Support the first ever
Midburn Post
Trauma Post Office!
We're not just a bunch of
guys with horns - we have a vision!
In May 2015, for 5 days and nights, we'll
establish a real life, formal, desert post office which will take the temporary
city residents on a colorful and crazy journey into the depths of bureaucracy!
At Midburn's Post Trauma Post Office you'll be
able to send letters, postcards and souvenirs from the Playa - indeed, real
letters which will arrive safely anywhere you want outside or inside the Playa!

You'll be able to receive a love letter from
yourself, send singing telegrams, get surprising packages from people you've
never met, pay fines for crimes you didn't commit and get all the information
you never needed to know. And that's not all.
The Post Trauma Post Office will leave its mark
on you. We promise.
So who are we?
For the occasion of the establishment of the
first post office in Midburn 2015, we have come together, women and men, who
know a thing or two about bureaucracy, designing postcards and stamps, words,
letters, poems, and some other stuff - and have established the theme camp: Post
Trauma Post Office .
We are the post-men and women who will forever
change anything and everything you thought about snail mail. And Araq.
Wouldn't you just love to
have a stamp of proof that you were actually at Midburn? A souvenir that'll stay with
you after the dust settles?
We are now working in collaboration with artists
and the Israeli Post Office on the production of a limited edition of unique
stamps, specially designed for Midburn 2015.
This is the kind of stamp you'd want to accompany
the letter you send home. The ultimate souvenir that every Midburner wants to
stick in their stamp collection or leave as an inheritance to their
grandchildren. To maintain the prestige - this stamp edition will be printed
in only 2015 copies. Anyone holding it will literally be holding a piece of
history!

6,000 citizens will be
visiting the city this year and only 1/3 of them will get their grubby paws on these
rare stamps – so why not secure your very own stamp in advance!?!
You got this far and still
don't know what Midburn is?
During May 20-24, 2015 - 6,000 people will be
creating a temporary city in the Negev desert, filling it with content, art,
music and sensational enthusiasm. Theme camps are the heart of the city.
As part of these 6,000 residents, we are excited
to create the theme camp: –"Post Trauma Post Office".
The first ever post office of Midburn is
inviting you to support us in fulfilling our vision!
Cut the bull - how can you
help?
Building an active post office, designed and
packed with content, bureaucratic materials you won't want to dispose of, and a whole lot of other
unforgettable surprises, producing the first edition of Midburn stamps in
thousands of copies, printing thousands of uniquely designed postcards - all of
these things cost quite a bit. Well, actually quite a lot.
You, on the other hand, can
put in a small contribution and help us give the city a great perk.
Your contribution will be used for the design
and construction of the post office decor, designing and printing of stamps,
postcards, additional bureaucratic materials and other surprises which we could
tell you about, but won't, cause we don't want to ruin the surprise, do we?!
The minimum contribution is
only NIS 10, so anyone can take part!
The perks are great and you're more than
welcome to pick them up at our post office.
Not coming to Midburn this
year?
You can support the post office and production of the Midburn stamp even if you
can't make it to Midburn this year and allow us to give the gift of a special
souvenir (or a traumatic experience) to the city's residents.
Loved the idea but aren't
able to support it? No worries! You can share this project and invite your friends to
support.
And don't forget to come visit us at the Post
Trauma Post Office!
