make a new one on the spot.

>>     7) Bring your cell phone or other camera. Take pictures/video and

>>     me about it; just do it. When you post it, use this hashtag:
>>
>>     #NoWarWithIran
>>
>>     Questions? Ping me back. This is totally open, there is no
>>     assigned program other than what we agree.
