Thxs HO,

Your comment on former Mayor Debbie Cook's observation:

"She further noted that public opinion precedes political will, but media attitude leads public opinion."

Is there any way that ASPO & TOD can help further leverage this 'media attitude' before ASPO-Houston?

Recall my earlier TOD letter writing campaign to get actor George Clooney to attend so that he could help prod media coverage and therefore get more Peakoil Outreach to the huddled masses. Should ASPO get Simmons and Boone Pickens to really press for more airtime not only on CNBC, but the major MSM networks to help promote the upcoming conference?

Should ASPO invite the PETA girls to parade naked outside in protest of Arctic oil exploration, climate change, and to help protect the polar bears and fur seals? Would the MSM coverage help achieve more Peakoil Outreach?

How about free drinks for the reporters only if they promise to do my 'Peakoil Shoutout' when their glass reaches half-empty, but pay double if they forget?

How about if all possible participants slowly rode bicycles, human-pulled rickshaws, and/or horses en mass to the conference--temporarily tying up area traffic to get local TVnews helicopters onscene?

Have a huge and noisy cannon blowtorch flare outside the conference hall that only goes off when another million barrels of crude is forever gone [75 times a day].

Run a Peakoil essay contest at schools: bicycle and wheelbarrow giveaways to elementary students, maybe a Toyota Prius for best high school student paper.

Replicate the Earth with a huge melting pile of ice for youngsters to play in, but black licorice jelly beans hidden in the ice represents oil. The kids can then turn them in for cash, or keep to eat.

We are working on contests relative to opening solar powered transportation network. When the first such network opens at the Mall of America, it should help rally interest.

If anyone is interested in including themes in this, we are open to them.
