If you think about it this is a very extensive project, you have to get everyones mailing address, you have to get everyone involved, you would have to make a ledger to keep track of who has the "flat stanley" as you call it. To make it a real "travel" guide you have to find people across the states who want to get involved...Im down for it but if you guys are just gonna use it as a "west coast" thing you might as well not even bother mailing it and just print it. I mean down for the trek, but i feel that everyone will probably lose interest in a couple of weeks...especially since all the crazy shit happens on the weekend..its no fun if you get the "picture" and just take a picture of it on your couch ya know... like you gotta one up the other person.. like make a competition to see who can take the craziest picture without being to lewd.

well gee, hes in mass, you're in indiana and im in ny.. so its not just a west coast thing. and the whole point is to get a good, funny, crazy picture with it, if you get it on monday, just wait till the weekend to take a picture and then mail it out.

you dont have to get everyone's address, you just choose who want it to go to next and ask them for their address

edit: hes not in cali h:

yeah, no limit necessarily. i think about 3-6 pics would be a nice amount. i mean, we certainly don't want two or three pics at the same location, only at slightly different angles.

and this is thinking far ahead, but possibly for the final voting, you'll choose your favorite, and submit it for the final.

well, i see your points, but read on... i'm on the east coast, so it will start here. it WILL make it across the country. i know there are west-coast and mid-west guys that have expressed interest. see my post above about how i propose it will at work. we don't have to keep everyone's mailing address, the way i'm planning it. just read my long post above.

the way i'm planning it, the only time you have to worry about anything if after you receive the guy, and take your photos, you post them up, and mail it on. i think most people will agree that it'll be nice to be completely hands off, until they have the character in their hands.

and by the way, the person about to receive it will know because they'd just have been PM'ed for their address.

I understand that but i think Reno should have everyones email address at least because, you cant be sittin on the forums all day waiting for someone to respond to you to see if they still want to be involved in this ya know.

^ possibly. i'd rather not have a list of everyone's address. i dont' think a lot of people will feel comfortable with that. but we can figure that out once we have the list of participants, and this guy ready to go.

Well, how can we sell addresses to 3rd-party organizations for a profit if we can't list them. GOSH RENO, THINK!
