Our first exchange!

topic posted Wed, August 20, 2003 - 11:44 AM by  Silus
Okay folks.


I'm tired of waiting.


Everyone who is interested in participating in the first official GOING POSTAL exchange needs to message me with their mailing address before FRIDAY (AUGUST 22nd).


On SATURDAY (AUGUST 23rd), I will message everyone a URL to a PDF with the addresses listed, and instructions on how to proceed.


Unless I have suggestions to the contrary, here's what I'm thinking: each person will be assigned to send a postcard to the next person on the list in alphabetical ascendancy, and _encouraged_ to send a card to as many others as possible.


As people receive their cards, I'd like to encourage y'all to scan them and send me the scans and I'll put together a PDF booklet for the group.


Then I hope everyone will post about their experience!


PS... I need to make a shout-out to whomever sent me the lovely card with the photo of Vancouver (you didn't include your name)... it was a pleasure to receive!

    An idea: for the booklet, I'd love to have scans of as many postcards as possible in a before-and-after set up.


    If you're game, scan the postcards before you send them!


    I'm looking for as high-resolution a scan as reasonable so that I have as much leeway as possible in crafting the booklet.

    Sorry about that everyone... had a bit of a family thang that took me out of state last week.

    Anyway, the assignments have been sent. If you sent me your address, but haven't received an assignment (check your message area manually, as some messages don't trip the "new message" flag for some reason), let me know!
