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.

Bumper stickers are solely a way to publicize FR. All I can say is that I was in the parking lot at the location in lieu of finding somewhere to watch the event from. I found some freepers and hopefully, the url labels from sarasmom I passed out were a hit.

I mentioned the Canteen as I passed out the labels mainly to military families and people with great signs. It was a good event and there will be many others.

We need to find out where one orders a large folding sign or if we have a signmaker amongst us.

A flag with the free republic logo on it is a good idea but someone who knows how to do graphics should design either a FLORIDA or TAMPA BAY LOGO for a sign or flag.

Leni, a FR flag or pennant that flies HIGH and can be seen above a crowd is a great idea. I had hoped to meet other FReepers and walked around several times but just too many people.
