The idea is simple:

Take one AiR flag and send it around the world. Along the way take pictures to show us the world the flag travels in. Each person signs it with their ETS or TS handle. There is even space to transfer personal artwork. We would also like to follow NIN concert tours as much as possible. It's already been in the Birmingham video! (picture)


There are some changes to the process because of the PERFORMANCE 2008 TOUR
See this post for information requirements


How it normally works:

1. Email us with at least your city, state, zip, country and ETS/TS handle.
2. We will confirm you on the waiting list and add you to the Google Map.
3. Prior to the flag being shipped to you, we will send another confirmation email to ensure you are still at the same residence, get a complete mailing address if necessary, and a phone number.
4. The current flag bearer will be given the next address and will pay for shipping. Personal hand offs are encouraged (and will be quite easy if you live in close proximity or are going to the same concert).
5. When you have the flag, take pictures and/or video. Email them back to us along with descriptions, dates, and locations. (If you know about geotagging, then please help out because we geotag as many of the photos as possible.) Provide us with whatever dialog you want in your blog entry. Be as creative as you wish.
6. Your photos, videos, and dialog get posted. Additionally, we incorporate it all into a Google Earth Flag tour.
7. Normally, we'd expect the flag to be ready in about two weeks for the cycle to start over with a new handoff.

YKWYA @ Birmhingham & Wolverhampton

We received the latest batch of photos from YKWYA. He went to the concerts at Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Here's what he sent:

Hey guys I'm BACK! Holy Shit what a great two shows. The only problem was that the security at both shows wouldn't let us hang the flag out. Birmingham let us for the first few minutes then we had to taken it down! Wolverhampton wouldn't let us hang it out at all!!! thanks to Lorena and the other girls (one girl I think was Irish but I didn't catch her name, although we met again at the front in Wolverhampton) for helping me out! and to Reznik and honey_dorian in Birmingham.

Wow! I'm excited. Great to meet Ishtmail and Caramell (two awesome people) I was sad to see them go!

BUT! You can just make the flag out on this video from NIN Official from Birmigham! Its just in front of Aarron. Awesome!



Screen capture:


Sorry for all the exclamation marks guys but wow - I am still excited. The shows were awesome and it was great to meet everyone form ETS in person.


My brother and I were just to the left of the girl with red hair in Wolverhampton so if we had of been able to hang the flag out it would have been an awesome picture from nin.com


Hotel is Resistance: the flag took a beating down the front in Birmingham, trodden on, got wet, so we had to leave it drying in the room while we went to Wolverhampton for the day.


Art Gallery: this was a cool exhibition


Caramell, Ishtmail, Reznik, Me and honey_dorian. And ishtmail keeping 'tambourine resistance' alive!


Some picks we caught from Jeordie! My brother almost got a tambourine! Damn.
