ok so after processing the day and re-reading the literature we were given I'd say that what we have here is a spin-off. It's not a one-off event like Action or the Eva Memorial was but it's also not specifically part of the Acts.

Since it's monthly and seems to have its own story arc within the games of nonchalance world i'd say what we have is a spin-off concerning the Elsewhere Philatelic Society vs the Elsewhere Numismatic Society and their drama with each other as they look for the now-relocated underground elsewhere library. I suspect we might even get a chance to see the Numismatic society later in the future.

Overall if the posters were any indication these monthly meetings are designed as excuses to meet up with other games of nonchalance players and use up our 'social currency' between major happenings in the game. I suppose we'll see what this involves once we mail those postcards.

here's my album for the day: http://www.flickr.com/photos/everfalling/sets/72157623872075739/

contains the brochure. I'd say beware of spoilers but there's really not much to spoil. just ignore the numbers i wrote down if you wanna go do this on your own.

You would need the philatelic society brochure/application to know what order and where to play the tracks. Also, the stamp window at the end was only open for a short time. However, it might happen again next month. I don't see why it COULDN'T happen again. if it doesn't, maybe a copy of the brochure could be scanned for future intrepid philatelists. If you haven't been to a society meeting, you might want to do that anyway. it was fun.

Sadly, I was unable to attend yesterday due to prior commitments. However, since the stamps were an audio tour (that I haven't listened to yet), is it worth going down and browsing while listening to the audio? Or is that fairly pointless?

Hollar.

Good point. I'd recommend putting an iPhone into "Airplane" mode before hand so that this won't be an issue. Wink

This looks to be an audio tour. Kinda like those mp3 dance parties that imepv everywhere does. If this is the case I would highly reccomend you make a playlist for these files and if possible put them on a regular mp3/cd player and NOT on your phone. The reason being is because at least for iPhones it will courtiously pause the music for you so you can take a call. You do not wanna find yourself behind in all the instructions because of a few stray calls. If you have a headphone splitter and a second pair of headphones bring them just in case someone finds themself unsynched. This is ginna be good :3

UPDATE: Website added - Seven new stamps for portable listening devices added to the website and appears that they are looking for sixty applicants for Monday.

Oh man, this is the first time I've ever actually been a part of the story as it unfolds. I am super excited.

update: the site has been updated with a map of the location, an RSS feed, a twitter feed, and a new PO box in SF (as opposed to the old one in Oakland). even though the post office with the dolphins on it is on Stuart and Mission it seems like we're going to meet initially in an open space along the embarcadero. i guess this'll make it easier to see the group.

Excellent.

Did other LBBoN include stamps in the box? The only stamps I have were used as WSPO postage.
