i don't suppose the organizer(s) could arrange it so that east coast people get sent cards from the west coast and vice versa? assuming it would require minimal effort.

regardless, i'm totally into this.

its much easier to just do resend spokecards out as soon as they come in. and trying to predict who will follow through and who will not and whose cards will get lost in the mail is hard.

let me get this straight...

we can design anything we want?
and it needs to be the size of or smaller than a post card?

can we also do multiple cards? say, one card per catagory?

I have tons of designs I'd like to make into spokecards... I don't want to limit myself to one...

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be somehow space monkey themed though....

final clarifying:

all spokecards must fit within a 6 by 4.5 inch envelope. if you make one that's bigger, it won't be included in the exchange, but will get documented and be considered for an "award."

you could send out as many as you'd like, but each entry must enclude a self addressed stamped envelope. because it is random, you could get one of your own cards back. don't go overboard, two is probably enough. will i accept three? yes. four? probably. more? ... pick out the best ones or create your own event.

there will be judging, but the categories will be created on the fly. the prizes are also yet to be determined. this is kind of a "bonus" thing that isn't to be taken all that seriously. i will have the end say in this, but there will be help. if anyone has ideas for categories, please post them. if anyone would like to donate something for an award, pm me.

if you make a dud, it doesn't matter. someone will get it, and you'll get one back. the easiest way around this problem is not to make a crappy card.

you DO NOT have to follow the theme if you don't want to.

cards will go out randomly.

deadline is december 4th.

how hard can this be? get out your photoshops, prismacolors, and rubber cements. don't forget there's a front and a back. don't be shy about sending your card in EARLY either. i can't wait.

You WILL scan all of the cards and make a flickr set or something, right? RIGHT??? At least post the best ones here. Please?

This sounds great. Let thinking commence....

im in

<---- in

Sounds Ultra Fantastic!
im in!

When is the deadline?!

Oh my gawd, why do people keep asking about the deadline?

I don't have a spoke card. I'm in! I've got some glitter glue that needs to be used up...

I am sending at least 1 super offensive one and the other ones ( total of 5) will be neat ...to say the least.
:)

Dont mess with RI, there's like 50 of us...

haha I love RI, spent most of my teen years there

Oh no, I'm stalling out on my card concept. How stiff/floppy should it be?

I'm sure it's fine, baby. It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean, generic reassurance, etc.

Generic reassurance - my favourite kind!

Beer was the best idea since sliced bread. This, a close second.

Mr. Samsa. I'll make you a card just cause. PM/email me a snail mail. I'll send you the "fortune" card.
Few have seen it, fewer have recieved.

Is it OK to post this to the livejournal.com bikepirates community, or is it a BF only thing? I'm sure a lot of people in there would want to contribute.

On a related note, my friends and I just spent 3 hours making cards for the exchange.

done, done and done*


*well not yet, but will be.
