Subject: Convergance Of The Consumer Herd
FELLOW MASS CONSUMERS:
Black Friday approaches! The biggest shopping day of the year
and the official first day of the Christmas buying frenzy!
Like all of the other sheep who've been released from their
turkey pens, we are coming out to join the great herds of
shoppers rushing to consume the latest & greatest in fashion,
electronics, toys, home furnishings. Rushing to be fleeced by
the gods of commerce & compound interests, we will dress as
sheep in honor of the sociological origin of the great flock.
Join us as we don sheep outfits, grab shopping bags, and
"mock the flock". We will be grazing in the great corral of Union
Square, indolently meandering into the fine pastures of The Gap,
Macyís, Niketown, Saks 5th avenue, FAO Schwartz, SF Shopping
Center, etc.
Initial meeting will be at the Pen - 1PM at the Starbuck's on the
corner of Stockton and Sutter streets, right across from the
Grand Hyatt. There we form 'family' groups and head off to graze
at will. Photo op later in the day on the escalators of SF
Shopping Center.
We meet again at 2:30 at the big statue in the center of Union
Square to begin our grazing.
Finally, when we're done mocking and shopping, we'll hit Tommy
Foley's Irish bar on the corner of Cyril Magnin and O'Farrell for
drinks.
Children, cute single women, and Border Collie's welcome.
----
We have plenty of 3-D sheep masks, and t-shirts are on the way
(at cost).
Anyone who wants to make things easier can just go pick up a
mask at
Costumes On Haight(Haight St, around Pierce). We will be
bringing extras
for last minute arrivals.
Since we now have this plethora of costuming equipment,
please recruit your
friends for this endeavor - as sheep, we feel safer and more
comfortable in larger
groups.
We need more shopping bags! Please bring all your empty
shopping bags
for those who may not have hit Nike-town, Gap, Macy's etc. lately.
Baaa.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
Wandering by lone sea breakers. Sitting by desolate streams.
World losers and world forsakers on whom the pale moon
gleams.
And yet we are the movers and the shakers of the world forever it
seems.
