Should we do a postcard swap next week for National Postcard Week? (UPDATE: WE ARE!) Just saw a mention by Jessamyn about NPCW... should we make a quick mailing list and send postcards next week? Kind of like a mini-version of the Xmas card swap? →[More:]If people are interested, I'll gather the addresses and email them around on Monday. Speak up here in the thread and let's see if there's enough interest.

Timing is perfect. We'll be in Puerto Vallarta next week and I'm sure we can find some awful postcards I could send. Need mailing list soon, though.

Oh yeah, I'd be up for this.

I am always in favor of postcard swapping. Fun fact that postcard is from my mother's collection which she donated to Harvard/Radcliffe a few years back.

Yes, me! Love sending and receiving postcards!

Cool! My email's in my profile- send me your mailing addy and a name for people to address postcards to. I'll send the list out Monday morning Eastern US time. And bearwife, if you or anyone else wants to send postcards out later due to travel or work or whatever, I doubt anyone would mind! :)

Yes please!!

I would like to do this. I have a gmail account (and it's in my profile). Caveat: I'm not very prompt.

Don't forget to email me a mailing address if you want to receive postcards as well as send them...

danf, theora, send me an address please if you want people to send you postcards.

I'd love to send this to a good home. The paper is being difficult and may be somewhat torn around the edges.

Address sent to BoPo and also page cut with relative success from the block with a good kitchen knife (I almost mistyped that as "knoife" two times in a row.)

Me me, going to email you.

Whew, finally got some computer time - I'd love to join and am emailing you, BoringPostcards.

Sent about half of mine out today! The rest tomorrow.

posted by danf 10 May | 00:16

Mine won't go out till next week- but at least they're good (and boring!) ones. :)

I also got my first one in the mail today! Thanks, JanetLand!

Yeah JanetLand gets the gold star. . .Most of mine should be at their destinations by Monday.
