[OccupyCU] local black friday campaigns.

[Stan Waggoner]

Just a comment here, but if you start at 8PM Friday you have missed Black Friday.  It starts at closer to 6AM.
 
Then there is the fact that none of these people have chosen to be on a FREE radio show to promote the event.
 
I think the event is valuable, and should be supported, but their plan seems a little lacking.

I'm not going to be in town or I'd totally be down for this.  I believe the 8 PM time is because that's when they're starting their Black Friday sales, so you should be quite visible at that time.
