Tramp Bouquet by Lincøln

The proof:
On December 24th I went for a little hike up to the Hollywood sign.
Hiking on or near the Hollywood sign is frowned upon.
Fuck it, Dax is worth it.
I headed up this path (clearly trespassing):
So I went hiking looking for flowers I could pick to make a lovely Tramp Bouquet for Mr. Tran-Caffee.
A few of the flowers I saw before picking them:
This is as close as I got to the sign. Not because I was afraid of being thrown in jail, but because there were no more flowers growing up any closer to the sign.
So with my Tramp Bouquet all made up and ready to go, I head off for FedEx.
I buy a box from the nice man at FedEx who really didn't understand what I was doing, and he had to call his manager or some head office or something to see if it was alright to ship flowers. He kept asking if they were wet or dry flowers. I assumed dry would be better for shipping, so I said they were dry.
The box I bought (one of the only ones they had left) really wasn't big enough for my bouquet, but I break some of the longer flowers at the bottom and manage to get it in there. I throw a hastily scribbled note (written on the back of a day permit for a gated community in Porter Ranch) in there to explain what in the hell this is so Dax understands a little better when he gets it.
All done and shipped off to freezing cold Chicago (it was 73° in L.A. and 25° in Chicago as this was shipped off).
And here is what Dax will be getting on or before Friday, December 28th (right before the end of the Era):
I hope they're not completely dead and horrible by then. And if they are, I hope he'll understand the good spirit that they were sent.
This task is also another submission to the

As I had to ask for help im a bug's help in signing up for this task.
UPDATE 9-12-08
In late August, when I was staying with Lowteck, I got this message on my answering service:
I called back the next day:
When I got back home after a long arduous road trip I found the package in my room.
I'm sorry Dax. Sorry it never got to you.

As close as I got.
The FedEx I shipped the flowers from.
The incredulous FedEx worker who couldn't believe what I was doing.
My hastily scribbled note thrown in the box.
This was spray painted right in front of the door to the Kinkos/FedEx
I couldn't believe this was there. I'm sending these flowers because of Dax's Revolution. And because of my counter revolution. Which has been more of an evolution than a revolution. So to see this there really was pretty amazing. This whole series of events perpetuated by The Revolutionary, as well as events created by The Villain have really changed me and made MyEvolution possible.
It's done.
Dax will get his Tramp Bouquet on Friday December 28th.

This guy
This guy has nothing to do with the Tramp Bouquet or Dax or SFØ, but I photographed him because he's too great to leave unphotographed. He's walking around like that on Christmas Eve. Awesome.

Why on earth would shipping flowers ever be a problem? Man at FedEx is a lemon.
Usually, shipping flowers out of CA is not such a big deal, but for plant material shipped into CA, they do extensive examinations, sampling, pesticide/fungicide sprays, etc. If you drive into CA, they ask about any plant material when you pass the border. There are some big agricultural pests that they're trying to keep out.
No, that's not it. He's a lemon.
Let's drink his juices!
This is the most amazing update to a task I have ever done.
Holy crapballs.
Told you, we should've drunk their juices.
everyone should complete this task.
