Update #10: LOVELAND Inchvestor Update: Merry Inchmas, Don't Love Alone!

Posted on December 3, 2009

Greetings Inchmart Shoppers!

We're entering the Inchmas season and there's no better time to give the gift of micro real estate in Detroit. You can buy inches for friends, family, and loved ones (frenemies and haters, too) and just let me know who they're for. Their names will go on the inchvestor map ( http://bit.ly/6L6uE3 ) and they'll receive LOVELAND Inchmas greetings. There are only hours left on the current Kickstarter round and in ecological terms we've already reached "peak inches" with less than 1/2 of the first Plymouth colony remaining: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jerry/loveland-round-6-a-force-more-powerful . Get to the chopper!!

This month I'll be at a few physical locations in Detroit and New York selling micro real estate gifts so come say hey. Tomorrow, Friday the 4th I'll be in NY for the first stop on the Degenerate Craft Fair tour: http://degeneratecraftfair.com . Then Saturday the 12th I'll be at the Fisher Building in Detroit as part of Detroit Synergy's Shop Detroit event: http://www.detroitsynergy.org/projects/shopdetroit . I also made an art chair deed for a Chair-ity fundraiser for homeless veterans in Michigan that will be auctioned off at Tangent art gallery in Detroit this Saturday: http://bit.ly/7RXTqb

There are some serious surprises in store for LOVELAND and inchvestors. We've been working hard, listening hard, and learning hard (hey, it's hard times) and are not forever constrained to the inch scale in our exploration of micro payments for micro ownership and creative land use. I probably shouldn't say too much more, but wouldn't it be cool if you woke up one morning and your inchvestment had incr... oh never mind. But this is a good time to get into Plymouth before it's full. ;)

As always, there's new stuffs on the blog: http://7billionfriends.com .

Don't love alone,

Jerry Paffendorf & Friends
