If you have changed your mind and are interested, please email or PM me before Saturday. Thanks!
Did I officially say that I was in? Because I would like to be.

You're in. Now we just need to figure out which country you'll be in!

Well I'll be at my current address (in Ohio) at least until the middle of May, and even then I probably won't be moving too far afield.

A good question. I figure 2 weeks/participant, so we're looking at ~6 months.

Of course, I've not heard from Marc or OSB, so I don't know to whom I could send it. Maybe, if neither of them want it, I'll hold on for a year and re do this in 2010.

Cool. Email/PM me that address and I'll get you early into the rotation.

re: The USPOL Traveling Item

What exactly is the concept of this game anyway - besides that posters send it around to eachother?

Are those who receive it supposed to take it to local sites/events and photograph it there etc?

Btw, I think all pictures taken of it without our posters could just as well be posted in this thread...

Sorry, I know I wasn't very clear. Basically, this is an opportunity to show a little bit about ourselves and where we live. So, pictures with the tiger and something famous in your area, or something cool and different, or whatever you think is appropriate are perfect. And, yeah, I should have mentioned that the idea is to post the pictures in this thread (or a parallel one I create). I'll also try to set up some space on my server to host pictures as well, depending on how many weekends I end up working in a row...

I loled.

I'm in, by the way. I would prefer to send it within Europe somewhere, as I'm trying to save every krone I can.

Sending my address to Pram shortly. I'm pretty sure I can borrow a camera from someone.

re: The USPOL Traveling Item

I think its possible to at least double the participants in this game - if we get people to be aware of it in the first place.

Just PM an invitation (and a link to this thread) to 4 or 5 people on your friend list, and then ask them to do the same.

I sended invitations to Aarstad (obviously), Malvolio, Tethys, and also Winther from China just for the hell of it...
