My friend Ashley had the most brilliant of ideas. She organized and is throwing a good old fashion letter writing party.
Basically a bunch of people are going to get together and write letters. Since I’m pretty horrible about writing letters this is going to be a good opportunity to get some letter writing practice in. The party is set for Wednesday, July 22. So I’m collecting addresses from folks. If you would like to receive a fantastic letter from me, please email me ( drew at mohdi dot com) your mailing address. Chances are you will get a nice little surprise in the mail.
I think people all over should have letter writing parties. Here’s how Ashley is describing the event. Brilliant.
WHAT IN THE WORLD?
Come celebrate this country’s finest public service– 44 cents for guarenteed, uncensored communication weighing one ounce or less with anyone in the continental 48 that you can put an address or P.O. Box to.
BRING
-yourself and your beautiful sensibility
- address(es) of friends, lovers, mothers, or foes
- art supplies / interesting, flat artifacts to send away
- your friends (lovers, mothers, and foes)
DO NOT BRING
- perishable iteams
- flammable or explosive goods
- knives, razors, boxcutters
- fireworks, hopscotch or other illegal hobbies
THESE CANNOT BE MAILED!
*ENVELOPES AND STAMPS can be purchased at cost during the party
**supplies are free and available to everyone who can’t bring their own (pens, paper, paints, etc)

Oh yeah.. You should try to get me your mailing address ASAP! I’ll try to get letters out to everyone who sends their address even if it’s sent late on Wednesday.

I’m totally holding a letter writing party weekend as the weather cools. I think it’s a super idea! Thanks for posting the invite – that’ll make my job as hostess a tiny bit easier as I now have a template to tweak!

That’s absurd! My name is Ashley too and I recently threw a letter writing party. It was also a chips n’ dips party, incidently.
What are the odds?
What ARE the ODDS!
