Fail Friends!
Welcome back to another #FailFriday!
As we continue marching toward our next stretch goal (and we're sooo close!), we wanted to take this time to say thank you to everyone who as backed our sweaty little campaign and supported us in any way. This book has taken off more than we could have possibly imagined and we’re SO grateful to all of you!
And if you haven’t already, please be sure to share the campaign on social media with all your pals! Every new backer brings us a little bit closer to being able to give you more cool stuff…so help us, help you!
FAIL FRIDAY STORY TIME!
And now for something really exciting! In the spirit of #FailFriday, we thought today might be a good day to ask everyone to share their own personal fails! We know everyone’s got a story – maybe it’s something that happened at work, on a date, maybe you messed up a Kickstarter update and now everyone’s mad at you…oh wait, that’s just us? Oh boy.
Well, anyway - here’s one from Justin to get the ball rolling!
Got a story? We want to hear it! Leave a comment or post it on social media using the hashtag #FailFriday! Remember: it’s OK to fail! Embrace it! It’s like they say -- If you’re not failin’, you’re not tryin’.
FAIL FRIDAY LIVESTREAM
Want more failure? Don’t miss today’s livestream over on the MR. LOVENSTEIN TWITCH account at noon PT/3pm ET, where Justin will be drawing and answering YOUR questions! Maybe you can help him think of a third word to describe himself…he’s still searching for it.
IMPOSSIBLE PUZZLE LIVESTREAM
Speaking of searching, don’t forget about tomorrow’s IMPOSSIBLE PUZZLE STREAM, which is also happening at noon PT/3pm ET on the MR. LOVENSTEIN TWITCH. It was weirdly soothing to watch Justin try to complete the puzzle last weekend…we recommend it! Although…it’s definitely going to get MUCH harder once Justin completes the edges.
HOW IT STARTED:
HOW IT'S GOING:
Remember, if he completes the puzzle before the conclusion of the campaign, we’ll reveal a special surprise!
So Justin, we just want to say – good luck – we’re all counting on you.
STRETCH GOAL UPDATE
We're just about 7k away from adding this YOU FAILED bookmark to every physical book level, and if you're interested in the ANIMAL LOVERS PIN SET, you can go ahead and add $20 to your pledge now and you'll be able to purchase them in BackerKit after the campaign ends – every little bit helps!
Until next time – keep failing!

FAIL FRIENDS, WE DID IT!
We have officially passed $100,000 in pledging towards Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure and that means we’ve now unlocked the Animal Lover Pin Set for purchase as an add-on! Come and get ‘em!
So how do you get these pins? Well, you could wait ‘till the campaign ends and pledge through BackerKit, but if you want to help us reach our stretch goals even faster, just add $20 to your pledge right now to cover the cost of these pins! (Minimal shipping costs to come later, but it won’t be much, we promise.)
Speaking of new Stretch Goals, we’re so excited two reveal the rest of BATCH 3!
Batch 3 Stretch Goals Revealed!
You knew about the “You Failed” Bookmark already, but now we’re talking GOLD FOIL, baby! GOOOOLD! Now you can make this FAILURE shinier than ever! And of course, Batch 3 wouldn’t be complete without DEATH NUT LEVEL 3 – apparently this is the level where things start to get really intense, and we’re ready to watch Justin suffer! (What’s wrong with us???)
We’ve got lots more surprises to come, including some new add-ons and the fabled and legendary BATCH 4 STRETCH GOALS...but we need your help to get there, so don’t forget to [share the campaign] on social media with everyone you know! We cannot thank you all enough for your support—you're taking this FAILURE to sights unforeseen!
Let’s see how high we can #FailUp together!
Until next time – enjoy your new animal friends – and keep failing!
