Greenies,
Things are looking good for the Green turnout at the Doo-dah parade!
This is a deliberately zany and wacky event, and silliness not
seriousness is encouraged. ("No blood for Oil" signs would backfire at
the Doo-dah, wackiness is encouraged.)
Our suggested theme is "Give Pizza a Chance!
Feel free to improvise on this or do something completely different.
Wear your Green t-shirts if you are not in costume. T-shirts will be on
sale before the parade. See below for info on sign parties.
Lisa Taylor, Florida State baton twirling champion, will be performing
for "Visualize tWIRLED Peace"!
We can flip and toss empty pizza boxes in unison with her twirling!
The Billionaires for Bush will be in attendance!
Suggested chants:
"What do we want?". "Pizza".
"When do we want it?" "Thirty minutes from now"
"No justice, no pizza"
Keep me posted on what you're doing and I'll make sure everyone knows
about it.
