I've seen a few folks mention this, and a few more have asked me directly to send them shit. So, who's up for a bit of postcard exchange?

I travel a LOT. I'm currently in Hong Kong, and will be heading south to Thailand soon.

Obviously, with folks on the road, it can't be a straight swap sometimes. No worries, those things happen. So, if you're interested, drop a post and we'll work it out. Don't bother with specific addresses yet, we can keep those private over PMs and whatnot.

...Anyone?

I always buy cheap books/piles of postcards from thrift stores and garage sales and such, and I love getting mail. I was part of a postcard swap on BMEzine.com and I dont see why we couldnt try something similar here! once I get some stamps I'll send you some postcards arrow :p

Rash! You're that Rash? I think I have postcards you sent me. I was Oral Defecation on IAMBMEzine before I gave up on that.

And I'd love to exchange postcards. If anyone wants my address, PM me.

Hey stove, I'm HUGE fan of snail mail and postcards in particular, I'd love to participate in this. I'm about to head out on the road again (just states travel for now... probably), but I've got people (with addresses) who'd be willing to let me give out their address for a project like this. They would probably even take pictures of the cards and send email them to me. That way, I'd be able to see them wherever I happen to be. And I have a habit of finding really odd, sometimes ridiculous postcards in little shops. So I'd be more than happy to send a few your way. Hit me up?

I'm down! I like pen pals and most of mine don't write back anymore.

Cool, glad to see so much interest!

Well, I'm ridiculously paranoid about posting physical addresses on the internet and whatnot, so I'm going to work with the admins to find a way to do this without exposing addresses to the general StP population. Be patient, I really like the idea an dwill make sure that it does not fade into obscurity, but I am also obsessed with security. Those of you out there whom have physical addresses will hopefully appreciate it (be it squats, family, stalkers, etc).

See stove, you got a domestic swap already started...I'll get me some good card stock and print up some West Side Depot postcards, lol. (West Side Depot is what I call me weighstation. If you have ever sent or recieved anything to or from me, there is a (WSD) next to my name.) But yeah, I could use pictures of variouse dumpsters here in my town on the front, lol
I always wondered what the WSD was for...

I am INDEED that rash!!! and I remember you! I am sure I have a postcard or 2 from our trades back in the day (since all of those got stapled to my wall...)


I made some (7?) new post cards today out of this horror comix calendar I had, I got tired of seeing it laying around so I recycled it. Now these new (slightly small) cards need good new homes!! PM me if you want one!!

Hey, here in Europe there is a code from some navy, 2FaBe, which allows you to send postcards for free to anywhere in Europe, you just write this code on a peice of paper, and glue it on, anything like this for out of Europe?

ok a bunch of cards sent, they'll take a while, but they took a while to send, too, because a lot of shit has been going on. But they're on their way! Rash, pfat, Arrow, and others.
