Outgoing Mail: September 2020
Here’s some of my outgoing mail from the month. The postcards at the end were creations from an art night at a neighbor’s house.
Pop-Up Ukulele Concert: Send Snail Mail to View
On August 15, I had a pop-up ukulele concert, on a whim.
Impromptu and unpracticed, I hit record and played five songs, one after the other.
I shared the concert here on the blog, and sent it directly to some friends and family. It was only available for a day, to mimic the impermanence of a live performance.
Now, I’ve come up with a way to use this little performance to bring more snail mail into the world.
If you’d like to watch the recording from that afternoon, all you need to do is send a piece of snail mail!
Simply:
- Send a piece of stamped mail through the postal service. (Send anything to anyone!)
- Take a picture of your outgoing envelope (if this is easily accessible to you).
- Send me an email at rebeccarosethering [at] gmail [dot] com to share your outgoing mail, and in return I’ll send you a link to the pop-up concert!
