Hey friends, fans, and new friends of Moth to Flame!   We are so excited to have reached 8K for our Funemployment kickstarter, which is a huge accomplishment.

Originally, we had wanted a local Austin startup to kick off our Funemployment Funemployer Campaign, but being that it is Lizette's birthday today, we decided what a perfect way to celebrate her special day.     We met Lizette first in Los Angeles, California a few years ago, when...
