    I seriously had a Homer Simpson moment at the mailbox when I saw ur postcard (saw it written-side first)... "Who on earth is Ellen?" I thought...and "I dunno anyone from The Netherlands"...But as I read on I could feel the cog-wheels starting to turn :lol::lol: Thanks for the postcard and Happy 2011! :wave:

    QUESTION WAS: If you could go back in time and attend just one PJ gig, which one would it be (location & date) and why?

    Woohoo, the first one has arrived! How cool to see the pic show up here. :)

    Perhaps it's a good idea to add your question in your post as well. This is the one to go with this card:

    edit: I know ... I have terrible handwriting!

    Post edited to include question....didn't think of that :roll: And your handwriting is fine - it's legible at least. I'm a (currently unemployed) teacher so I've seen worse :lol:

    You're welcome!
    If you can find the time (and equipment :)) it would be great if you could post a photo/scan in the thread. If not, that's cool too! Have a good first day of the year!

    upload the picture to photobucket (you'll need to make an account if you don't already have one, easy to do)
    then you can insert it on here by pasting the url or pasting the actual image using the code.

    I just received my postcard, and my wife saw it first and asked me who Ellen was? I wasn't really sure and then saw the postcard and thought about it. Thank you for the pc.

    My question was, before it was called the 10c, during the Vitalogy era it was called something else. What was it called?

    She said she had to look it up, but she got it. Vitalogy Health Club. Thanks again, that was a really cool idea, and I will enjoy the postcard.

    I got the same one in the mail today. Thanks so much!
  • You're all very welcome! It was a lot of fun to do ... and still is! ;)

    So, that is 6 accounted for! I sent out the next batch of about 13 yesterday morning, still quite a few to go, but I should have enough cards to send everyone in this thread! Now it's mainly the later ones and those that will take a little more time to answer ... bear with me! 8-)

    Thanks all for posting the pics!
