Anyone interested? If so, email me and I’ll put you on the list. Send username, email address at which I can contact you, and name and address for mailing. Each person on the list will be randomly assigned another person on the list to whom they should send a coffee mug. If you are in the U.S. and are willing to ship out of country, please state so. Likewise, if you are non-U.S. but are willing to ship to the U.S., please state so. I’ll try to match up these requests. Deadline: November 6 ---

I’ll bite. Should I assume my recipient will want a Philly souvenir? ---

I didn’t make any rules about the mugs because I didn’t want to stifle anyone’s creativity. Souvenir mugs are certainly appropriate. ---

I would participate, but I only have one coffee mug with any kind of design on it (a UA mug), and I can’t afford another one. (I’m currently worth $1.75 and a meal plan.) ---

I sent my e-mail over to **laina\_f** earlier today. I have this thing for coffee mugs from odd places, so it’s right up my alley. 🙂 ---

I sent my email. They don’t make touristy coffee mugs of where I live. So I’m afraid someone’s going to be blessed with a freebie from a subcontractor at my old job, unless I can dig up something better. Lucky you! 🆒 ---

I sent my email, and forgot to mention that I’ll ship pretty much anywhere. My recipient can have a choice of one from my excessively large preexisting collection or a tourist mug from New Orleans. ---

Send me your mailing address. I’m sure we can find someone to send a coffee mug to a poor college student. ---
