We've got 6 days to move 550 more inches in the current round: http://bit.ly/1LqxVi then I'm going to use that money to buy a camera and figure out a streaming video solution for our first property, and move from there. If you want to support that and get more space or if you have friend's who'll be into this project, by all means spread the love!
After this round I'm going to open up a store on http://makeloveland.com where people can purchase inches and other LOVELAND stuffs at any time (claimed inches, physical inches of dirt from the property, paper deeds and magnifying glasses, and shirts to start with -- the shirts and deeds will be on their way soon, things got a little spun in the forest of possible printing solutions). Also after this round we'll be more than 1/2 way through the Plymouth colony, with a real property to move into, and it's time to open up to the world more and make some changes that reflect that.
Thank you all so much for being a part of the Kickstarting process. Over the last few months...well, I'll spare you the speech. It's been awesome. And you know me, I'm crazy enough to keep doing this until it's a phenomenon far beyond my control where you'll all be saying, "ZOMG I was in LOVELAND back when it was on Kickstarter! I was IN PLYMOUTH!!!" And then we will all clink our glasses to history and drink them down to the road ahead.
Oh, I also just started a Google Group that's going to replace the mailing list as a place for announcements and where we can all squwawk together if you want to join: http://groups.google.com/group/loveland-inchvestors .
Doing my best to create ever more value for your inchvestments,

PS Attached here is little thank you postcard with Inchy and Inchured Inchy. If you haven't seen Inchy's scuffle with the robot zombie from Zug Island, they're the two top videos currently on http://makeloveland.com . They also show Plymouth (the taped grid) and Recovery (the first property I just bought for us).
This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 19, 2009.

Get an attractive and significant piece of LOVELAND history and art. For $288 you'll get 288 inches and one of the two 2' x 2' grids (576 square inches, twice 288) used to visually track inchvestors at the 2009 People's Art Festival at the Russell Industrial Center in Detroit. Read more about them and see pictures of them at http://bit.ly/fEeec. The photos used in this video all come from that event and some show the grids at various stages of completion (blue tape on white/brown board with colorful circular stickers).
