Grabbing my mail tonight on the way in, I saw that the mailman had stuffed two Time Out New Yorks in my mailbox. Figuring one was a neighbor's (and I was going to do the neighborly thing and leave it by their door), I took a peak at the name and address on the first copy; it was addressed to me at my correct address. I flipped to the second and was taken aback to see that it was addressed to Lindsey Fullard at my address, my apartment, the whole she-bang. I don't get it. Who the fuck is Lindsey Fullard? And why is her mail coming to me? Did someone tell TONY that I changed my first name? And seriously, I don't need two copies of this magazine. I wouldn't need two copies of any magazine, but I find TONY especially unworthy of double delivery. The way it's organized is completely different from the way my brain is organized, and I can never, ever find what I'm looking for. Twice as many trees dying won't make this 'zine any less lame.

According to How Many of Me, there are "1 or fewer" people in the US named Lindsey Fullard. So, we can't even justify it as a mix-up of address in their database -- they just decided you needed an alternate personality, apparently.
Also, according to the same website, there is exactly 1 Victoria Fullard in the US. You're unique!
Cha-ching! I love that I'm one of a kind. :) I still find the whole name swap thing so weird!
We randomly received two Time Outs in our mailbox a few weeks ago (we don't subscribe). The names on the labels were: "Tracy Zook," "Tracy Stameshkin." ???
Todd started receiving two copies of TONY last year, and he figured that the second copy was from a free gift subscription that he never assigned. He called them, and they stopped sending the second one. Weird they'd make up a new name for you, though!
