Update #4: Welcome! The Last Day of Round 2, Plymouth, Maps
Posted on September 18, 2009
Happy Friday inchvestors, welcome to LOVELAND!
The current Kickstarter round closes tomorrow (Saturday). There are 300 inches left so I'm picking up the phone today. If you know anyone else incherested, to take a page from Obama, now is the time for action! :) At the end of this round we'll be at 4,000, or approaching 1/2 of the first colony.
There are new posts on the 7 Billion Friends blog. Notably:
• Plymouth now physically exists in my studio and I'll be working to organize your space and update the site with that soon. Here are pics and stuff (also pasting pics into this update): http://7billionfriends.tumblr.com/post/190065352/a-fun-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-plymouth-10-000
• I wrote about the story of the naming of LOVELAND, which actually came off the side of a book on property law owned by a woman named Susan Loveland who I'd never met. Well, after I wrote that I was connected to THE Susan Loveland through Facebook. Go go gadget internets: http://7billionfriends.tumblr.com/post/190478762/loving-quoth-and-dance-city-the-etymology-of-loveland
I'm looking for an illustrator who wants to draw out a nice map of Plymouth that we can use. I'm picturing something like this: http://xkcd.com/256 . If you are or know that person let me know!
Rock on,
Jerry
