Have a 43p meetup in Chicago in November 07 (read all 5 entries…)
43 Postcards From Chicago 2 years ago

I’d been helping out 43ers on their goals to get postcards from every state, and knew I wanted to send some postcards from Chicago while there. Then it struck me that we should send 43 postcards from the 43 Things Chicago meet with everyone at the meet signing the postcards. So I compiled a list of 43 addresses to send a postcard to (which turned out to be 51 total 43ers since some people have the same address). Then those of us that were at this meetup spent some time passing the postcards around the table signing them. The best part was that after they were all signed, some people wondered who they were for because they’d never looked at what they were signing. I guess I should’ve sent around loan papers or something instead.

You

are like a modern-day Radar O’Reilly (“sign here, and here, and here, Sir”)!

You’re right – we’re all such trusting saps!

That’s really thoughtful that you had all of those at the meet sign them ~ it makes receiving even more fun!

Cool

I wondered if they actually would make it to their destinations. I’m glad it brought a smile to your face which is what I intended.

AmyBB25 ...and to all a good night!

thank you so much

The postcard really made my day! It was a good idea and very thoughtful of you. I’ll pretend that everyone knew exactly what they were signing and signed each card with love and a little story! ;)

Tood

When I was little I used to insist that my name was spelled “Todo”. Glad the card arrived and that you received it by surprise. I’d waited to post this entry until I figured the first few cards would’ve been delivered.

Oops...

Didn’t even notice my mistake.

And with the help of editing, it’s like it never existed!

Postcard Goals

There’s a whole bunch of people who have goals of receiving 43 postcards from 43 people, or receiving a postcard from all 50 states, etc. That’s where I started to build my list of 43 people to send postcards to. Don’t forget the Robots like postcards too.

Segsy is on furlow until January 18th! I hope!

You will be able to

once you achieve this goal.

Or you can just come out and ask for addresses like I did.

Naughty and Nice

Glad you got your card after I’d asked for your non-PO Box address. As for who is naughty and who is nice, I don’t think you’d need a handwriting analysis to find that out. Quick review of the people there: naughty, nice, naughty, nice, nice, nice, naughty, nice, nice, nice, naughty
