send to me a postcard, from anywhere...

Ah, Buffalo Tom. One of our favourite artists here at OWS. For those who haven't heard of BT, they're tight. I mean tight. One of those bands who sound like they have played together forever and ever. Full sound, crazy/wonderful lyrics and all over the map with their music.


But I digress.

The title of this blog is courtesy of a Buffalo Tom song called, conveniently, 'Postcard'. I wanted to pay tribute to the source and ensure I wasn't doing on any sort of bad stealing karma thing. My favourite lines in the song are at the very end:

Too easily you choose
My version of the truth
When all I ask of you
Is send me a postcard when you get there
Send to me a postcard from anywhere...

What, you may ask, does a Buffalo Tom song - which you may or may not even know - have anything to do with OWS?

We have a postcard.

A nifty postcard.

And we designed it all by ourselves. Alright, maybe not entirely by ourselves. There are some that need acknowledgement. Like the site that provides some great templates to help me create a snazzy design (http://www.uprinting.com/). And my friends, who always help me put my best foot forward: Darlene, Patti & Jim. Thanks, stumps.

This first run was limited at 50 cards - the coffers of OWS aren't quite flush yet, so we're keeping things on the super low at present. And this is the first proof which is not quite the final product; it's the version before our last minute adjustments to layout and font. But it gives our faithful OWS followers an idea of what the final product looks like.


Now to find the local businesses who will be the lucky recipients of the coveted first OWS postcard campaign. Time to drum up some business to fill up those coffers.

Please, send me a postcard. From anywhere. We love hearing from you!
