That would have been pretty sweet. Great idea!

There 20 crayons left. We have a few going overseas and more pictures from other countries would be preferred. Any DVDTalkers in other countries feel free to get a crayon. The stamps are already bought.

Oh bad timing. If this happened a few months from now, I would take a picture of my crayon on Mt. Fuji.

Heat it is a good idea but it wil depend on people's ideas and how long it takes to get to them. No time frame for now.
RoyalTea I completely understand anyone not willing to send their information/address out. The hope is that the exchange of an address is a trade people are willing to make. Every envelope that goes out will have my home address on it. So for all of you to get a lot of junkmail, I have to break my promise. For me to get inundated it will only take one disgruntled crayon receivee.
NYSoprano the idea of a contest or vote is a good one. Have to work out some details. You want in on this? Or do you have some ideas?

Photochopped and non-photochopped? Yes. Very much, yes.

Any ideas before the crayons start coming in?

-back at dinner.

we'll need to put some kind of time limit on it or these things will trickle in forever. for example someone might wait until vacation 6 months for now for a cool shot, etc.

Ok, ok, the peer pressure is too much for me. If any of the remaining crayons need a fabulous home, I'll take him.

YGM.

At this point, it occurs to me that these crayon stories should be documented with the pics on a web page.

I can write the HTML, but my server is now behind a DSL connection and the IP address really does change every few hours now.

I've already started.

I should have it ready by the time people start posting pics.

I think the perfect site would be www.iccs.org but alas it is already taken.
