Hi all,
I am planning a meetup to occur at the Houston Postcard Show.

Meet-up postcards will be available for you to autograph and send to your friends and yourself.

The show is two days, but the meet-up will be on Saturday.

There will be snacks available but please bring your own drink.

Tell the person at the door you are here for the Postcrossing Meetup. Entry is free for you.

Bring your friends and see what a Postcard Show is all about. email me for more details at ezrestexas@aol.com more information is below. If you wish to receive a postcard from the meetup please email your mailing address to email above or message ezredax on postcrossing.com

I look forward to meeting you there.

What are we going to be doing?

  • Spend the time getting to know our fellow postcrossers
  • Share our postcrossing experiences/stories
  • Postcard swapping
  • Sign designed postcrossing meet-up cards
  • and of course…write as many cards as we can to send out to the world!

What should I bring? (not mandatory, just some suggestions)

  • Pens, markers, stickers, washi tape, decorative stamps etc. (anything you like to write or decorate cards with)
  • list of addresses to send too.
  • Postage stamps (so we can mail as many cards as we can!)
  • Postcards to trade/swap
  • Postcards you would like to send out at this meetup
  • Postcards you want to show off
  • A smartphone/iPad/tablet for connecting to postcrossing.com

The ultimate goal of this meetup is to share our collective joy of postcrossing, to make good, positive, and wholesome connections with another human beings, and to spread that positivity and happiness to our fellow postcrossers across the globe!

So I’m still going to plan on coming. I will be passing by in a small (25’ end to end) RV, so I am hoping I will be able to park it out behind the hotel. I checked the satellite view and saw a bunch of big trucks parked in back and my “little RV” is way smaller than those.
I’m also bringing what I have for “postcard stuff” - it’s not a whole lot since I’m only 5-6 months in to this adventure, but I have some postcards, some stamps and stickers, as well as pens. I’m really hoping to meet other Postcrossing fans and get some tips and ideas, but I’ll contribute best as I can. I am only allowed to have 7 traveling postcards and they all are traveling right now, but maybe I could prepare some so that when I get openings, I can send them to the next people I draw. See you soon!

Hi Wynne,

The parking lot is very large. So you should not have a problem parking your RV.

I look forward for having fun at the meetup,
Demaris

Demaris and Viv,
I had a great time today at my first meet-up. It was so perfect having about the same ratio of “newbies” and “veterans”. And I had fun, got a ton of questions answered, and enjoyed making several new friends. Thank you so much for putting that together!
