PAIGNTON POSTCARD PROJECT 2009
Hello.
On Sunday I am going on holiday for five days to Paignton, Devon, UK. I really like it there. It looks (in places) like this:
This will be a really nice week, but also slightly traumatic in that my internet access is gonna be hella limited. So, here’s an idea I propose:
Would you like to receive a postcard?
Everybody loves (leisure) post, however minimal, right?
If you would like to participate, then please email ROMANCEISBORING@GMAIL.COM with the words “Postcard ’09″ in the subject line, and your address. I will then send you a postcard from sunny (hopefully) Paignton. In return, on receiving the postcard, you must email me a photograph of you with said card, which I will post up on the blog. Admittedly, this all sounds rather pointless, but it COULD be fun for me, and it’s INTERACTIVE, and that’s rad, right?
I think I’m gonna have to limit this to folk in the UK only, as posting abroad would be that little bit pricier and would take 4evaaaaaa. Sorry to offend anyone, but YANNO!!
Wkd. Let me know if you’re interested.
Even better, if you live in Paignton/Torquay, whatevs, LET’S HANG!! Tell me where’s good to watch the Champions League Final and I’ll love you forever.
Gxo
NB. Similarities to a poor man’s Horvitz Project, duly noted. Though this is clearly minus all the artistry.

First image is getting blocked for “image piracy”, oo-h ah so it be jim lad etc. etc.
I hope this doesn’t cost you too much Gareth! Ah well, I sent my address to you [just realised how weird this is...]
I joke, hope you have a great time in Paignton
I don’t have a digital camera
Oh and your first image doesn’t work.
I love Paignton and Torquay, my first ever family holidays were there in a caravan, we went for like 3 or 4 years in a row…I have tons of memories from there, I’ll go back one day for old time’s sake.
My great grandma lived in Paignton- she’s responsible for my dislike of strawberries and raspberries!
Can’t wait for the postcard! SO COOL
I am from Paignton. These are pictures I took of it to remind me of it when I’m in the big concrete city I live in: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=509729130&ref=profile#/album.php?aid=48666&id=509729130
By coincidence I am going home for the first time in ages next Thursday, the day after the CL final (obviously I’m staying in Manchester for that). Let me know if yr bored and I’ll take you somewhere good for a pint.
That sounds good actually mate. Nice one. Email me yr number?
Think I remember you mentioning that you lived there before actually.

Jenn – YOU don’t even have to send a picture back.
Laura – Typical it’d be YOU that noticed. Please notice I know my limits and are getting OTHERS to take the pictures.
oh! I’d like to receive a postcard from you but so sad that I’m not live in the UK T_____T anyway would you like to receive a postcard from another part of the world?
Oh noes!!! I just got so excited until I read the UK part. California is kind of like the UK… except bigger and warmer? Maybe I will just send you a picture with a postcard from here?

I did that with my friends! Except that finals, papers and moving got in the way so I was only able to send out about half of the postcards. The other half is sitting in my room.

You missed BMAD!
That was in Paignton a few weeks ago, they had guys doing stunts on bikes, it was so great.
Anyway I’ll request a post card, give everyone an address to send cards to, and see who can post the worse one.
