...this will work out. My recent stupidity will has not impacted my commitment to this particular thing. I sent out my postcard already.

Please try to mail your post card before next Sunday (not tomorrow!). I won't be bugging any of you about it until then.

Note to Miah: I don't have an email for you, so I can't give you an address yet. I'll either see you in the IRC, or you can post an email address here.

Get me your addresses! I will distribute them once I have all of them, or Sunday, which ever comes first. Start looking for post cards, and get ready to mail them!

So here's the official update on things. We now have 12 people officially participating. I will keep 'registration' open until tomorrow evening, at which point I will have the final list of people participating.

Since no-one objected, and two people supported the idea, I think we're going with sending me all of your addresses. After that, I will give one address to each person, and they will send their post card to that address. If you are participating, please email me your address no later than Sunday night. My email, once again, is guvnorofspace AT SYMBOL HERE gmail DOT PERIOD THING com.

Ideally, I'd like everyone to have their post card into the mail within a week of getting the address of the person they are sending it to. This is because procrastination is bad! Please let me know when you mail your post cards.

As to the question of how to address them: If you are not comfortable giving your real name, that is probably okay. Real names are of course ideal, but just a first name and a last initial should work. 'Current Resident' I know will work, but that means its legally addressed to anyone living at home with you, so I would discourage that.

Any comments? Questions? Objections? If so, comment!

I'm in! I'll have to scout around for something interesting, but the idea sounds pretty awesome. Which method was decided, are we emailing you our addresses?

Now we just need a secure way to send the adresses. Other than that, I'm down for it!

So long as there's a secure way for our addresses to be shared.

Including myself, and not including Desdenelle (since he has not committed yet) we have eight people who have agreed to this. So I think I'll give it a couple more days and then declare this (first round?) done.

I think I want to work address collection like this: You all email me your addresses. Why? It's simple. I can then distribute them when I have all of them.

The other option is to email the person I tell you is sending you a post card your address. However, that involves multiple people posting their email addresses and is slightly more complicated. The other downside is that I kind of want it to be a surprise who you get a postcard from, and having to give someone (other than me) your address ruins that surprise. Still, it is perfectly doable, and I might be the only one who cares about surprise. So now I ask: What do you guys think?

Email address: guvnorofspace AT SYMBOL gmail PERIOD OR DOT com

But I might not post my home address.

It sounds fun, my only problem is that I kind of live in nowheresville. I do live somewhat near to New York City though, so maybe I could get one from there.

That sounds like fun. Count me in!

I like this idea

I collect post cards, so this is very cool. I'm in!

Definitely count me in.

I kind of live in the middle of nowhere, but I could take the bus to the largest big city.

Also, if you get a P.O. box, you don't have to trust strangers with your address, just saying.

Suppose I participate, and I get to send a postcard to you. Does it mean that I go to the closest souvenier shop, buy a postcard of the Temple Mount / Mt. Carmel / the Dead Sea / whatever and mail it to you?
