This is totally Aussome! ;-)
I look forward to meeting you, Ross, and the growing international contingent

As far as containers go, this swap thing is turning into a logistical
nightmare. Club who have already swapped will always be short stickers from
newer LTCs, and newer LTCs will be shorted stickers from previous swaps.
I am thinking that it might be a good idea to post high rez images of all
LTC’s stickers on the ILTCO website for download. Although this would defeat
the quaintness of actually receiving a container built by another club, it
would make the entire process a lot smoother and eliminate a bunch of
hassles-- costs of shipping containers, transporting 2 dozen containers for
trading, to name a few.
What was done in the past was fine, but I am thinking about the future and
how this idea can be perpetuated and implemented by LTCs whose members can’t
attend Fests, or for various reasons can’t build and ship 2 dozen or so
containers.
Perhaps I am all wet. Does anyone else have any thoughts on the idea?

I like the idea of actually swapping containers. If I just wanted to download
logos and make my own stickers then I could do that already. I always point out
the containers at our shows, and tell how the container actually made the trip
from the club it represents.
