Pirate Mail? I Want Pirate Mail!
So deadletter is coming back to the UC Berkeley, in January of this year. And for those who might remember our last hit on campus, we show up, put our signs everywhere, videotape people wondering _what_ the signs are about, and slowly increase our presence.
Here's links to ucberkely livejournal posts from our last visit:
http://community.livejournal.com/ucberk eley/1170512.html - I'll see if Conceptual (Michelle) can get the photo fixed, or rehosted...
WHO WANTS MAIL?
This time, we'd like to come into the system with a slightly more directed hit. This means that _before we arrive_, we'd like pirate mail to be floating around the school (hand-to-hand mail delivery) to individual people... such as you!
If you post your Pirate Mail address below, we will get some stranger to write you a letter, and then it will be delivered to some random person on campus. And perhaps it will get to you, and perhaps it will not.
WHAT'S A PIRATE MAIL ADDRESS?
A pirate mail address is a description of you in terms of your network connections - who or where can we get mail to, which will then get to you?
Good formats for Pirate Mail addresses...
Name or Nickname
Place you are know or Group you are known by
Department/Major/Area of study (if helpful)
UC Berkeley
what you want someone to write you about
So an example might be...
Johnny Rip
Hacky Sacks outside Proul on Mondays
Studies Biochem
UC Berkeley
write about: awesome leather hacky sacks!
Again - if you post here, we'll have some interesting person in some other city write you a letter, which will be hand-delivered to the campus, and will then have an adventure of its own as it attempts to reach you.
We do NOT want your email address or your mailing address.
