Does Trashpo need/have to be obviously random and chaotic to qualify as Trashpo proper? For instance, I had an assignment from a mail-art ephemera swapping group to make a postcard using everyday ephemera. It was my first try at doing this and I created this postcard. Could it be considered Trashpo? I'm seeking boundary definitions since the most interesting creative expressions always exist when working within limits and expanding limits.

It is very popular now to have on demand service via apps. people stock up trucks in a small radius area so when people order stuff via phone app, items can be delivered in under 15 min   Walmarth could do really well this way

Seeking help especially from anyone in Europe. What is Trasbo? What is a mennesker bag?

Comment by Cascadia Artpost on August 11, 2015 at 1:27am

I'm certainly glad for that security coverage of the rain punch barrel provided by the DKult Industrial Complex - I was gone for two weeks on Sunshine Coast/Vancouver Island and nobody refilled the barrel in front of the Walmarth Cascadia store - it could very well have turned into a septic situation. One observation from our trip is that Port Hardy could really use DKult Home Delivery to broaden the range of retail options. However, Walmarth Cascadia would have to procure a fleet of double cab full bed 4x4 trucks to gain cultural entrée into that community. Nonetheless, competing with the black bears for dumpster specials in the back of a Port Hardy Walmarth could build a local legend around the DKult Shopper.

a first look at the new and improved PMM (personality modulation machine)  seems to be working perfectly as new initiates are working in silent hive mentality cleaning up the courtyard!

guarding the rain barrel--some people were throwing coins in it thinking it was a wishing well instead of a drinking fountain

Cascadia Artpost's Walmarth Advertising Supplement is already a mail art legend and acknowledged as one of Trashpo's finest moments. If you have not received it in the mail or seen it somewhere online, I have documented the entire piece which is blogged here at IUOMA and also can be found at MinXus-Lynxus. Many thanks to Jack as well as Martha and Diane.
