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.

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

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.

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

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.
