I just wanted to let everyone know that the cards are swapped out. Tomorrow a friend of mine here at work is going to stuff the envelopes with a postcard and copies of press we got for the exhibit. That means that they'll be to the mail room on Monday and out to you soon after.

Thanks so much for participating in this exhibit. It was alot of work, but definitely worth it. I hope to do it again next year!
