materials + gift - (chuck & leslie)
I'm thinking it would be interesting to do a sort of chutes and ladders style game on a map. we could then have game pieces as the gift and those game pieces could be different souvenirs from the contributing countries. such as little native toys or candies. I have been paying attention to magazines that distribute dvds or cds with their issues as opposed to magazines that offer a URL to watch movies. There is a higher chance of the magazine being bought if it comes with something physical, especially a dvd that can be added to a collection. The odds of work being viewed, either on a dvd that comes with the magazine or on a URL given in some form seem about the same. The URL will lose out if it doesn't have any physicality to it....
