Alias fans unite!
This is what is going on over at Support Alias to let the ABCimians know that we not only want our show back (it is scary that it was pushed back to January) but we want it back better.
Hello Members of SupportALIAS!!!
Well, it's FINALLY that time... Time for your first mission! OPERATION: Dead Drop is a go! Instructions follow, so PLEASE READ!
WAIT...WHAT IS OPERATION: DEAD DROP?
If you don't know already about OP:Dead Drop here is the basic synopsis: Anyone who would like to participate in the OP, please buy/find/scrounge/whatever a brown paper bag or two. We will write on/decorate/etc. these paper bags and then mail them to some key people at ABC as a sign of our support for our beloved show.
WHEN ARE WE DOING THIS?
Monday, June 7th is the day that we would like to have everyone's bags POSTMARKED, in other words, mail your paper bags on June 7th. Even if you live over seas, or in Canada, etc. We will NEVER be able to get the paper bags to arrive on the same day, so we'll settle for them being postmarked on the same day. Besides, it'll be great for them to get them for 1-2 weeks.
BAG DECORATION
As far as the decoration of the paper bags is concerned... they're supposed to be individual, so decorate it as you please. Include what you'd like, go as far out there as you'd like, or as simple as you'd like.
Here are the recommended inclusions:
1- Please put SupportALIAS.com somewhere on the bag
2- The phrase "OPERATION: Dead Drop"
3- The phrase: "Our Loyalties Aren't Flexible. We love ALIAS. End of Story."
4- Include your name, state and age so they are aware of the demographics.
Other things you might want to include:
1- A SupportALIAS business card with your info/pic on it (check the Develop Plans forum on the website!)
2- The Rambaldi eye
3- At least ONE reason why you love ALIAS (if you'd like to combine the 47 Reasons, go on ahead )... but try to put a main one on the bag, as who knows if our long lists will get read.
4- Photos, lists, or proofs-of-purchase of any ALIAS items you may own so they know how much we're investing in this show as well.
5- A short and kind note about your love and your concerns for the show
So that's it... but remember, we don't want them all to look identical, so heck, get creative!!!
MAILING INSTRUCTIONS
Whatever you do, DO NOT mail the paper bags without some sort of envelope!!! Most paper bags are extremely flimsy and would get caught in the sorting mechanisms at the Post Office (I tried to print on one with my inkjet printer and learned the hard way that they jam very easily).
The BEST WAY to mail the paper bags would be to enclose them in a document size (about 9x11) manila envelope. Depending on the weight of your paper bag (and what all you include with it) the 1st class USPS fee will be approximately 60 cents (unless you really go overboard). So just throw two stamps on it and you should be okay (but if you're in doubt just use the postage scale at your local post office to double check).
TO WHOM ARE WE MAILING THEM?
Since the goal is to let the big wigs at ABC know that we love ALIAS and that we don't them to forget about it, the big wigs are at the top of our mailing list. If you can only send one paper bag PLEASE SEND IT TO THE HEAD OF ABC: Stephen McPherson. If you'd like to send more (hey, that's your prerogative) then below is a list of additional people you may want to consider. Please note though that everyone's basically go to the same address before you go crazy with the paper bags!
