Frank Chu!
----- Forwarded message from Don Hurter <don at musicbank.com> -----
[For anyone just tuning in, we're planning to meet up with Frank Chu,
inscrutable protester extraordinaire, and award him a Cacophony Society
Certificate of Appreciation, along with a brand new pair of wing-tip shoes
to replace his battered, ill-fitting footwear. Frank is San Francisco's
modern-day Emperor Norton (of sorts), and has been marching tirelessly and
unpaid for at least three years through Union Square and along Market
Street, trying to get Clinton impeached and 12 unnamed galaxies 'guiltied'
for injustices against him.]
Here's the update from last night's meeting at Tommy's:
- We're setting the date for this ceremony to Sunday, April 15th. (It was
originally planned for this weekend, but we've still got some details to
work out.) The coincidence with this and 'tax day' is unintentional,
although we could put together an impromptu tax protest as a separate event
after Frank's if anyone feels so compelled.
- Josh composed a great speech that he will deliver at the event. He also
bought a pair of quality wing-tips that we'll present to Mr. Chu.
- Little Sister has produced a fancy Certificate of Appreciation (suitable
for framing), which we'll print out after a few minor revisions.
- billySIRR will investigate Frank's migration patterns so we can better
predict when and where to hold the gathering.
- Minister of Propaganda will notify the appropriate press contacts to cover
the event.
- Don (that's me) will continue to pollute your mailboxes with long-winded
updates such as this one.
The tentative gathering spot is near the cablecar turnaround at Market
Street (for maximum visibility) at 2 PM. As the date approaches, we'll
probably arrange some sort of pre-meeting nearby to prepare our act and so
Josh can rehearse his speech. The whole ceremony will probably last no more
than about ten minutes.
Remaining items to work on:
- If anyone has access to a button-making machine, we could produce, wear,
and hand out "Thanks Frank" buttons (white letters on black background,
similar to the stick-on letters that Frank himself uses on his sign.)
- Investigate these web sites devoted to Frank's crusade (plus their links):
http://www.12galaxies.20m.com/
http://www.project1525.com/project1525.html
http://www.whack.org/~skott/guiltied.html
- Contact the people who run the above sites so they can attend as well.
- Show up in your best business attire on the 15th to show your support! We
want to let Frank know that he's not alone in his struggle. Proper dress
emphasizes the point, and it will also set us apart from the disheveled
tourists who show no consideration for their host city.
