Special Delivery!


It's been an exciting day at Nes. We were all hard at work when we noticed some strange men with red caps outside the studio carrying a large poster board. We let them in to find that they were delivering a giant postcard to Oliver. At first I was confused and thought this was a normal Icelandic thing to do but as it turns out the three men were artists! One from New york and the other two from Copenhagen. They have been driving around Iceland in a truck delivering giant postcards to people in different towns. The postcards are parodies of real Icelandic tourist spots, some are even a bit raunchy. And the messages on the back although some are written in Icelandic, were pretty funny. The last person they delivered to was a man called "Shrimp Dick." Or at least that is the name they were told to look for. When they found out where he was they realized he was a school teacher. Haha. We chatted with the "postmen" for a bit and then they drove off to make another delivery. What a funny place this is.
