Physical Description
 
The front of the camp will be a facade, similar to the facade of previous
years, with two distinctions:

1) There will be a visual depiction of the mail and post offices through
history from the earliest treatment of mail throughout the world including
Persia, India, China and Rome to modern mail treatment in America and the rest
of the world. There are intricate international systems which allow mail to be
shared with from one person to another in various countries, and this will be
explored as well. Although many people may know of the Postal Service vision
of Benjamin Franklin, others may not be aware of the 1692 grant from King
William and Queen Mary to Thomas Neale "to erect, settle and establish within
the chief parts of their majesties' colonies and plantations in America, an
office or offices for the receiving and dispatching letters and pacquets, and
to receive, send and deliver the same under such rates and sums of money as
the planters shall agree to give". This visual treatment will go on to explore
"hot" issues such as: a) how laws from 1873 censorship affect -- even today --
the dream of free speech in the US postal system b) How the monopoly by the US
government (and other goverments) affect freedoms, c) How the BRCPO
integration with outside postal service parrallels and parodies the
interconnectivity of international systems.

2)In the windows opening directly toward center camp, there will be no
adult-oriented activity, nor extreme ill-tempered treatment by postal workers.
Instead, those adults participants who give consent to "Extreme Postal
Service", will enter through one of the doors on the facade to the interior
lobby of the facade structure. There will be no need to enter this area for
routine postal matters, such as sending or receiving mail on or off playa.
