[Peace-presence] Pots 'n' Pans in Parade!

[John Hadder]

_Molly Ivins POTS 'N' PANS BRIGADE_


The _Molly Ivins POTS 'N' PANS BRIGADE_ will be marching in Reno's 
Fourth of July Parade this Wednesday at 10:00 am.  If you've ever 
harbored a secret desire to be part of that yearly parade honoring the 
principles on which our great nation was founded, this is your chance.
 
Everybody is invited to come!  Bring a sturdy pot (or pan) and something 
unbreakable to beat with (such as a metal spoon).  The noisier, the 
better!  If you have earplugs, WEAR THEM (this is pretty close to 
mandatory)--if not, we do have a few extra pairs to lend. 
 
Here are the particulars:
 
WHERE:  _Our_ staging area (there are several) is on 6th Street between 
Virginia and Center Streets (think old Dairy Queen).
 
WHEN:  _You MUST be there no later than 9:45am_.  P 'n' P people will be 
there by 9:30.  I have no idea what traffic will be like or what parking 
will be available (check the newspaper?).  The parade starts at 10:00 
and lasts about one hour.
 
WHO:  Non-bangers are needed:  1) to carry the American flag,  2)  to 
hand out business cards that detail the weekly Tuesday event, and  3) to 
push a cart loaded with a large (60" high) 3-sided sign tethered to a 
heavy weight to keep it from sailing off in a brisk wind.  The sign will 
be pushed in a zig-zag pattern in front of the group and _will require 
someone with a lot of energy and stamina_.  Please call Gale at 544-0463.
 
WEAR:  _EAR PLUGS_!  Comfortable shoes.  No flip-flops!  You'll be 
marching for one hour (but please feel free to drop out if your energy 
flags -- forgive the pun).  Red-white-blue (one color or in combination).
 
BRING:  A bottle of _WATER_!!!  (Put it in your pants pocket or tie a 
string around the top and wear ir around your neck.)  Sun-screen.  A 
broad-brimmed hat.  Sun glasses.  (The high temperature on Wednesday is 
predicted to be 101 degrees, so the morning will be in the high 90's.)
 
I hope to see you on Wednesday!
