So, I got a package from the EPS today, saying thank you for delivering the Talisman, but not condoning my "Postal Flouting" lol oops.

In any case, check out the pictures on my Flickr page:

Items include many many vintage stamps (right on), a very long piece of twine (lol wat), a very small rubber ramen cup, complete with rubber ramen, a rubber square with an ampersand (&) on it, and most awesome of all: EPS stickers. Different colors and everything.

Nice! So that's where those stickers came from... I happened to notice one of them in the stairway at Noisebridge yesterday.

So I'm conducting a test to see if flying origami meets postal regulations. Will keep you all up to date if I hear anything.

bah i'm still in the process of 'procuring' my talisman.


also: more nonchalant stickers in the stairway or just the forewarning one i put there months ago?

also also: the gazebo they're standing next to in the video looks asian... japanese tea garden? i looked all over google maps for that concession stand near a lake but to no avail. i know he was to meet with the ENS in SF so i'm ruling out Oakland or Berkeley based on that but who knows maybe META:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
they filmed it in Oakland or Berkeley after the fact...

I did walk all the way around ...took a print out of the picture and everything to try and match it. Me and another tracked around it.
I was thinking I might go again when concessions is open

I will be so bummed if I mentioned it and missed it and someone else finds it LOL

it looks like you're right



i thought it might be that building because the shutter design is the same. the problem i was having is that i was trying to use google maps street view to look around that building... what i didn't realize until just now is that the view it shows from one side of the building is the same as the view from the other. it doesn't actually have pictures of the concession side of the building. google maps street view fail...

I would be happy to have an expedition to go back again and search. Like I said I went yesterday afternoon.
I figured this was old news or old data...and someone else already did it...
but I was curious...
since this reply...I am interested even more so
I rarely get in on the special stuff clues...so I would love to keep following up on this...I wish I found something yesterday LOL

but if anyone is interested in meeting up for a larger search party I am up for it

I went with a couple friends in search of clues today.
We found the exact spot where the box is sitting at the end of the video, but we found nothing there. We spent a good hour and a half wandering around the lake, but found nothing.

Yeah I didn't think there'd be anything there.. The box was for shady and we already recovered that. Still, good to be sure.

hello, friends.

i am anew. watching for a time, but never touching. but here i am, alast.

i've met a few of you at the last two philatelic meetings, and two of you have been kind enough to send me keen things in the mail. i have a beard. you generally did not, as i recall. have beards.

i also had a car (no beard), and waited atop the stairs of the old mint with a friend/fellow member whilst you kind folk took the bus. we are all in the ENS surveillance video, together in sorts.

and now i am here, to say hello. and offer my services for our cause. i will unfortunately be out of town for the walkabout on the 4th, but i will absolutely be at the SF stamp window on the 15th. i also have tentative proxies circling worldwide (most nonchalantly, i'm assured), to procure courtesy visas for me where they can. i'll certainly report back on this as i hear.

anyhow. that is i, and this is it. seemed like as good a place for introduction as any. and a time, of sorts.
