"FREEPING" in Melbourne!
Oldsmar? Where is it and is there information somewhere about the gathering? Private group or open?
We would support and take a background position but work on the issues that needed improving for the GOE event. Most specifically, getting the media there and paying attention.
So why would 500,000 bikers be interesting... gees.. is like we really have to ask this question? But this is a reality. So how do you get the eye looking at you.. Celebrities.. Zell Miller, Joe Lieberman, General Tommy Franks, Arnold!, Mitch McConnell, Rudy Guiliani, Mitt Romney, Toby Kieth, James Caviezel, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bruce Willis, Gary Sinise.. alot more than you would think. I don't know how many would jump at this under the current conditions but I bet many more than you would initially think.. especially for Rolling Thunder if they knew what this meant.
Its important to highlight Rolling Thunder's message and get these guys on center front stage.
I think since you have someone in Arlington, you qualify for this event.
Might try Jay Leno He rides!
The celebrity thing would be for like a main stage where speeches and music would be playing. Perhaps off of the front of the Lincoln Memorial like during MLK's march on Washington.
Now if we could get a speech like that.. mmmm..
Thanks JVB, I will be watching for more news on this.
BAsic PR. The way you get media coverage is to create an event which will provide interesting photos and controversial soundbites. Then you preview it in press releases. It is no accident that President Bush referred to Dem bill in the house "political theatre." So also is everything Cindy Sheehan does theatre planned and promoted by a PR form. It was the political theatre of Sore Loserman that get me interested in FR.
So, come up with a mantra, and an event that is photogenic.
Your challenge makes me wonder how to overcome the....
"BUT, I am just one person!"
You are not alone.
Bruce Willis, Gary Sinise, Mike Piazza, Sarah Michelle Gellar *drools*
I'm there.
