Brothers, too!
Theo is going to make us a beautiful doll, and we are going to send her all over the world!!! The doll (she?) is going to start in NZ, and travel from there. There will be a journal included, and probably a blog. Take pictures with her, travel around with her, eat lunch, you know..whatever. Make stuff for her!
We can talk about details here.
You must be a KNOWN VW member to participate.
Good idea oww! It's easy enough to contact the next vegwebber, 'cause... here we are on the internet.
so everyone likes 3 weeks?
I think 3 weeks is kind of a drag. 2!
I like 3 weeks. It would be the max so I'd imagine she'd get mailed off sooner most of the time. I think it's good just in case people get insane busy or something.
dear omnipotent list-maker,
i need to be at least #7 on the list so lil' VW does not arrive while I am in the middle of nowhere.

I like the 3 week idea because the Tampa Bay area has a lot to offer, so I'd like the extra week to travel around St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs....and I just have to get her over to Dinosaur World in Plant City!

We're not making an ordered list, right? The person gets to choose where she goes from the list of names?

Yeah that.

I don't think we've decided. I think I'd be ok with either 2-3 weeks, but I don't see a problem in saying 3 weeks is ok, if you want that long.

i was talkin bout the list and whether it was ordered.

Yeah, I see the best thing being an upper limit of 3 weeks, because some people might have plans to do cool things with her and then have work/study/family/life things come up that prevent them doing those things in the first week or two. But I would think most people would be ready to pass her on within a week or two, so the occasional 3 week stay is not going to hurt.
Who wants to collect the list of names?
Lauren should be in here confusing us with more questions, because the longer we take to sort this out, the longer she gets to keep lil vw! haha

Right?! So, 3 weeks maximum. Just a list with names (not addresses). Can go in random order. Must contact next recipient via VW to get their info.
What is the time frame window to get your name in the list? I can compile the list since I'll be the first person to mail her out.
**If you want in on 'LIL VW'S TRAVEL ADVENTURES'; you must send me a message via VW with your real first AND last name included.
Anything else we're forgetting??

I guess up till you're ready to send her on?
Also, no real biggie if people miss the 'deadline' because anyone who expresses interest here can just get manually added to the list by the person who has lil vw at the time, right?
SENT MY NAME IN
and, vegweb at large: 'cause of traveling to places and things, i can't tote around lil VW from Jan2-Mar2. Sad, I know. But you guys don't want cow poop on her anyway, amirite? right.

Sounds pretty good to me.

who wouldn't love a bit of extra cow poop? huh?
weirdos.
I like the idea of the person with lil VW messaging the next person to get her, then we won't be sending her to people who are way busy or out of town or things.
I AM EXCITED.
May I suggest a general geographic location be included with names? That way she can make the rounds of the US before getting shipped to AU, stay there with everyone before moving on to Europe, etc instead if randomly globetrotting and costing more in postage? Just a thought, or if no one cares about postage, just have at it?
I am in, and whatever you all decide with the details is fine. I am excited thinking about what adventure i am going to take her on!
