Yes, but only because nothing says fuck off and die like sparkly unicorn stickers saying fuck off and die

I think I've narrowed it down to stickers (as opposed to funeral fans or mix CD) Whatcha think? Lame? (Bearing in mind this is a general gift, not one of the more personalized ones I'm bringing for specific people/occasions).

Also, business cards when I met people to stay in touch with. Too MOOPy? Anything in particular I should include on it that's helpful on zee playa?

For cards, you can just make ten or twenty--print out name phone email on a printer, cut down to size and do poor man's lamination (packing tape) on them.

Stickers are fine.

In both cases, they wont automatically become moop. f you pass them out with some awareness of the recipient--that she or he doesn't throw them out or on the ground but accepts the gift, then I think you're fine. If your guilt lets you do some extra mooping, I'm sure dpw wont object.

They will only be given to people who request them (in the case of contact information) or deserve them (stickers = cool people).

I make them from business size to posters and gift them according to the gifts one would like to exchange at bars, foods, sex and drugs.

Or just hand out, drop off at center camp or use them when there's no TP in the pottie

I guess maybe "calling card" would be a more appropiate tite, as it isn't for any business, just people who'd like to contact me after the event...don't want to leave a stack anywhere!

in that case don't put a date on it and you could use it again for next year. People love to collect mementos of the event with dates too. you can place your email & phone so its not too conspicuous.

just a little note CfM

"Fuck Your Day"

Is a time honored playa greeting.

Just our way of saying

Hi

instead of "fuck off and die".

personaly I thought the funeral fans would have been a nice touch.
