Thurn Und Taxis Postal Adventure by Sean Mahan, qwerty uiop

October 29th, 2005 2:39 AM / Location: 37.766168,-122.4267

INSTRUCTIONS: 1: Buy/find/acquire a mailbox of any shape or dimensions. Place the mailbox in a public space with an appropriate address that you invent. Make sure it looks official to ensure its permanence. 2: Receive mail. Extra points if your mailbox is in a remote area, or a vacant lot. The farther it is from a regular, recognized address or street the better. You will be awarded points simply for placing the mailbox in a public space and using it, but the real aim of the task is codification by the postal service itself. If you do not wish to use the US postal service, you may create (or participate in) an alternative postal delivery network that deals only with other players' mailboxes.

This felt too easy. We already had an extra mailbox around. We found a boarded-up house and attached the mailbox using zip ties (those plastic proto-handcuffs). We'll see if it works. Anyone interested can send us mail at: 208 Dolores St., San Francisco CA 94103

fixing the mailbox

checked up on the mailbox today and someone had smashed it pretty hard (possibly with a fist, not sure about that). We had to make repairs, now everything is OK again.

checked on the mailbox again today. it was still there, but no mail yet. might have been too early in the day (or too early in general). will check again tomorrow.

the mailbox has vanished, and with it, our hopes of a truly Free Postal Service.

lost box...

I'm worried about this too. It seems like someone is going to steal the box no matter where you put it. I just got two boxes off of the craigslist free section and I'm going to see what I can do to keep them in a location for longer than a month.
However, I wonder if your boxes were removed by the postal service....
