I can start it off from Jakarta.→[More:]
Bonus points if the path of its travels (on a map) is teh bunnay.

Yeah I know you have corpses exquisee strung up on the clothesline. I mean snailmail.

I'm not an artist per se, but I'd be down.

I would say yes, except I still owe some mechans small cloth bunnies from over a year ago. I hope to get to it before the end of 2007.

I suck at this kind of stuff, but it sounds fun.

typewriter - I was one of your group. Please don't send me one as I didn't get mine done either. Between the arthritis in my left hand and my bad left shoulder, I can't sew anymore.

"Jakarta?"

"No, she went on a plane"

deborah - but what if I *want* to fulfill my bunny-making obligations? You can't stop me... ha ha! I have your address and everything. I could send you bunny after bunny until you have to move due to all the bunnyness! I might still do them. Who knows when? It will be a surprise.

I'm in Riga, Latvia and will mail anyone anything within reason. Sushiwiththejury: I lived in Bandung last year! Please enjoy some extra greasy gorengan for me today!

Sure... Is it a mail corpse though? Like, we send the same postcard or sketchbook and each successive person adds something?

posted by shane 05 November | 23:25

I'll play.

posted by lilywing13 06 November | 00:01
