"Support for monologist Beck Lane - urgently need"

Yes, more and more I am adding updates from other Monologists.
This is simply because I am becoming more aware of the great solo shows happening.
Note that I reserve these updates to monologists who are clearly friends of this site.
Here is the lastest as of March 12, 2012:

Printer, painter and prolific illustrator Beck Lane has her first one person show
opening at ReBar in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn Thursday April 5th, 2012.
In preparation for the show Beck has spent produced dozens of paintings and silk screen print illustrations
but is in need of some help getting the last leg of the show done and delivered.
For as little as a $5, $10 or $25 pledge you can not only be a part of making Lane's show a blow out success
but you can also receive a variety of rewards for your investment.
Learn all about the project, Kickvesting and the rewards involved from Kickvesting in this project
on her crowd sourcing site Kickstarter page: http://kck.st/xcgP15.
ATTENTION: Lane's Kickstarter project ends Sunday March 18th! Click on, register, like, share and support!
