Missed Stamp Meetings

[VonWolfgang]

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.

[Everfalling]

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.

Quote:

I was sworn to secrecy when I received it, but I was given an object in clandestine fashion during the meeting of the Elsewhere Philatelic Society that leads me to believe the numismatologists are either infiltrating our stamp club, or seeking to merge with us.

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?

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.

there's an update on the stamps website which includes a page with the poster i handed out (so if you didn't get one never fear)

http://stampsfromelsewhere.com/objects/objects.html

also the telephone number to call and leave your contact info so you can be sent texts of future ENS movements.

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.

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.

[Everfalling]

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.

[Shady GaGa]

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.

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
