Mail at 33 1/3 RPM: The Record Etch

Step 3 Stamp it and Send it

I dropped off four of these at the post office yesterday. One (pictured) travelled only inside of San Francisco. Another is going down to Palo Alto, CA. The other two are on their way to Brooklyn.

Since I live with the person who got the San Francisco record I was able to get a picture of it. If I get pics from the others, I'll update with those as well.

Here's hoping.

UPDATE: all the records made the trip in one piece.

Speaking as a USPS letter carrier...um, you are not making any friends at your local post office. [You tip him at Christmas, right?]

[Pippikins]

I tip mine! but that;s because she bring the mail over to the house if she sees we're outside... but the new one is not very nice.

Did the post office kick up a fuss because of the shape and size?

The purpose is that this is a cool post card, of sorts. Cool idea.

You can't see the purpose? It's like a really cool, fun surprising postard!!! Make it a love note! "you spin me right around, baby!", "You add music to my life", "You broke the 'How much my heart can love' record". (Ok, that last one was a stretch, but you get where I'm going with that!). You can send all sorts of things in the mail... a plastic bottle with some sand in it with a scrolled up letter is the ultimate "message in a bottle". If the message of the record is funny enough, you can add a smile to the mail carrier's day! (At least he's not stuck delivering carton's of paper, remember mr. mail carrier... it could aways be worse!!!).
