art show mailing

The art show mailing is ready to drop off -- thanks to [livejournal.com profile] roozle, [livejournal.com profile] n2mlq, [livejournal.com profile] cogitationitis, [livejournal.com profile] hotpoint, [livejournal.com profile] paradoox, Don, Jill, Zanne, and Al. Nine people collated, folded, and wafer-sealed an 800-piece mailing in about an hour, saving a bunch of cash and many hours of back and forth with the mailing-house folks. Thanks to the joys of modern computing, no one had to apply address labels or postage; they were printed right on. And because our artists are spread all over the country, there's less than $2 advantage to band and sticker and sort the mailing any way other the than strict zip code order I used to print it.

Next up: the programming mailing.

Wow, and thank you!!! Sorry I wasn't around to help! Are you sending one to me, so I can copy it to the latecomers?
Wow, you guys so rock!

You know, I don't see your address in here. I can make up a small stack of them and send them your way, sometime in the next couple of days.

Would you mind sending me a mailer please?
Thanks!

I do have access to copiers, if more than one is a hassle.

You do have my address, right?

Had you posted to staff asking for volunteers? I don't remember seeing any mention of it.

I had thought that I'd be ready to do this collation on Thursday, and had gone so far as to reserve space at Wainwright then, with plans to announce on both the mailing lists and the LJ community. But I'm also including some info from the mass mailer, which isn't (and doesn't need to be, for its purposes) done. And that took a little while to get into a form where I could mail it. I figured if it was going to be Sunday anyway, I could get folks to do it at Corporate Meeting, and that worked handily. I don't know that we could have gotten more hands involved; we were running out of flat surfaces.

Ah, OK. Makes sense. Glad it went smoothly!
