ah...
ELEVATOR SURFING
a world wide messenger phenomena
from the days before Covid
the World Messenger Community has been on the border of EXTINCTION for years
there have been signs of evolution
Messengers are not delivering more than "messages"
now...
"messengers" mix it up with delivering anything that people are paid to deliver
in DC... flower delivery at Urban Stems is the job for the messenger elite
I guess there is a message in the flowers
but... in earlier times... this would not be seen as messenger work
then food delivery...
again... not messenger work
but delivery work
not sure if people are still splitting hairs
as I think people are just stoke to get PAID
but what about ELEVATOR SURFING?
my guess...
with fewer people going into the office due to Covid
there are fewer deliveries to the offices
thus... NO ELEVATOR SURFING
here are some old shots of some DC messengers documenting some Elevator Surfing Experiences...
