Right you are, Jen. I was thinking of what we did last time and didn't look 
closely at the posternation.org suggested date. I think Sunday late 
afternoon/early evening worked well, but Monday may be okay too. Would 
others like to express a preference as to day?

Ideally both should be there. It's a matter of numbers - having enough 
people to pull it off. Gotta get the masses organized ;-). The advantage of 
just being there as Greens is that we could gather interested people's 
names and emails, sell a few buttons and bumper stickers, hand out some 
greens literature, and register some voters. It'd be more fun to be 
billionaires, though, and that counts for a lot. OTOH, we might want to 
save the Billionaires schtick for when Bush, Gore or their veep creeps come 
to town, as they no doubt will. Wouldn't want B4BorG to peak too soon here. 
Or, just have a couple billionaires hanging around the table, raising a 
ruckus and pulling the crowds. So many possibilities, so little time ... .
