To anybody that sent me something: I'm not being an ungrateful jerk, it's just that my mailbox was destroyed a while ago and I only got around to fixing it today.

We still need one more participant to round out the late entries.

Email me your address to kickthebobo@gmail.com to join up. It's FUN!

Does this thing go in rounds, or what?

No, but once this game ends (everyone has received their mail) I am going to announce signups for FOTLabs Mail Art XTreeeeeme. This will be where everybody sends something out to everyone else. Send a dozen, get a dozen. The allotted timeframe will be a month or so (depending upon participants)

Yay! This will give me time to be inspired by school! This means everyone will get my notes from class, insanely decorated!

I got mine from Steve in Bloomington last night! It's a rebus puzzle, so I should be able to solve it in another year or so.

Thanks Steve! It's super cool!

I am mailing mine now - my first wacky project went awry, so I had to go to plan B.

I just got your submission--but, as it was in a manila envelope and not a normal letter envelope, it violates the rules.  So I had to throw it out without opening it.

If I had opened it, I would have thanked you, especially for the David Lee Roth trading card, which will go up in my office.  I also would have thanked your for the beauty propaganda which would have gone nicely with a brochure I picked up at CES: http://img70.yfrog.com/i/wtes.jpg/

I know! *SOB* I BROKE THE RULES!

My mailbox is back. Thanks to Pat K! I liked the historical bit about the elephant.

I love this project. My landlord fixed my mailbox thursday so friday i got a fuckton of mail . KTB is excellent, and as such his letter is now up on my wall of excellent things (it's in the perfect place - i can stare at it every morning when i wake up).

Plus Edward Gorey and a mysterious old(ish)-timey postcard. I want the next round of this to happen now now now.

I was thrilled to receive my FOT Mail today, from none other than Emma (formerly) from Toronto!

DoodleJump, your letter showed up in my mailbox yesterday. I love it! You really went the full 9 yards with the envelope decoration and everything. That drawing is going right up on my fridge. Thanks!
I'm warning you with peace and love.

I'm so glad! I'm sorry for the lateness. I had fun with the picture (and envelope!), so I'm flattered that it gets the honor of sticking to your fridge!

Yes - right next to the magnetic poetry and those parking tickets I keep forgetting to pay.

I am not smart. Am I waiting to receive something before I send something, or should sending something have been automatic?

I'm so sorry.

You should be making something now and you should have a person to send it to. Hopefully the person lucky enough to have you as a sendee is doing the same thing now.

I wrote down the wrong address and got it shot back to me. I'm not saying who I got, but it should be on its way to the correct address now!
