Travelling Polish!

This is such an AWESOME IDEA that I have to steal it....

But first, credit to the originator: Carrie S. started a Facebook group with the idea that a bunch of people could sign up on a list, and then Carrie would start a bottle of polish on an adventure from person to person - each one uses the polish, then takes photos and sends postcards from each city it visits - then ships the bottle to the next person on the list.

My only concern is that shipping polish by mail is a slow, uncertain process that will impose huge delays - and it will get expensive too! So, I would like to organize a Polish RELAY for my followers and anyone who is interested. The idea here is for people to sign up by commenting "I'm in" below reading this FB note and adding yourself to the list - WITH your name, city, state/province, country, postal code and email - and I'll organize the list by proximity. Instead of shipping back and forth between countries, I would like the polish to be handed off in person whenever possible, and mailed only when necessary.... and the mail "hops" should be as short as possible. This will work best if people recruit friends near them... and those friends recruit friends etc...

I think the thing that is most fun about this idea is the opportunity to meet people, to make new friends and socialize... a bottle doesn't really experience anything, so I would like the bottle to become a way for PEOPLE to have and share experiences! Who's in?

  1. DAMN!! I didn't notice that the settings were for "no comments". Sorry! Comment if you want to join the relay. Don't worry about distance to start, hopefully the distances will get shorter as more folks join. And, in-person handoffs are never required - the method of delivery will be up to each pair to determine between themselves.
