I’m in, PM sent. And that was the first non-bill place I’ve used the address of the condo I’ll be closing on Friday. And these postcards may be my first non-bill/non-junk mail I get at the new place. ---

You are a Doper. That is more than enough supercoolness for anyone. Do I need to send you a personal invitation? 🙂 ---

> [@jayrey](#): > > You are a Doper. That is more than enough supercoolness for anyone. Do I need to send you a personal invitation? 🙂 No personal invitation necessary, I just don’t want to disappoint someone with a postcard that is less than “supercool.” Fine, twist my arm, I’m in. ---

Ooops, I just realized that **Helena** ’s user name is actually **Helena330**. I’ve made a note. **Atomic Mama** , can you receive PMs now? I know there was a time when you couldn’t. Do you need me to email your recipient list to you, when the time comes? If so, please PM me your email address. Thanks! ---

Just checking in to move this thread back to first page. Keep those PMs coming. If you know any Dopers outside of the US, PM them and invite them to play. We’re a bit short on international players this round. Thanks! ---

I feel like a slacker if I participate. I kind of disappeared from here after the breakup. But I really loved running the postcard exchange back in the day, and in fact when I unpacked at the New Geek Gala HQ - I smiled when I sorted through those that had survived the trip. ---
