I’d love to join in, but I’m moving very close to the deadline, so I’ll have to wait until later to figure out my mailing details. And I will happily send it anywhere in the world (I’d love to get a foreign glass in return!) in exchange for the difference in shipping costs. ---

I would like to participate. Most of my shot glasses are not travel souvenirs, though. They are mostly Murano styled hand-blown glass. I would need to know if whoever will get it from me is cool with those. And I don’t have any from Puerto Rico (although I could just as easily go and buy one if my receiver REALLY wanted one from here) I wouldn’t mind mailing abroad but I would prefer it if it were in the US (cheaper). Also, make note that PR counts as US for the purposes of the USPS, so I could be target for those who want US only. I sent my email ---

Anyone have an idea on how much it costs to ship international? Just a ballpark figure (closer to $10 or $50?). ---

[QUOTE=Joey P] Anyone have an idea on how much it costs to ship international? Just a ballpark figure (closer to $10 or $50?). [/QUOTE] Closer to $10. You could wrap the shot glass with enough newspaper to be ridiculously safe, stick it in a shoe box or small mailing box, and send it for not much more than $10. ---

Not to nitpick, but if you have an email in your inbox from a **fetus** (please don’t capitalize), it wasn’t me. Edit: Also, my shotglasses are cheap little things with crude phrases on them that my last roommate left when he moved (and didn’t want back). Anyone with travel souvenirs, hand-blown glass, etc. might feel ripped off, so if you’re worried about getting a fair trade keep that in mind. ---

Well right you are. I could have sworn that I saw your name on an email. Oh well. ---

[/QUOTE] The one I have up for consideration says Spring Break 2001 (neither I nor my wife went, I have no idea where it came from) and has two frogs on it doing it, er froggy style. I’ll probably pick up one that has something to do with Milwaukee. ---

Well maybe I set the end date a little far off, but it’s still set at May 31. We have just over 3 weeks until exchange time, so whomever else wants in on this, sign up now! ---

Hrm. Better count me out, just to be on the safe side–things are turbulent what with my impending move and my strange financial situation. Next time around. ---

I’d love to send one, but I don’t want one back in exchange. Is it OK to pay shot glasses forward? ---

I am looking forward to this exchange. I will say that I love all my shot glasses so the one(s) I will be sending out will be Nevada/Las Vegas souvenirs. If you get me on your exchange list and there is something particular that you want/don’t want- just let me know, I’ll do my best! 😃 ---

OK, with 6 days left until the deadline (geez, I need to make the wait a little shorter next time!) here is the last bump for anybody else who wants to join. ---

And one more bump for good luck. Any specific requests should be made now, or forever hold your…shotglass. Maybe we should call for all participants to raise a toast with their new glassware at a predetermined time next month. Simultoast!
