BRCPO goes trans atlantic

So for no-where (the euro regional in spain) I am setting up a post office. Using last years photos to make post cards and then pre stamping them and allowing people to mail them to home in uk, france, germany, sitzerland, sweeden the states whereever there little heart desires. and mailing them when i return from the cliff edge back to reality (although addmittedly coming from nowhere down to ideallic rural spain is much easuier transition than downtown reno)

what i would like to do would be able to get people to send them to friends playa side too. so you could mail your old theme camp, or friends that chose BM over Nowhere.

However, since nowhere runs from 6-9th july that will be very early to mail them to the BRCPO, wont it?? if i post em a week after that mail from europe to the stes generally is 7-10 days in arriving. so is there any way i could mail em to an adress to be taken to the playa by someone form the post office or if i sent em and they got there before BM would the us postal service hold em.

the second stage of my plan is that since everyone loves gettign mail i am going to canvass peopel on tribe to send a postcard from their home cities to spain and then i will deliver em, it dont matter if people dont know anyone at the event its just nice to get mail right, kinda like write to a prisoner or a soldier overseas kinda shit.

Admittedly this is just a ploy for me to conjure up some groovy post mans outfits, candy raver mailman, nekkid silver mail man, glittermailman, and an excuse to hire my slef that camel i've been promising myself all year long for my delivery service. (does organic camel shit count as moop if you are on farmland)

anyhoo's i look forward to chattin to some of you guys about my plans and getting some advice.

I'vve noticed some negative vibes bout if the post office will be there this year, but seriously guys it is one of the most bueatiful services on the playa and I'm honoured to be carrying the torch this side of the atlantic. Gettting mail from someone who couldnt make it is really touching and such a joyous gift to give.

i woont be playa side this year as i will be in india but i am looking forward to sending all my firends postcards from india to let them know i am thinking of them!

take care

      yeah I'll mail pagoda for the dead letter truck crew and canvas his opinion,

      crazy yeah probably, but then again when your hobies include trekking for a week long slog int he desrt at huge financial cost, not to mention physical and mental draining and you still come back year after year then it would appear crazy makes shit happen.

      crravy is the new black.
