Incoming: postcards

My January 2 postcard swap receipts are trickling in; I have four out of ten so far. The one from @MistyLynne has the best backstory: she sent a postcard with a photo by Harvey Finkle, a Philly photographer whose work I've had the pleasure of displaying in the White Dog Cafe twice (coordinating the art there is another one of my jobs).

The results? This spring/summer, we will be heading to Socorro, New Mexico (his dart) and Jackpot, Nevada (my dart). I can't wait!" I bet all kinds of crazy coincidences will happen on that trip.
