Spatial Delivery

My friends are back from Burning Man and are sharing the wonder of a week in the Nevada desert where money buys only coffee and ice and everything else runs on a "gift economy." Black Rock Spatial Delivery is the internal mail service for the week long "camp out." (Black Rock is the closest town to the playa where Burning Man is held.) After training volunteer carriers do their best to deliver mail to various people at their various camps on the concentric circles of the roads. A 6/8 delivery ratio was deemed quite good. A real post office is created at Burning Man each year for mail the real world.

The post card I saw from the delivery service had the motto: Stellar Service to Heavenly Bodies since 1999. There's got to be a blog called Spatial Delivery, right?
