Postal Service in DC on Wednesday???

[Fico]

According to an article in this past Saturdayâ??s New York Times, the United States Postal Service has signed an agreement with indie record
 label Sub Pop granting their band The Postal Service, "a free license to use the name in exchange for working to promote using the mail." All subsequent band releases "will have a notice about the trademark, while the federal Postal Service will sell the band's CD's on its Web site,
 potentially earning a profit. The band may do some television commercials for the post office."  Cool.
 In addition, the group â??-which rarely performs live-- has agreed to play the Postmaster General's annual National Executive Conference on
 Nov. 17 in Washington.

I read about this a lot last week -- it's actually quite cool.  The USPS had filed a cease and desist injunction against the band, but talked with the band and decided they were nice and unthreatening enough to actually help in the USPS' marketing efforts to a younger demographic that's become very reliant on the internet and email rather than mail.  When USPS found out about why The Postal Service has that name (because they sent tapes back and forth in the mail to complete the album), they were quite jazzed.
 
 The concert is at a private conference for several hundred USPS executives.  Quite a trip, eh?

You can't get more hip than this group.
