Update #11: MAILING THINGS AND SCALING THINGS! AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO INCHVESTORS
Posted on December 14, 2009
LOVELAND Inchvestors,
To the chase:
If you’ve inchvested in 12 or more inches of Detroit I will mail you a one square inch golden deed to your land along with a magnifying glass and googly-eyed Inchy (these kits are locked and loaded, see a picture below). Send me your mailing address ASAP to jerryp[at]gmail[dot]com (or call me with it or any questions at 908-343-1981) if you’d like to receive this before Inchmas (December 25th).
Speaking of Inchmas, if you’d like to give the gift of LOVELAND Detroit micro real estate this holiday season you can inchvest in 12 inches or more at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jerry/loveland-round-7-peak-inches and send me the person’s name and address. They’ll go on the inchvestor map http://makeloveland.com/inchvestors with a note that you gifted them land and they’ll receive a beautiful little LOVELAND Inchmas package that will make them smile a mile.
Now some really big news that’s transformative for your inchvestments and the project as a whole. When the project hits its 10,000th inch, everything is going to scale up to square feet. Your original inchvestment will remain unaffected and the Plymouth colony of 10,000 square inches will still move outdoors and exist in its original square inch grid form, but, as an added reward and return on your inchvestment you will also receive the same number of square feet as you have square inches. That’s a 144x return! :)
You’ll have to bear with me while I set these new properties up, but effectively, upon reaching 10,000, if you have 12 square inches now, you’ll also have an additional 12 square feet. If you have 144 square inches you’ll also have an additional 144 square feet, etc etc. Suffice it to say this is a radical leap in terms of possibilities for developing your land. Mailboxes, gardens, solar power, benches, sheds, rocket ships(?), etc etc etc all become feasible.
Thank you so much for believing in and being part of LOVELAND. From humble beginnings, we’re working incredibly hard make this the greatest inchvestment of your lives and develop a solid framework for micro real estate ownership and creativity. Call with any questions and Merry Inchmas season everybody!
Constantly evolving and intelligently designing,
Jerry Paffendorf & Friends
