My sister let me know about the upcoming Stratford Writers Festival, which has a retro website. I particularly like the Contact Us page, which says:

A stamped, self-addressed envelope? I don't think I've heard that phrase since early '90s Blue Peter...How is this easier than just putting the info online? I don't mean to poke fun at people who undoubtedly mean well, it just made me laugh 
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.

Who doesn’t like getting post? But it’s two days before this writer’s festival is due to start and the only way to find out anything about it is to wait four days for a letter to be returned with information that could be put onto a website in five minutes. No point using the post just for the sake of using the post.
