Wow, the three of us are neighbors! Genii -- Canada Post isn't tracking it because that's a USPS tracking number, I'm not sure why they linked to CanadaPost in the email. Try your number here: tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_inputMine's in Rochester as well -- well, it was ad midnight, no telling where it is now. You know...neighbors can always meet up and work together..... I agree, it would be great to meet people who are within reasonable distance of the DC area!!! Dare we plan a where and when? I think it would be fun, but I am also fully understanding that for a lot of people their online lives are separate from their real lives. Or, heresy, people who have lives that supercede C&C. Regardless -- I'm not sure where we would set up a meet-up thread in general, maybe Todd can help us with that. In the particular -- I'm in NoVA, but with days in Bethesda and also Downtown, so I don't have a problem meeting anywhere in the Capitol area on a week night. Maybe we should take this offline? |

Sounds good to me! If anybody else is interested, they can always shoot me a message and we can try to plan something for after we've had some time to familiarize ourselves with the next issue.

Hey DC types -- mine/ours hit the hub at Dulles a few hours ago -- bodes well for tomorrow (for me, my local PO is about 7 miles from there), probably bodes well for you as well? I'm thinking of laying off the forums/groups/chats/messages/whatevers for a week or so. They're great puzzles to solve in a group, but starting in right off the bat with whatever first impressions/solutions people come up with ends up being a hive mind, ykwim? We should do a meet up in DC - I'm visiting from Canada July 29 to aug 4 |

USPS says it will be delivered ~ 06/10. We shall see. Left Coast is a long way from Niagara Falls...

Just a quick heads up, mine was in my mailbox when I got home from work yesterday. Lots of fun stuff in this package!

I'm not sure where we would set up a meet-up thread in general, maybe Todd can help us with that. If you're contemplating a public meet-up, by all means start a thread for that. The General section would not be inappropriate. In fact there's already at least one meet-up thread there already. If you're looking for more of a private thing, I'm fairly sure you can PM a group here. Or there's always email. |

Mine arrived today. STUFFED full of amazing things this time around, and perhaps more thematically linked than any previous curios.

Has anyone in Canada received theirs? it seems that shipping within Canada takes longer than shipping to the USA. :-(

Mine just showed up! A hard cardboard shipping envelope, 8.5 x 11 or so, but printed in full color to look like a crumpled manila shipping envelope tied with string. Now to open it.  And, as has been mentioned, it has noticeably more extra ephemera inside. The furniture tag has some very funny ingredients. |

I unpacked mine tonight. I was going to post some thoughts on the artifacts, but even with spoiler tags, I didn't know if it was too soon. What say you all? Hold off or geek out?

Personally, I am waiting until I'm certain that everyone has received their copies. But that being said the choice is yours to post and theirs to look. |

I think it might be a good idea to wait, waiting till' everyone has the ability to dive right in and start talking it out . Also, another solution might be heading over to the C&C Chat room and talk with others there? I want to say that the chat room has been used as a place to discuss the volumes openly with others right then and there. (Definitely excited to crack into this one when I get home from work) |

This is only my second issue, but there are WAY more curios in the package than last time. Can some who has had it longer please say if which level of curios is typical, because if it's like this shipment, its pretty awesome.
