My friend Anna, whom I met via Script Frenzy, was one of the first people to ascend to the Plinth in the First Week (July 9th, 2009 from 4 to 5 am). Anna decided to write 12 postcards to document her time on the Plinth.

So the call went out. Anna asked for people to put forward names of people who were deserving of a postcard. Knowing that I am selfless, you are no doubt not shocked that I offered my own name, as it's one of the few things that I own outright.

So with all the names submitted, it only left actually standing on the Plinth for one hour. You can see full hour video here.

I was amazed that I was actually selected for one of the postcards (my brief moment of fame comes @ 47 minutes into the video). I bet you aren't that surprised, given the title of the post. Anna has said that the recipients can do whatever they wish with the postcard, so I have decided to scan it and post it here, where very very few people will read it.

In case you can't read it. It says:

Matt!
They're beeping!
It's amazing. I can't
say words. You're the
last. With love
from the plinth,
Anna x

Because of my selfless and modest nature, I like to believe that even though part of the text reads: You're the last I like to believe that it does actually say: You're the best.

I'm pleased to get the postcard and it takes pride of place on my corkboard at work.

Liked that? Then share the (vegetarian) sausage links:
