NEIGHBORHOOD 7, acquired by @LaurentNft64534

As is so often the case, the best part about releases like WINDOWS // NYC is connecting with the people that participate with passion and excitement- and the relationships between artists and collectors that are formed by that shared curiosity about the possible.

I did 60+ collector calls leading up to this release. I didn't realize how fun they would be. Everyone had ideas, everyone was so curious and interested in different things, their eyes would light up at different moments in my explanation, and I could tell that they were into that specific part.

Laurent's eyes were lit up the whole time. Illuminated. And I am so glad he will be mayor of this little section of our city- one that we will customize together. It's a beautiful day in the NEIGHBORHOOD!

WINDOWS | BUILDINGS // NYC

Massive congrats to @dave_krugman on the drop today!

Love the layered concept, work and networked dynamics within this series. Stoked on my mints and can't wait to see the rest of the city come together 🌆

WINDOWS // NYC

Today is the day! Let's build a city together, onchain.

IMPORTANT INFO / SOURCE OF TRUTH:

[allocation checker in thread]

WINDOWS and BUILDINGS both have their presale opening at 12 NOON EST today. My suggestion is to mint your allocation as early as you can.

WINDOWS are allocated to my collectors only for 2 hours (12-2PM EST), then any left over will roll to our friends and family list. If any remain by 4PM, they go to public.

That is a 1/1/1000 collection. Price is .03 ETH.
------------
BUILDINGS are allocated to my collectors, our wider allowlist, partner communities, friends and artists on our list for the SAME 2 hour period, 12-2PM EST. At 2 PM EST, any remaining supply will go public.

That is a 1/1/4000 collection. Price is .015 for our discounted presale, and .018 for public.
------------

There are 20 NEIGHBORHOODS at 1 ETH, 15 allocated for private placement and 5 held back for the future. More news on those placements later today! Very very grateful for that support out of the gate and to have those works in good hands.

Additionally- all of this culminates in a 1/1 CITY, where everything, and everyone- are connected. A postal system allows us to communicate and watch energy flow through our dynamic and expanding city. More on this as well after our shared construction of this city during tomorrows mint.

The team at @TransientLabs and I have been working day and night to get this all built, sorted, and released in a way that is accessible, fairly allocated, and thoughtful. They are awesome. You all are awesome. I think this will be fun and I'm excited to experience this all alongside you. Any questions please ask below and I'll get back to everyone as I can!

Thanks for all the encouragement and excitement around my photography. Means the world to me.

Hey Beasts,
We heard you like anime. 👀

Here are a few trait samples of something special coming to you. 🎁

ONLY 4 APE SUITS LEFT out of 187 in the 10,000 AKCB collection

Congrats to @professorznft for grabbing the blue - donut ape suit

[Rafsby | a KID called BEAST @Rafsby]

Brainstorming ways to rework the free beast raffle system. We can't just keep giving away beasts and seeing some of them get listed or even floored, it's counter productive for everyone.👀

[Deadline @TheDeadlinee]

@AKCBSalesBot @Voodo06 That’s a dope beast!

[Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 @ZssBecker]

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this.

It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me.

Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison.

The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned.

Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns.

In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained.

Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack.

Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed.

It was discovered when I went through immigration.

At first I assumed I'd just be sent home.

Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it.

To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement.

This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying.

The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life.

I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week.

Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better.

Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream.

The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit.

The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years.

It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had.

I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind.

Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets.

I should be euphoric 24/7.

To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one.

Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident.

I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha.

My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away.

I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception.

I'm writing this to help you stop.

It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark.

But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today.

If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise.

Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up.

Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.
