Okay, so John Hardie, Sean Kelly, and Joe Santulli are the guys who established the Classic Gaming Expo, and they're planning on making a museum dedicated to the history of video games as a medium. They're seeking $30,000 in startup cash to help finance additional fundraising ventures (as well as to help the show travel to various trade shows). As for why they're asking for that amount, Sean Kelly had this to say:
"The museum we envision promises to be all-inclusive, comprehensive and interactive. Unlike some of the other efforts in recent years which have a limited focus, our intention is to cover it all: every game made for every system, every piece of promotional material made for each game, every revision of every console with specific notes as to the differences, the design progression, and so on."
