What Went Wrong With Our Kickstarter

CHOO-choo-ooo-oo-o…oo.oo. Well, bug buddies, it looks like our hype train has pulled aside for a pitstop. We’ve decided to conclude The Burgundy Zine Merch Store Kickstarter campaign early.

Those who have graciously pledged their support to The Burgundy Zine Merch Store Campaign will not be charged for their contribution. We will not receive any of the pledges from our Kickstarter campaign, either.
