For some reason this kind of drop seems to happen every time we're about to make a stretch goal. I remember around 3.2M it was the same. We had already made it past the stretch goal by 2 or 3 thousand $ and then it dropped by almost 10 thousand.
What's with the dinner? Some idiot withdrew their pledge?
It's extremely irritating to see it drop like that, but I'd rather people gave honest pledges rather than pledge what they don't have. Or it could be that a spouse has seen their donation and gone ape shit.

How did we lose 40k, when the dinner is 10k? 30k is alot of backers "backing" out...I don't understand how this could be, unless something negatively hit the campaign, but I thought everything was turning more good than bad now we'll all working at finding ways to help boost the cause.
Could be a number of things. Best case scenario is that they've told a few people that they'll be offering a PayPal option post-Kickstarter, so they've backed out and will re-donate afterwards. Less money goes to Kickstarter that way, meaning YSNet take a bigger chunk.
I might be wrong though, I can't remember if they take a percentage or a flat rate based on monetary milestones.
