Well, I've been dragging my heels on starting a Crystal Bacon website/store so I needed a swift kick in the ass to get it going again after our success at Baconfest Chicago. So, I submitted it to Kickstarter and got accepted.
For those who don't know what Kickstarter is, it's a crowdfunding website that helps creative projects get off the ground. It's actually become quite huge. Here's the basics: I've set a goal to raise some money to make some more Crystal Bacon. You can "back" or pledge some money to help me achieve this goal. In return for your pledge you get a reward. In my case, it's some Crystal Bacon! It's an all or nothing proposition. The money you pledge sits in a type of escrow account for the duration of the time I'm on Kickstarter. In my case that's 30 days. If my goal isn't met, the money pledged is returned. It the goal is met, I get the coin and start making and shipping out Crystal Bacon. You can go above and beyond your set goal. And many Kickstarter projects have. Here's their Wiki page.

I have no idea where this is going to end up a month from now. Hopefully it will be a wild ride. Feel free to ask me any questions here in this thread or by pm. Buckyville is awesome.
