Block the Streets with Snow

Let's use the snow to get our message out
Quite the coincidence that we're getting all this snow on such a big day of protest... let's *incorporate* the snow into our plans and make it an ally! Let's use the snow to get our message out. Some ideas:

* Block intersections with snow (when the walk signal comes on, walk across and drop snow in front of cars - it will pile up quickly if a lot of people do it - say downtown).

* Build "Peace Snowpeople" near intersections, or even *in* intersections - for those more daring souls.

Snow brings out the playfulness in people; is there some way we can use it to help break down the barrier between "protesters" and "regular folk" and get some more "regular folk" to join us when they normally wouldn't?

Please add your comments and build upon these ideas.

See you at the Federal Plaza (Adams/Dearborn) tomorrow at 4:30 - I'll be the tall one in red with the annoying children's horn.
