Todd, you're fabulously wealthy. Will you spring for the platinum hinges and diamond-studded clasp or what?

19:53 / 05.11.03

*jumps up and down at the thought of decorating a bit of the cover*

What about if whomever has the book to begin with (BK) rules lines to divide the cover up into the right number of squares, so we get one square each to decorate?

23:02 / 05.11.03

You know if I'd get my druthers (aint that a cool word? druthers..what I would rather..druthers) I'd love to have Tom do the cover seeing as how everything "Lithic is his fault. But thats juz me.

23:11 / 05.11.03

Maybe we should leave the cover until the book is complete... I'd hate for someone's efforts to be ruined amidst delivery.

As the pages will be scanned, what if some-one graphical Like TOM where to compose a cover based on those scanned images?

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

23:41 / 05.11.03

How about stickers, for the cover? A sticker for everywhere it's been... like travel stamps. And when both covers are as full as can be... we work our way on to the inner covers.

And...

Oh, I just had a special sticker in mind.

09:37 / 06.11.03

I think we should sign and date the inner cover/flyleaf when we get it, to provide an ongoing saga of where the book's been. Would it make it easier or harder if we had a theme? Would that inspire people or cramp their style?

The Apple-Picker

21:49 / 06.11.03

I've been told that it isn't too late for me to get in on this.... May I be involved?

The Apple-Picker

21:52 / 06.11.03

Oh, and I'm here:

Dayton, OH
USA

22:41 / 06.11.03

I'm in.

Captain Zoom.

Oakville (Toronto) Ontario.

Zoom.

00:32 / 07.11.03

Zoom! My God! You're alive!

05:45 / 07.11.03

I think I'd prefer not to have a theme.

17:26 / 07.11.03

Yes to signing the inside cover and dating it, wiill look cool with everyone's signatures.
And I agree with Ariadne, no to a theme, let randomness prevail

.

17:29 / 07.11.03

Yeah to the signing, nay to the theme

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

17:58 / 07.11.03

Agreed. We want a bit of everyone.

I want your toenails.

18:47 / 07.11.03

ok, then, everything's settled. I am sending it.

I know I said before that I was sending it, but I really am now, I'm truly very sorry! but I am adding something, very small and insignificant, to the thing. I hope you like it.

(am so very shy at this moment, so be kind)

19:45 / 07.11.03

Hurray, we've started! Thanks for that, bitchiekittie. And I'm sure what you've added is great. I'm pretty insecure about my own potential contribution and I'm sure lots of us feel the same way. But the finished product should be fantastic.

22:59 / 07.11.03

Would it make sence to start another thred devoted to the logistics of this project. Where it is currently, What its next destination is. As people jump onto the site it may be tricky making sure it spends as little time as possible in the mail.

Maybe simple posts like:

"____" just recieved it on X date in Y location and will mail it to "____" who is in "Z" location next . . . unless someone closer chimes in and says so

00:10 / 08.11.03

I think a new thread is a good idea... bitchiekittie, can you start it, with who you're sending it to?

Maybe we can leave this thread for anyone who wants to add their name from now on?

Straylight
Elmira, Oregon

14:22 / 10.11.03

I've sent the book to NY, and started a new thread to log it's travels here

bit of warning, so I don't feel quite as embarrassed about my contribution: I have no artistic talents, not a whit, I just like to play with glue. nothing turned out the way I wanted it. whatever could go wrong, did. and I found that everything I wanted to include eluded me. and to top it all off, instead of my normal reliable glue, I invested in some pricier glue, which then proceeded to betray my trust and my investment by being crap.

also, I cut myself on a bit of metal I was using and, due to my body's talent for drama, bled everywhere....except on the notebook.

however, excessive whining aside, I really did have fun doing it. nothing like gluey fingers to make a girl happy.

16:38 / 10.11.03

Well Kittie,

that sounds like a perfectly suitable a,er . . . birth trauma for our little project...

maybe a dash of blood would have aded to it all anyway

Regrettable Juvenilia

08:45 / 11.11.03

Signing up very late, but if it's going to be being passed from hand to hand in London I have no excuse:

Joe, London, UK

Tryphena Absent

10:29 / 11.11.03

Firstly- do we have to send it by post or can we pass it by hand (I prefer post because of the stamps thing) and also I think, once it reaches the UK, it would be best to start in Southampton and then work up the country?

11:07 / 11.11.03

Sounds about right to me (because I get it quickly then!)

Tryphena Absent

14:31 / 11.11.03

16:50 / 11.11.03

I've thrown up a website, with the current list of participants, and the route so far... I'll update it as it goes along...

The Barbelith Wandering Notebook

16:52 / 11.11.03

Oops! Apologies to Nelson Evergreen for forgetting to add him to the above list! He's on the website's list...

16:59 / 11.11.03

the link isn't working, baz

Cloned Christ on a HoverDonkey

17:49 / 11.11.03

Is it too late to sign up for this? I sincerely hope not, coz it's just about the most weezer idea I've heard in ages.

Here's hoping:

Stevie Dubplate®

Bramhall, Cheshire, UK

19:30 / 11.11.03

Oops. I've requested a moderation to fix the link above. It's here

23:36 / 11.11.03

That's beautiful, Baz!

23:37 / 11.11.03

Oh cool, you can click on the map too!

16:14 / 12.11.03

I guess it should be pointed out that the book should at some point go back to Bitchiekittie, perhaps on its way to florida. As I understood it, she purchased it and mailed it but did not actually make use of her 2-4 pages, do to being somewhat shy. Is that still the case?

and is 2-4 pages correct in terms of individual alotments?

17:13 / 12.11.03

I did decide to contribute - lots of glue. I used the front and back of one page. I think it's only 90 pages.

I fedexed it, because I took too long and also because I like to track packages online. it's great fun, see? apparently they attempted delivery to an absent qalyn.
