therellbetypos - the World's first crowd sourced twitter project

Dear contributors,
thank you so much for submitting to THERELLBETYPOS on Thursday the 4th of February.

On the whole, the project was a lot more successful than expected. With just over 24 hours of lead time from initial promotion until launch, we (yes I was assisted by some helpers) still managed to gather almost 30 submissions from all parts of the globe.

Due to the care needed to set, proof(!) and print each submission and some technical glitches (who ever heard of a proofing press lower than type high ?), only 7 of the 28 received submissions were printed.

You should already know if your submission was printed, if not, you can see all prints, bad lockup and my awesome posture here

For the 21 submissions awaiting printing, I'm planning a return to the Centrum Frans Masereel to finish off the printing and book binding in early April. I'll be getting back online with things twitterish and webby when it does happen, so check back for an update later in March.

My offer of posting your printed contribution to you is still available, so if you would like a keepsake, please let me know your postal address and I'll package it up and send to you.

I'd like to quickly thank my helpers during this project: Arjan, Clare and Janna van Hasselt (that's right, my girlfriend and her parents) who kept me fed and watered, told me to go back to bed on Friday morning when I woke up exhausted, and took photos and uploaded them as I got my hands inky.

And of course thank you for contributing as well. THEREWERETYPOS, although not too many!

Cheers,
Harley
