   What a lovely idea!  I'm *very* interested in getting this going.  I
have a zillion ideas (having obsessed on this for about a week), can get
PSAs that follow minimal rules to WEFT's PSA person (who I jam with),
and would be DELIGHTED to play them during my shift (Thursday nights
10-midnight).  I'll bet if they're catchy enough, I can get others to
play them too!  I also have a home studio of sorts, and a bunch of sound
effects CDs, and I know how to use 'em.

   I might want to replace 'Coke' with 'sodas on campus', but that's
just me.  =)

   Let's get together - once others reply, you decide where and when.
