Hey all - For all who are interested in the 3 upcoming Tea Party / End The Fed / Bailout Protests later this month and want to make signs are welcome to come over and use our supplies, etc. (because there's no way I can make enough myself).

I'm thinking of using a projector to shine text or whatever on posterboard, which can be traced out with a sharpie, then filled in later with whatever you like, marker, paint, etc.

Since the Sunday @ 2PM time slot seemed to work well last time we'll try that again.

So get some posterboard (like $.50 at walmart) or some foamboard (~$3-8 depending on size)...not *too* big in case it's windy...come with a graphic or slogan and we'll make some signs that will get noticed!

If anyone is interested in or is already making a big banner or two please get in touch with me...that would be a good thing to have.

Hope to see you all!

Hey guys - I just heard about this on Zombo's friday morning radio show on 88.3...Harry Shearer is very talented, and appearing at Pitt for free on Monday!

Plus, we get the benefit of rubbing elbows with the ACLU and can bring up the issue of the MCIA report that unfairly lumps us in with racist militants.

I know I'm going if at all possible, hope to see you folks there!
