies. Rob Thomas, the series producer, offered a sincere thank you and told the world he was taking the raise international, which I didn’t know was something that had to be done, as I just figured that anyone with an internet connection could give money to Kickstarter.

Maybe Rob Thomas can divert some of these funds to a Party Down film, which would probably cost about $50k and mean more to me personally, which is what the world exists to do: fulfill me.
