I hope it's not too late to get in on this? I've put myself after Julia in the spreadsheet.
Not too late. Ok, let's see if we can get everyone confirmed, especially the first two people on the list.
Consider me confirmed.
Have we decided what we want to do when we get whatever it is we're getting? Play a game? Sign a thing? Take pictures at a local landmark?
I believe the plan is to play a game, then choreograph, perform, and record video of an interpretive dance of the game, convert that recording into punch cards, and send them along with the villain card to the next destination. The package is going to be massive by the time it gets back to St. Louis.
Punch cards? I thought we were doing wax cylinders.
Shipping wax cylinders during the summer? That would never work.
Of course not. Cylinders are for winter, pyramids are for summer.
Have we not goetten a contract to transport the cylinders by refrigerated truck? An oversight, I'm sure.
Mannheim added. Is anyone else missing? (Click a destination to see names in the notes.)
I can confirm I'm still interested! However, I'm away next week. I'll be back the week after.
(So maybe it should go to Indianapolis first, depending on the timing.)
Just confirm it on the list.
I just confirmed myself.
Let's move things forward. More votes where for the Mad Bomber, so he is the villain. However, we still need the first 2 people on the list to confirm before we get started. Once that happens, we can get started.
When you get the card, play a game against him, and post the results. Also, we should have something in the envelope that everyone should sign. Other than that, do you want (within reason). Take a photo, dance with the card, take it for a walk, etc.
I have confirmed for GTG :) Just tell me what to send where when, and it'll go out!
It would be nice if we could just sign the [oversized] card, but I suppose we'll have too many signatures for that. Maybe GtG could be awesome and provide us with a picture to sign. One of the art prints that came with the KS shipments would work, no?
An art print might be too big.
How many people will be signing? It's probably possible to just get a sheet of paper signed by everyone and use that to make a commemorative plaque or whatnot.
It would be awesome to get a photo in each location, so we can have a visual File of Baron Blades World Tour.
We could have a thread for photos with the Baron.

Having the pictures in this topic would be cool too!
An oversized villain card would already have to be mailed in a larger-than-normal (semi-)rigid envelope. Since full-page flat mailers are by far the most common/easily-available of those, an art print should still be OK. A standard envelope would certainly work better for the international post, but we couldn’t use an oversized card that way.
Step one: get your envelope of goodies from your fellow Global Friends!
Step two: play a game against the enclosed Mad Bomber Blade!
Step three: take a picture of you and your friends playing and post it here!
Step four: follow the instructions, fill out the Battle Report, and put it all back in the envelope! (Be sure to put the correct stamp on the back of the envelope, depending on whether you won or lost.)
Step five: tape the envelope closed! (DON'T SEAL THE ENVELOPE WITH THE LICKABLE GLUE! If you do, it won't be easily opened by the next person. The metal closing thing plus a layer of tape is plenty. And the tape is easy to cut off.)
Step six: make sure you have plenty of postage. It'll cost more than the stamp will cover, but not a ton more. You'll have to talk to your friendly local USPS people to make sure you have sufficient postage.
Step seven: mail it to the next person on the list!
Let's send the Mad Baron around the world!
Uh oh! I see Guise!
