HI01 is on its way to Ireland!

Have a safe, fun voyage, little one!

Hi Sidney...

in the past few months (especially in the past few weeks) the travelling journal project has lifted further out of the hands of its efficient instigator, jose anes. up until recently, jose has been issuing journals and doing a very good job minding their whereabouts and posting scans and maintaining a password-protected website. Jose's envisioning/rules for participation seem to work well for the majority of the journals.

Sonia has released a larger journal with modified rules (I think) so contact her if you don't like the tiny moleskines. I have made a few handmade journals that are the same size as the Moleskines, and will continue to do so (next in line is to make an international journal -- thanks to those that are waiting patiently). Hana has made a journal too. These are all the ones I know about. I currently have no other names for another US journal, but would be glad to include you on the next one. Or someone else can pick you up on a journal that they're intending to send out. I'll contact you when I'm ready to release another homemade US journal but it might not be any time soon. (But I'll continue to take names for those that are interested).

Hana, glad it made it ok. Enjoy!!!

Sent ANES015 off back to Jose. It felt like such a short visit!

Yippee

Have to practice now

H101 arrived today

Am I actually expected to deface this with my scribble ?

It is LOVELY.

Hi All,

I wonder if H101 is going to make its way to UK after it has sojourned in the RoI?

I would love to get in on one of the traveling journals.

Regards,

Chris

Chris, as I remember we were going to include you in mine and then it didn't quite happen.

However, when I get it from jweaver. I'll send it along to you and we can go from there!

Thanks. I am disproportionately excited about joining one of the TJ.

Yours with bated breath,

Chris

I signed-up a while back but the journal (#7, I think) got stuck somewhere and never got to me. I still want to participate. Now that there are many traveling around, who do I contact. I wanna play!

Doug

I hope it's not too small-- I thought about everything else 'cept the size! :doh: It is shorter than the Moleskine ones, so maybe it's easier to hold open. I'm glad it's made it safely across the Atlantic, though!

-Hana

I forgot to say that MM01 made its way to Denver around, uh, last Friday I think! I will do my scribbles and send along shortly.

I have added my embarrassed contribution to H101 and it has been ready to go for the last week.

Just as I was about to have it posted I got a PM from Alvyn (to whom I was about to post the loaner "51") who mentioned that the post at this time of year can be dicey !
Taking his advice I've dropped anchor on everything.

Unless anyone has serious objections I will hold off until the week after Christmas.

In my mind I have a vision of Hana with a HUGE magnifying glass sitting over the journal writing
I have never seen writing so beautiful, so small and yet so readable
The mind boggles.
Unfortunately it is also the sort of thing that gets me going off on yet another tangent - "I must try that" Our local optician will be delighted

Enjoy Christmas folks,

Regards,
Ruaidhrí

MM01 is on its way to Betty. Hopefully Denver is not about to get a second blizzard that would delay it.

Yippee!!! I haven't received a journal in a long long time already

Received MM01

ANES-016 has finally left Tacoma/University Place enroute to Betty in NY!

Sorry for the delay folks - I kept it a bit to long and then forgot about it ovber the holidays! My sincere apologies for tying it up so long!

Jim Couch

Now that the dust has settled on Christmas/New Year post I felt safe to post HIOI today

Enjoy it,

Still feeling sheepish about writing in it with my scrawl

Regards,
Ruaidhrí

Edited to remove name ! - Apologies, Ruaidhrí

Hurray! Onward ho to the Netherlands, little one!

BTW, its name is E'ch-Ai-Zero-One.

-Hana

O, my, I'd better get practicing right away!

Thanks for the heads up, Ruaidhrí. Hana, I'll take good care of it! ^_^

HI01 arrived here (in The Netherlands) quite safely... It's in front of me on my desk right now.

Thanks! ^_^

Phew

Regards,
R

HI01 is on it's way to Wim! ^_^

Hooray! Thank you, HyperCamper!

-Hana

MM01 - Sent back to Matt in CA (scanned)
MM03 - Left today to NYC. (Forgot to scan. Will scan on next round)

ANES013 - Full - Taken out of circulation. (scanned)

ANES009 - In New Mexico - Was slightly delayed due to change of address.
ANES016 - In New Mexico - Was slightly delayed due to change of address.

I don't remember the number (it's at home), but MM0#, whichever one I'm in, made it to Manhattan and was picked up on Friday. Yay! What a lovely book!

Received MM03 1/22/07

Does anyone know Jason Weaver? He's had the big Moleskine journal since mid-October. I PMed him a few times and he was very nice, but the journal still hasn't been sent along and he did not reply to my email.

I'm hoping he's just been busy and will send it soon, I would be really bummed if it never made even one round, after getting so close to home.

I signed up for one of these traveling journals (anejo07, I think) but it got "stuck" with the person before me. This back in May. I follow this thread and see everyone else laughing and rabbit-butt-dancing and having such fun. I feel so left out. Hey, I wanna play! How do I do that?

Doug

Join another book I think I'm on 3 books right now!

You can contact Matt Melincki or Jose (sorry, I don't know their specific screenames here)

Jose's screenname is joseanes.


Jim

I've asked a couple of times to be added on to any european journal and have heard nothing at all so I don't know if I'm on the list or not...... just keeping my fingers crossed!

Just discovered this thread and want some! How do I go about joining in? have to be a UK/Europe one though, unless we're going truly international?

Wim just emailed me to tell me that he has received HI01. How exciting!

-Hana

MMO3 arrived yesterday from Betty. The long transit time was explained by the journal (BTW, VERY nice job on that, Matt) arriving in a plastic bag indicating that it had been damaged in transit. Not to worry, it was the envelope that suffered damage and not the journal. I'm looking forward to writing in it and passing it on.

MMO3 departed for home today (coming back atcha, Matt!).

MM01 went home in Monday's mail, but I forgot to post here. Whee!

Does anybody know where anes009 and 011 are? I mailed them off weeks and weeks ago.

-Jack

& Where is MM02? I hope it hasn't gotten lost!

-Hana

ANE015 is stuck at my place! Sorry about that, but I have been in a sling for two months! Kinda hard to write!

I think the one I mailed out was MM01, but it might have been MM02 -- Hana, was I on the address list of the one you mailed out?

Yes, you are the last on the list of MM02. (If my memory serves me right, MM02 was released before MM01, so that's how you may have the two confused. )

-Hana

Thanks for letting us know it hasn't gotten lost! Hope your arm gets better soon.

-Hana

Hi folks!! sorry i've been incommunicado on this post... things in my life are really busy.

but a journal update: MM01 was received about two weeks ago, and it was put in the mail to go to yoyology (Karl) last night.

MM03 is in my hands; it arrived a few days ago. I am likely to send it off in a few more days.

MM02 has not arrived. I have moved to SF and can't get a mailforward for my old address; I hope you didn't mail it to Oakland, Velma, but I suppose I will try to stop by the place this weekend (yucko).

I have delayed sending out any other journals. I have a note to myself that corien, carol, and jim would like to be on an international journal, but I am quite sorry that I haven't made it nor sent it out. I'll still do it (but it would be nice to have a fifth person!). Should I make it with a bit more pages? a bit bigger, or do you still want something the size of the moleskine cahier (which fits in a standard size envelope).

I want to say that I applaud Jose greatly for managing most of these journals. I am very happy to make lots of them (that's really not the hard part). What is difficult is staying afloat of this message thread to find the people that want to participate. If someone wants to organize a list of five names and addresses (including mine!) I am happy to make journals and send them out. Seriously, this is a really fun project, but I'm not good at orchestration, and I'm trying to work more efficiently at my research, which means no (or little) internet. That said, back to work!!

I started a new thread for those of you who are interested in joining a journal:

Hope that helps some!

MM03 was sent to Kendall this past weekend, for round two. whee!

MM04 and MM05 are bound and waiting to be inscribed and sent off to new people.

MM01 was sent for round two last week, on to Yoyology

HOWEVER: MM02 is hopelessly lost. What a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing Hana's handwriting, but at least all the participants got a turn writing in the journal.

See Hana's new thread if you would like to be included in a traveling journal in the future. I am eager to keep binding new ones, now that somebody else is happily handling the logistics.

ANES018 arrived in SF. (Is MM03 still alive? Our group may have double-journals out, which is perfectly fine, since we're a reliable bunch). I'll send it on to Kendall in a few days. Betty, I love the scratch-on decorations and I'm glad you're finding some use for them!!!

MM07 (actually my sixth journal; I misnumbered, MM06 will be next) is about to go out to Handlebar, I just need to print and paste the addresses in; this is the first day I turned on my computer in a few days -- I've been so so busy.
