It's time for the 18th no-longer-annual Shot Glass Exchange!

My favorite place to get Kansas stuff if the museum store, but the museum is closed for renovation. So I’m going to check another place. Maybe a KC Chiefs shirt to go with a glass. Okay, so the team is actually based in KCMO, but Kansas claims them too

What size do Australians wear? hint, hint.

Well, folks … we are now under starters orders.
Consigned today courtesy of Australia Post via the Pacific with destination US West Coast.
I have a tracking number but as I don’t have a phone number the recipient won’t get notifications … which will add just a touch of pique to the anticipation.

A note for anyone who may be following along but have not joined the exchange:

We have a few players who have picked up some extra goodies and are itching to send them to a fellow Doper/Dopers who may have hesitated to join the main exchange due to concerns about being able to reciprocate.

So if you’re interested in a shot glass but can’t send one yourself, please PM me and one of us – there’s 4 that I know of off the top of my head – will hook you up.

First out of the gate!

With UPS and on its way
“Where?” you say
Just on its way
If I say any more it will give it away.

I am beginning to see a semblance of The SGE Overlord emerging.

A Dr Claw-like figure in a low lit room, fondling his cat while watching over a Raumschach board where his preordained moves are being played out by his minions. And throwing out a trail of breadcrumbs to lure more into the control of his machinations.

Package: EJ315588759AU Status:
12th Oct @2:08 AEST cleared customs and waiting international departure.

I got stuff for the package today, and tomorrow I will work on packing it up. It should go out by Saturday,

Mine will probably hafta wait till Monday, as I hafta work all weekend like some ~rented mule~ valued employee.

I have the box, and the actual glass, but I’d like to obtain a few more small goodies to tuck in as well between now & then.

Thy patience shall be rewarded!

My father in law passed away last week, the funeral was yesterday, so I’ve been kinda busy this week with other things. Finally got a chance to do my shot glass shopping today and got the package sent out. It should arrive hopefully Monday or Tuesday.

Package is now firmly US-side

If my effort gets to be first to find its home it will be remarkable!

Dammit. Newbie effed it up… I messaged my buddy. Regardless, it’s on the way.

The extra goodies will be on the way, shortly. Sorry for the delay. I was in Virginia last week on business. I will for sure make up for it.

I have my goodies procured, and tonight will try to find a box in the garage to pack it all into. Hopefully it’ll get shipped out this week. It certainly should, anyway.

Package packed and posted to Ambro today. It’s in a box that says “LIVE PLANTS,”
but don’t worry - there are no live plants in the bnox!

Mine is out, and officially in the good hands of the USPS. Tracking number retained if needed.

I am mailing later than I meant to. I will be getting the boxes tomorrow and hopefully mail then too. If not, Friday at the latest. When I do mail I’ll put a notification in this thread.

Woo-hoo!!
Returned from a trip up to Nashville today and there was a package from Kansas in my mailbox! Got a nifty “Sunflower State” shot glass and a Free State Brewing Company t-shirt. Shot glass was immediately blessed.

Mucho thanks, Shoeless !!

Am I the first to get my parcel?

Final shipment arrived, and the package is mailed out.

You’re welcome @Labdad. I hope the T-shirt fits. Free State Brewing was IIRC the first microbrewery to open in Kansas (back in the 80s) since before Prohibition. Good food, great beer. As for the shot glass, I tried to avoid sports (Chiefs, Royals, Jayhawks) and also anything Wizard of Oz.
