Sadly, I was consumed by work and missed YET ANOTHER EPS meeting.
Sigh. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that they'll still accept applicants next month.   Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:18 pm |

I think if there /is/ a mole in the EPS that using such an out in the open ploy to get ahold of artifacts would be counterintuitive. I'm sure the legit EPS members would wonder where the artifacts were going if not to them.

So call me paranoid, but the new flyer given to Everfalling and now on the Philatelic Society site seems like an opportune way for these desired items of Nonchalance to fall into the wrong, coin-grabby hands. Thoughts? Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:45 pm |

When mailing our objects, it seems to me that the closer we are to the recipient, the fewer hands they have to pass through and the less likely they will get rejected. I don't know how reliable this P.O. Box locator is, but it says the P.O. Box in question is located at: POTRERO CENTER POST OFFICE 1655 BRYANT ST SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94103 Which is near 16th and Bryant. Whether or not this is correct, it can't be too far off because it isn't far from the zip code 94141. Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:51 am |

After reading that flyer from everfalling...it got me thinking of things that can go thru the mail system in unconventional packaging.
Coconuts for one...those lil bottles for themed invitations. I found this website that talks about experiments done for mailing things: http://improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume6/v6i4/postal-6-4.html there are alot of other sites on mail art and naked mail...

I can do that, but maybe long-term a Dropbox account is better? Since each of us (you especially, Everfalling) seems to be getting different stuff from the EPS, we can start scanning and sharing things.
In the meantime, I'll .zip it up and put it somewhere, but the offer of Dropbox sharin' is still out there. Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 11:41 am |

can you upload it as a zip to megaupload or something and post the contents here? i think it's fine if non EPS members see the contents. Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:21 am |

today was cray-zay! the plot thickens!
the phone number provided in the text (which i got 3 times) works but the number that sent it don't accept calls. or at least sends you to a full mailbox. I'll see if i can upload a non-shakey video of me trying to chase the numismatist on his bike. if it was a speaker and not a camera i wonder what it was playing. Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:18 am |

I called about 20 minutes before you G-Messaged me, and the mailbox was working. Maybe too many people were calling at once when you called? I left Mr. Peppersnatcher a description of my car, and explained that I never lock it, so he can always leave written correspondence for me in my car. I also gave him a phone number, in case he wants to get me stuff that way.
I'm going to put the contents of the memory card we found in the hollowed-out nickel into my Dropbox. Anyone who wants access send an email to me at jackofchanceSPLATgmail.com. peaceoutkbaicul8r Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:17 am |

So I was trying to recall where else coinage came up so far..hobo coins obviously..but wasnt there some "token" or coin in between act II and III?
could that be in any way connected? Just a thought. it was good seeing everyone tonight I look forward to looking over the files we discovered. I also plan on scanning or posting the text from my Numbered postcard...so we can figure out the whole message. it seems like the go end to end Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 11:34 pm |

Re: Witness Account of Numismatic Masked Bicyclist
I don't recall much more than what Larry said above. The device on the bike was indeed playing some sounds as the bicyclist took off. Nice meeting you all! - bao aka Girts Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 10:20 pm |

Witness Account of Numismatic Masked Bicyclist
Hello excellent stamp-lovers. I'm Larry, one of the two folks claiming to be stamp club applicants who was first-on-scene at the Transbay Terminal. Here's what I remember about that. Give it as much credence as you would any eyewitness account.
Girts and I were walking from the trail-end kiosk back to the obelisk. I vaguely think we were across the street from Rincon Center when Girts got an SMS about activity the transbay terminal. We walked over to the transbay terminal. There was a figure in black. He was facing the terminal, kneeling down, kowtowing. I suppose he was kowtowing to his chalk drawing, or perhaps to the Norton plaque. When Girts and I approached, he stepped behind a column. Girts went around one side, I went around the other. Black-clad figure dude was getting onto a bike. He was pretty slow about it, perhaps expecting us to address/accost him in some way. But we didn't really do that. I, for one, was rather unsure what was a legit thing to do, under the circumstances. He moseyed out on his bike and rode away. We noticed a box on the back of his bike. It had lights on the sides and a circle-thingy in back. I thought at first it might be a camera lens, then changed my mind to speaker. I think Girts said he had similar thoughts. If, later on, a video shows up w/two goofballs staring directly at the camera with slackjawed expressions, as if trying to figure out what the circle-y doohickey was, then you know it was a camera. I think Girts said that he heard words coming from the box? Bike dude rode away. Girts and I started to look at the coins. A guy asked for change. I gave him some coins. Maybe he was a coin collector. But he seemed nice. Girts was more careful and only handed over paper money. We were further distracted when someone explained that he was here from Louisiana something something something and wanted to sell us some acid to finance his ride to somewhere else. We said no thanks. In hindsight, perhaps we should have asked for some stamps, but it seemed sketchy. We looked at the coin/chalk stuff on the ground. I picked up the "small change" nickel and put it back pretty much as I found it. Then y'all showed up. Hope that helps! Sorry I wasn't playing closer attention as it happened. Hopefully Girts will speak up w/a clearer account. Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 10:08 pm |

Having done this before, I just flat out listened to it. I caught one difference, and I think I get why. For those at the first one,
So yeah, if you didn't make the first one but downloaded the stamps/mp3s back then, re-download and have the most recent versions with you. For sure. Hey, guys! If you got one of Shady Gaga's X-of-6 postcards, can you make it on Monday? I'll bring mine and we'll make sense of these once and for all! Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2010 4:46 pm |
