For Philadelphia sports fans, there aren’t many times when you’ll hear the above statement, but for right now, Philly is on cloud nine:) What a month it has been for this city! Philadelphia has cheered the Phils along to a World Series championship, the Eagles have won three straight, and our country has elected the FIRST african american president. October/November have been busy!

Wanted to share a few quick videos with you that have been passed along via email this week. First, a group of extremely talented students who express the importance of voting (if i ever have kids I’m sending them here!), and the second is a phenomenal catch by Ryan Howard during the Phillies parade (check out the video footage of that parade on our blog!

Possibly the coolest part of this month though has been the launch of www.LTLprints.com. It’s both exciting and a relief! It’s great to see the launch and all of the team’s long hours paying off - but it just means that things will get busier! I can’t wait to see our 6-color large format printing churning orders like crazy. Exciting!

Quite a picture above, eh? That awesome picture can be credited to the talented Mr. Matthew Gutberlet, a very close friend of mine and someone who is ridiculously good at everything he does - even photography! Matt grabbed that shot at the Phillies parade last Friday.

Before I sign off, just a reminder that the CMA Awards (COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS) are this Tuesday night. Everyone should definitely sit down to watch my boyfriend, the talented Kenny Chesney, in all his glory. I’d trade the World Series for him:)

I’ve written a few first posts and find that joining a conversation is often easier than starting one. So let’s unwrap the new toy and get right down to business.

My name is Kendall Schoenrock and I’m a co-founder of LTLprints.com - Larger Than Life prints. Carsten Petzold fills out the founding team and I’ll point you to our bio page to see his awesome credentials.

What do we do?

We make huge customizable prints, delivered to your door. Oversized cutouts of any image, picture, or person you choose. Printed on a self-adhesive cloth material that sticks to any flat surface without leaving a mark or residue. It’s the best way to decorate your world. Guaranteed.

Where are we?

We’re in Philly right next to LOVE park, but our prints can go anywhere and we like that. Speaking of love, we really enjoy what we’re doing. We’re excited to bring you an awesome product and we need your help. Our goal is to be accessible - for example, if you call our phone number (1-800-672-6741) you can say my name and talk to me. Please do so. We are building this company around you and we can’t do it without you. Also, if you’re in the area let us know and I’ll buy you a beer - no joke, I’m not kidding on that one. Tuesday night is TechKaraoke - good times.

When will the site launch?

We are shooting for late October or early November 2008. We’ll keep you posted. It’s going to be big. Larger than life, actually. Technically we have already launched a scaled down version at LTLprints.net. Check it out!

Why are we here?

We’re here because you deserve to have the freedom to decorate your world how you want it. Your prints should display only what you want them to, and should express your style or memories. Your business should be able to take their images with them to any expo or conference, sticking to any whiteboard or wall in sight. Moving and redecorating shouldn’t suck, especially when it comes to your decor. Our goal is to save you time and money and give you a totally unique product that you can brag to all of your friends about. Did I mention that we’re perfect for viral marketing? Hint Hint

How?

For now, check out our *temporary* site at LTLprints.net - upload a picture, answer a few quick customizable questions and submit. Give us a few days and we’ll ship your custom print right to your door. Peel it off and apply it to your wall. You’ll be like a little kid again unwrapping that perfect birthday gift. And if you’re not happy with your first placement - move it. It won’t tear, leave a mark, or give you any trouble. I promise.

So that’s about it for my first intro post. How’d I do? Leave me a comment and lets get the conversation started off on the right foot.

Cheers,
Kendall Schoenrock
