FOTLabs: Mail Art 'Extreeeem' Edition

[KickTheBobo]

Hi All,

Thanks again to all that participated in the previous Mail Art project. Hopefully by now everyone has pretty much sent & received their envelopes.

So what I would like to get started is a master list for the Mail Art Extreeeem Edition. This is NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, mind you. You will be required to send a piece out to everyone on the list.

Say we have 15 people sign up. Everyone receives a listing with all the addresses on it. Depending on how many people sign up, you will roughly have a week to send out EACH envelope piece. This may go on for months. You could do them all in a weekend if you prefer, but please do not drag your feet on this. Out of respect for everyone else playing the game you must commit to sending out. Do NOT wait 2 months and then send out a whole stack of half-assed pieces.

Yes, it will be a lot of work on your part BUT - you will also be receiving a BUTTLOAD of mail coming in!

Any questions/ comments can be directed here. I will be copying this message to all that participated last time. Signups will close in roughly one week.

note: please remember to use your board nickname when corresponding. I may not know that 'CrunchAndMunch' from the board is actually Gary Dinkle from Kalamazoo Michigan when I receive your email for signup.

Thanks, hope too hear from you all!

Let's do this, people. I'm going to counter his warnings with enthusiasm. YOU CAN DO THIS. IT WILL BE AWESOME. ETC! ETC! Sorry, that's all the positive affirmation I can muster in the morning. I look forward to getting mail from Mr. Dinkle and the rest of you.

yes!  this is great.

edit: i forgot to mention, please forgive me for having a po box, guys.  i'd rather get your mail myself than have some crackhead enjoy all my goodies.

Fart. I think I need to bow out this round, since I start a new job next Monday and I'm likely to be preoccupied for the next month reading tons of new stuff.

I'm considering it.

[senorcorazon]

I'm considering it.

Remember what Conan said in his final show: "I don't like consideration. People should just do things that are awesome." 

[Martin]

Remember what he said next: "International postage rates are through the roof."

[KickTheBobo]

I'm considering it.

DO IT!


according to this chart here, a max 20 ounces letter to outside Europe is:

9.20 SEK = 1.25830 USD

And the price of a 1 oz letter to Sweden is US $0.98.


That's the cutest mail-man ever.

You make a convincing and creative argument, KtB.

(The postage you quoted is not entirely accurate, that's for like bulk shipments etc. But no matter. I'm in.)

[KickTheBobo]

bumped for Last Call. We've got a great bunch of folks that have signed up already so hop to it!

roster closes at 9pm EST Sunday night. Instructions/ list to follow afterwards.

Mail goes out tomorrow, people. I cheated and did 5 x 4 or whatever the card size is. We have no real envelopes in this house.

[Martin]

I'll get on this tomorrow. Been out and about the whole week.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i'm going to the post office tomorrow; i'm very pleased with what i did.
