Dear supporter,

We miss you. It’s almost a month since we saw you last but it feels longer. Even then you weren’t really present, were you? Sure, you were part of an exclusive minority who got a golden ticket but with so few to share the experience with, what good was it, right? Well, that is how we feel without you right now.
