[Peace-discuss] vigil Monday evening against the Syria war 7pm, Veterans Memorial

[Robert Naiman]

the signup page is here:

I think that press coverage of the vigil is very likely. In addition to
everything else, I expect that we will be joined by at least one Special
Guest who will draw media.

Let me know if you can help organize or bring things. Bringing your own
candles and means to keep them from dripping wax on the sidewalk would be
helpful. Signs also welcome. If you want to print a sign, I provide the
links below.

If this is all the info you need, you can stop reading now.

About pictures:

If you're the type of person who takes pictures and shares them by social
media, please bring a camera, take pictures, and share them on social
media. The requested Twitter hashtag is #DontBombSyria.

About candles:

MoveOn's hosting page says this:

"We'll be asking people to bring their own candles, but as a coordinator
you should always have some extra on hand just in case*.* Hardware stores
often sell "plumber's candles" that work well. Another thing to watch out
for is falling wax. When wax drips onto the ground and dries it can be
slippery and dangerous, and it's generally a good idea to prevent wax from
dripping on the ground. The best solution is to bring your candle in a
lantern or holder because these also protect your candles from blowing out
in the wind. You can find inexpensive candle holders at the drug store, or
you can use some cups or glasses from your house and place small votives or
tea lights in them. If you're using tapered candles a great solution is to
poke a small hole in the center of a cupcake wrapper and slide it over your
candle before you light it--that way the cupcake wrapper will catch the wax
as it drips. You can find cupcake wrappers at your grocery store."

[Note: I failed art class, so help with this last thing would be
particularly appreciated. :) ]
