Then you saw my arm, windchime and my sign waving over the reporter's head. A closeup of the sign is somewhere in 1-50 of this thread.

All we need to do next time is HAVE ONE HUGE FREEREPUBLIC.COM sign so that we can find everybody.

With all due respect, name tags, bumper sticker etal are a waste of time, energy and money for events like this particular one where a sea of humanity obviates personal identification.

Bumper stickers wouldn't have helped as our parked cars were dispersed over miles of Clearwater streets. You grabbed whatever obscure spot you could find and then walked and walked to the park.

I had my FR bumper sticker on, plus freeper ID on my shirt but this didn't do any good when dealing with the logistics of an elbow-to-elbow crowd of thousands and far-flung isolated cars.

What we need is a FReeper flag or pennant attached to a HIGH stick or post, visible from near or far. Other FR ID's work fine in freeps where there are smaller groups.

We pick up pointers as we go along, and this is one of them. I sure did miss hooking up with other freepers and not being able to have lunch together. Next time, we'll have the problem solved, I'm sure.
