How's this place work?

If you could take a little mental holiday and go to any imaginary place, where would you go?
And what would you do while you were there?

Send me a postcard, handmade or otherwise, from an imaginary location. It can be a place from a book or a movie or a piece of music, or some other world you made up. On the other side, write and tell me what you've been doing on your vacation from reality.

All postcards to be addressed to:

Soozcat
Wish I Were Here
6219 156th Ave. NE
Redmond, WA 98052
United States

I'll scan a selection of postcards and post them to the blog for all and sundry to enjoy.

Postcard the seventy-fourth: Splashdown!

I've had quite a bit of free time lately, what with there being a pandemic on and all, so I've taken to doing the unthinkable: cleaning off my computer desk. While engaged in the valiant struggle of freeing my desk from the kajillions of papers and other flotsam that have gradually accumulated thereto, I came across a WHOLE STACK of Wish I Were Here postcards mailed to me near the end of 2017. *hangs head* I am a poor custodian of this site indeed.

Well, let's attempt to fix that, shall we?

Once again this postcard wends its way to us from our dear friend Kim, who writes:

"Greetings from Cal Poly!
It is again time for the (un)realistic places project in my Art 182 class. Only 14 students this year -- but they're good ones!

Quote from Jason on seeing this postcard, 'That scenic CALIFORNIA BAY is just the the [sic] thing to escape the manical pursuit of evil purple clouds. They'll never suspect that I'd hide in a bay wearing blue jeans! Even yellow clouds know I have better fashion sense than that!'"

It has literally taken nearly three years, Kim (and Jason of the fantastic fashion sense), but I hope you and your talented students will be pleased to see their work, however belated, featured here in the next few days. Thank you so much for sending your stories from theoretical worlds! They are wondrous, not to mention a great break from the pandemic blues.
