The Bone Mountain Jamboree

This commemorative stamp from Sasquatchia has a label to the right

which gives practical details about activities at the Bone Mountain

Jamboree. 'Camping available in the fabulous Gruumbo Grotto Cave

Complex.' Gruumbo Grotto is one of the more spectacular cave systems

of the Ookwook Mountains in the northeast of Sasquatchia. The festival

itself take place at Camp Gruumbo, just outside of Moowoop National

Park.

Rock slides, water spitting are provided for the kids, while amateur

musicians are given opportunities at the Breakfast Club (called the

'Guk' in Sasquatchian). The open mike at the Guk is one of the favorite

features of the festival outside the Main Stage in Sowbug Meadows.

The Music of Sasquatchia

The Bone Mountain Jamboree of 2009 featured the most famous

musical groups of Sasquatchia.

Googi and the Cubs, known especially for their top hit, 'Oomoaooooi,'

was the lead act, a hard one to follow.

The Oooahooph Octet became well known after Oozie's Beauty Parlor

was raided by paparazzi looking for what they thought was Eeeb, a

famous actress, getting her nails done. These paparazzi had connections

in entertainment, and soon the Oooahooph Octet was heard everyday

on Big Foot Radio ZBXK.

Various country bands such as 'The Stone Chippers,' 'The Wuh Wuh

Twins,' and 'Raarh and the Woophs,' were there for the traditionally

minded folk.

'The Bone Trumpets,' and 'Woowooh and Her Sticks' were novelty acts,

more in the jazz format, for progressive listeners.

And the final act was one that the younger crowd came especially to hear:

'The Sasquatchies,' a rock n' roll group with irresistable charm for all ages,

featuring the lovely lead singer, Aaaaoooie-ook, with her famous song,

'Omook Oop Oo Oo Ooop.'

Since this was the 3000th anniversary of the Bone Mountain Jamboree

only the very best of the best in Sasquatchian talent was on hand.

Googi and the Cubs

Googi's famous band began thirty years ago when the Cubs

were just little. They have stayed with their mom as harmony

back up for their music, which is still the rage of Sasquatchia.

Notes on the Empire of Sasquatchia

Philapedalphia is the capital city of Sasquatchia. There are many

outposts of the Sasquatch across the globe, but the highest civilized

society of the Sasquatch is found on the island seen in the map above.

Wug Wug, seen on the stamp above, is the Mayor of Philapedalphia.

Philapedalphia means 'The City of the Love of Feet,' thus roughly

translated from the Greek. The Sasquatch name of the capital is

unpronouncible in English, as vocal tones possible for Big Foot are

not easily rendered in modern linguistic approximations. There is

absolutely no connection between Sasquatchia and Pennsylvania,

except for the huge influx of Dutch American tourism since the

publication of this map. The Pennsylvanians have set up an embassy

on the shores of Eep Bay to accomodate their travelling populace.

The Pneumatic Research Facility near Philapedalphia is the place

where they developed their modern technology used in their postal

delivery: the pneumatic lava tubes used to deliver the mails. These

tubes are empowered by the exhalations of breath from the lungs of

sturdy postal workers.

The Blow Cave is the main Post Office of Sasquatchia. Letters blown

from this site are easily transported to the Red Cave or to the Kave

Korners Postal Facilities in the south of Sasquatchia. Thus far no

mail has been successfully sent to Pennylvania by Pneumatic Delivery.

A contingent of scientists from Pittsburgh is currently negotiating the

concept of a suboceanic pneumatic tube to expedite the international

mails.

SASQUATCHIAN DAILY LIFE

The Great Hairy Ocean is so named by the Sasquatch for the finely

textured seaweed that is found there in abundance. It is harvested

for food along with the copious shell fish of the northern coast. Fuzzy

Waters is the main site of the freshwater fishing industry of  the

empire. Prehistoric gar fish are found there in abundance, one of the

delicacies of Sasquatch cuisine.

Eep Bay is the site of many luxury resorts for retired Big Feet, while

Wookytown and Kootchy City vie for prominence as cultural centers

for Sasquatch youth. Wookytown is not named in traditional Sasquatch

language, but there has been an influence here by DVDs brought into

Sasquatchia by entrepeneurs seeking to establish international trade.

Rock City is the industrial captial of Sasquatchia, where chipped

limestone blocks are exported to Sasquatch marketing centers among

the tribes of the mainland. The Empire of Sasquatchia maintains a

fine fleet of merchant ships that regularly sail the Uk Uk Sea.

The Great Dirty Desert is a favorite site for dust bathing by Big Feet

of all ages, while the snow capped hills of the Ook Wook Mountains

have traditionally been the source for ice for manufacture of that

old fashioned sarsparilla sherbet so loved by all. Boog Sherbet has

the most famous sherbet in Sasquatchia and has outlets all across the

country.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF SASQUATCHIA

Currently the Commonwealth of Sasquatchia is a member nation of

the United Aethernet Nations. And the stamps of Sasquatchia are

considered internationally valid among members of the Amphoran

Postal Union.

The Pneumatic Postal System of Sasquatchia

The mail of Sasquatchia is unique in our modern times as it is based on

delivery of letters and even parcels through pneumatic tubes. These tubes

are not the sort of thing one might find in Western Civilization, but relies

on old fashioned Big Foot ingenuity. The postal clerks of Sasquatchia

use the vast lava tube system that underpins their island home. The larger

tunnels are fine for ease of access to various parts of the country which

serve as postal stations. But the final touches of mail delivery depend on

the exhuberant breath of the clerks who use lung power to force the mail

along those miniature and smooth lava tubes that so conveniently are in

abundance due to the great vulcanism of Sasquatchia's geology.

                    A video by Eric Whollem, 2011

These matters might be not especially believable to many who might read

this post. But most Big Feet who utilize the computer today may find

respite in the fact that at least one site takes them seriously in their efforts

to modernize and yet achieve a measure of respect for their ancient civilization.

ARTISTAMPS FROM GONDWANALAND/ Early Antique Word Processor Print Master Cinderella Stamps by Eric Whollem/ FAUX POSTAGE FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME/ Philatelic Archaeology/ A Preshistoric Micronational Post Office/ CAVE MAIL/ Featuring the story of Gwog, the first Postmaster General of the Continent of Gondwanaland

Prehistoric Stamps From Twentieth Century Philatelic Archaeology

In truth these stamps were first issued in black and white, printed off

an old word processor. They are among my first attempts at stamp

design. The huge pixels are indicative of 1980's state of the art word

processor graphics programs. The reprinting in 2005 incorporated

hand coloring and collage borders of cut paper finished to size. The

final stamps were gummed by hand and perforated with a die cutter.

1999 saw the inception of my artist stamps. I did not get my first

modern computer until 2009, at which point I began my recent

series of digital art imagery, which, of course, includes artistamps,

most of which are currently issued in cybertsamp format.

See a primitive example of my first efforts at stamp design off my

old word processor here on this Riga Stamps website:

A Short History of the Stamps of Doggonia

The early stamps of Doggonia above, featuring the Dogs of Doggonia,

were gummed and hand perforated with a die cutter. They are thus

different than the Cartographic Centennial issue of 2010, which are

techinically 'cyberstamps,' or stamps issued only in cyberspace.

BELOW IS MY FIRST

DOGGONIAN STAMP

VIDEO

                                 ERIC WHOLLEM

Thus Doggonia has had three stamp issues to date. The map of Doggonia

shows Felinia, a neighboring warlike country. Mowmow is the capital of

Felinia. Also appearing on the Map of Doggonia is the Isle of Meese to

the south, across the Straights of Pup. The Isle of Meese is an independent

principality, which has traditionally been a neutral state in the disputes

between Doggonia and Felinia. The main thing currently under dispute is

the name of the war between these nations. The Doggonians call them the

Kat Wars, while the Felinians call it the Dog Fight. The inhabitants of

Felinia have attempted to erect a Caterwall on the boundaries between

these warring nations. But the Dog Soldiers have been able to easily dig

under the wall especially in the sandy soil near Bonebury Bay.

Notes on the Monetary System of Birdland

WITH A CONCISE EXPLANATION OF BIRD ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION

The stamps above are described in terms intelligible to the humans who

currently dominate cyberspace. Those birds from Birdland reading this

will immediately note that the inscriptions written in pence should have

properly designated in chirrups.

The postage due stamps in the above presentation  were correctly described

in Too Wittas, probably because these stamps are more commonly seen on

mail returned by the Birdland Post Office. The stamps of Birdland proper

are seldom seen in the Outer World. The Outer World is considered to be

a Myth by the Birds. Birds cannot imagine an intelligent society that does

not engage in winged flight. Thus that biped reality common to us is the

subject of the fairy tales of the Birds. 

There is little acceptable to the Birdland Postal Administration among the

postal issues of the human world. The stamps of the Universal Postal

Union are not considered valid for postage within Birdland. Incoming mail

is always heavily taxed by the postal tax stamps seen above in the Postage

Due section.

                                          Birdland stamp video.

The Earl of Egg is currently Postmaster General of Birdland. Any nations

seeking postal recognition by the Earl and his Avian Advisory Committee,

are encouraged to email him via the author of this blog. His enclave in

Cheepia off the southern coast of Birdland is inaccessible online. He is

known to be easily bribed by sesame seeds. So postal administrators be

advised. As I am the Postmaster General of the Amphoran Postal Union

I have been entrusted by the Earl of Egg to make this communication to

the Outer World and the post offices of the most remote reaches of

of the continents beyond the Avian Sea.
