[Jimmy] heyyyyyyy ... so this thing is going to be a thing ... and the first day, june 7th, theres a silkscreening station available for you to get a silkscreen with a silkscreen ... its the overly complex eps logo with the pigeon on it as seen in the upper-left corner of the stampsfromelsewhere.com website ... its about 13 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches high ... the ink will be a solid gold, so bring dark/black fabric ... it looks good, you could do like a black t-shirt ... wait until the third of may if youre going to buy something, there might be some corrections/additions sent out but i think i got everything ... oh, its better if you come early in the proceedings for this ... [Kaidan] Thank you, Jimmy. Silkscreening will only take place on the first day, Saturday June 7th. Side Hatches. The Wanderers Union is a long-distance wandering club.

Elsewhere Philatelic Society Mailing List #1.1.1
================================================
Hello this is Kaidan Tansu Jr. There is an
Elsewhere Philatelic Society event happening
in Oakland beginning this Saturday. It is
at the Naming Gallery (naminggallery.com),
which is located at 335 15th Street. The
gallery will be showing the Elsewhere Philatelic
Society's various creations during these times:
Saturday June 7th - 11am to 11pm
Sunday June 8th - 11am to 4pm
Wednesday June 11th - 11am to 6pm
Closing reception: Wed June 11th
6:03pm-8:30pm at least,
perhaps longer.
Please no earlybirds.
As mentioned before, on Saturday there will be
gold EPS logo silkscreening starting at noon and
on the hour. Bring a shirt or paper or something
else flat and big enough to accommodate the
circular seal (13 1/2" x 14"). Black works well.
Bring your shiny thing of great import. If you
do not know what that is, you probably do not
have one. The nook will tell you more, once
it is up (which should be rather soon).
Bring a quarter ($0.25). There is a quarter
disposal receptacle on display at the gallery.
If you have a cellular telephone, make sure that it
is fully charged. If you have headphones, that
would also be beneficial.
There is a new mailing list that members can join
by sending the text "subscribe" to
[see contact page]
This list is for members to be able to confer away
from prying eyes, amongst themselves. It will entirely
consist of EPS member conversation. When you join,
please introduce yourself to the list at large.
Speaking of prying eyes, there is information below
on how best to keep tabs on the Elsewhere Numismatic
Society. It is a thing all EPS members do.

2014 June 6, 7, 12. Three day gallery show.
2014 June 6. Berkeley Mail Carrier Trainee Course begins.
2014 June 12.
================================================ Elsewhere Philatelic Society Mailing List #1.1.2 ================================================ Hello this is Kaidan Tansu Jr. The Naming Gallery event was successful. There are photos of the event available at the nook. For those of you who were unable to make it to the event, the event also featured a pointer to the starting point of the continuation of the EPS member mail carrier training odyssey. This selection is available to anyone, but it suggested that non-members should start by becoming EPS members first to get a feel for the ebbs and flows of these sorts of non-standard situations. If this is the case, please visit the website stampsfromelsewhere.com for more information. To find the starting point to continue mail carrier training, please visit The Escapist at 3090 Claremont Avenue in Berkeley and look for the EPS offering. It is yellow, in a clear plastic bag. It is [correction] two dollars.

================================================ Elsewhere Philatelic Society Mailing List #1.1.3 ================================================ Hello this is Kaidan Tansu Jr. You may be familiar with our recent spate of network squirrel attacks which pulled various EPS nodules out of the electric stream for awhile. Unfortunately some bits of the EPS database are now corrupt; if you have a passport, please email the passport number which is located on the inside front cover. Thank you. The Berkeley mail carrier training sessions continue (bring $2.00 to the Escapist at 3090 Claremont in Berkeley; look for long yellow pamphlet in plastic bag). If you have already completed the training session please avoid posting photos/describing locations or documents etc so (A) we can have an equal baseline for all potential mail carrier trainees and (B) to keep nosy agents of other, nefarious societies from sabotaging critical infrastructure. The latter is a very real concern at this juncture. Thank you.
2014 July. The Claremont Hotel is a large hotel complex in Berkeley. It is perched.
2014 July 22. We received a package which contained many items of interest.
A miniature application with miniature stamp.
A fabric with a junior bank robbery in progress.
A thing where something's going on. An exchange of ideas about food.
Most critically: SQUIRREL WITH A 40. I want this on a t-shirt.
A suitable return was fashioned.
2014 July 26. A troubling update from Hawaii, the "Aloha" State.
The squirrel had a 40, this pineapple should have a tropical drink. I also want
those sunglasses. Tight.
Harrowing news. Thank you for the intel.
============ Beach Thing. ============ There is a low-key relaxing beach meet-up scheduled for Saturday August 16th 2014. The location is Bean Hollow State Beach: Pebble Beach. It is South of Half Moon Bay and Pescadero along the Pacific Coast. There is no swimming at this location. The time will be 11am - 4pmish. If you are interested in going, please send an email to mail@starteleweb.com with the subject line: [Beach.]. There is no RSVP system in place, we would just like a rough headcount. This is a casual social event. *Please wear sturdy shoes with a gripping tread*. Suggested items to bring: - Blanket - Picnic lunch (optional: something to share) - Beverages - Beach Accoutrements (toys/frisbees) - Dogs (leash required) Confusingly, there are two exits labelled Bean Hollow State Beach. This is the Northern one, Pebble Beach, which is indicated on the sign just before the exit. The second one is about a mile South. Here is the view coming up on the correct exit (for Pebble Beach). Additionally, the speed limit on Highway 1 in that area is 55mph. It helps to be prepared, the exit is sharp and sudden. Once you park your car, there is a trail to the left (South), a walkable drop-off straight ahead (West) that leads to a large flat concentration of slab rock peppered with tafoni, and stairs leading down to Pebble Beach to the right (North). This is where we will station. If we are lucky the slab rock will also be peppered with various water-bound creatures like crabs, starfish, sea anemone, etc. It depends on the tides and other factors. The San Gregorio General Store is an interesting mercantile that is 0.8 miles East of Highway 1 on CA-84 (La Honda Road). The turn-off is approximately 6.3 miles North of Pebble Beach. Prices will be a little bit higher there. Should there be a change of plans, the new location will be announced on a sign placed in the center of the circular turnaround in the parking lot. Please use the member mailing list to organize ride shares and/or convoys.
2014 August 3. Mailman Ted sent in a postcard from Scotland that was so shiny it was nearly impossible to photograph. Things are shiny in Scotland.
2014 August 11. Mailman Miek made a new application which appears below.
2014 August 22. Jimmy recieved this real-life-pixel artwork from two younger adjunct members of the EPS.
2014 September 26. The Image Of No Vertical Cheese In The Mind Of The Viewer.
2014 September 30. A nice letter from a young philatelist.
