I’d like to attend. I’m a new Postcrosser from Marin. I’m amazed at how big a community this is! Thanks for organizing this and hope to see lots of new faces to close out the old year.

So, I haven’t had time to sit down and work on a design for the card yet, but… what do you guys think about those meetup cards that use the space on the FRONT of the card for the signatures? 
I just received one today from China. This is what it looks like.

I think that’s a fun idea! As long as it isn’t too slippery for the ink

Still tossing around ideas for the card design - am open to ideas!
I was thinking since it’s been “the year of AI” maybe having an AI designed card with some of the classic AI flaws - views and designs that don’t exist in real life, etc. - or is that too much of an “inside joke” to work for a meetup card?

I’d pass on that. What if not everyone has a stamp? I love having an image that reflects the place or occasion of the meetup. And please make a designated line on the back for a “From____”. So many meetup cards are crowded with stamps/signatures and it’s impossible to tell who sent it.

It’s OK if everyone doesn’t have a stamp. You can sign your name, initials, etc. Most people end up getting a stamp eventually once they experience the pain of hand-signing hundreds of postcards in a sitting. 
And I agree re: having a place to put the “from” !

@kimakoi - I don’t think it would be too much of an inside joke! You’d just have to pick one with very noticeable AI mistakes. The four city designs that you’ve posted look flawless at first glance to me ha.
Or maybe say that the image was generated with AI on the card back?

I like the first and third images, but they don’t imply AI to me since human artists rearrange things to make a pleasing image. It’s just artistic license.

No. I’d rather have the AI. We are getting close! The printers might be too busy to print the cards if we wait longer. Just saying.
