Just send me a PM with your name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number, and I'll add you to the list. Depending on where the portfolios are currently, you may not see it for several months. It generally takes a year or so for each portfolio to make a complete round.
Bruce, I think that's the one you saw at my place. You brought your print to put in. At the time, actually, there was just one portfolio, but after the last round, I split it into two and added everyone on the waiting list, so that both portfolios would have something there for the people at the top of the list and to keep the mailing order reasonable.
Was the last gathering at my place Feb. 2006? Boy, it has been a while. Then there were a few months while we were sorting out the next round for the split, so it got moving in July 2006.
Maybe it's taking a year and a half, even with tighter management of the list than we used to do. There are around 15-20 participants per portfolio, figure each has it for two weeks (some take more than a month, though, and a few can move it along in a week), and a week for mailing (a little less within a single country, but more for the transoceanic hops). I don't suspect another split on the next round, and we've managed to avoid building up a waiting list just by adding new participants to the existing lists, so the turnaround on the next round should be seamless.
You're at the top of the list, so it comes back to you on round 4 (we may just give up on "round" numbers, since the two portfolios will probably move at different rates).
I think JohnZ has it, and then it's off to New Zealand and maybe Israel if I'm not mistaken, and then you're up, so just three people, but a couple of long trips in there.
It occurs to me that what we can do, if Porfolio I is running faster than II is move gbenaim from II to I, since this is his first round, and he doesn't already have a print in either portfolio. When I gets to JD Callow, we'll see where II is and maybe make the shift then.
Okay, JohnZ and ChuckP have confirmed receipt of the portfolios, so we're moving right along.
Of all the Texans participating, who is in Houston or close to Houston, so I can figure out where to put another participant in the order for the next round? Feel free to PM if you would rather keep your location private.
Things are moving right along. ChuckP is ready to ship to JD Callow. JohnZ is shipping to John McCallum. JohnZ should also be acknowledged for purchasing a new case for Portfolio II after accidentally damaging the old one (no harm done to the prints). Thanks JohnZ!
I've moved gbenaim from Portfolio II to Portfolio I, so they'll finish at about the same time, and I've added Markus Albertz to the list for the next round in Portfolio II.
Okay, a lot of people traveling this time of year. gbenaim isn't available to receive the portfolio at the moment, so I've moved Markus Albertz to Portfolio I, if he's ready, and then it can go to gbenaim, or if he's not back yet, it can go back to me, and I'll move gbenaim up in the list for the next round.
