Not an April Fool's joke: who's available on April 14th?

On April 14th, the "Tea Party" right-wing movement is going to be holding a rally on Boston Common, and Sarah Palin is rumored to be planning to attend.

kpht has suggested the perfect response.

Hold a tea party.

Let's make this happen. On April 14th, when the Tea Party Bus arrives at Boston Common, let's greet them with people having tea and cookies and little finger sandwiches, beautiful china, and frilly hats. Can we get hundreds of people on the common to drink tea in a deeply civilized and refined manner?

I want this to happen.

Who's with me? Who can take some time on April 14th? Who has access to nice china, good tea, and beautiful clothing and is willing to wear it in a good cause?

The suggestion has been made that we're going to need battery-powered boom boxes playing classical music, but I'd rather have real string quartets there.

Let's make this happen.

If you wanna do it, we'll find a way to make it happen.

I will talk to family about things.

It is within the realm of the possible that I could catch a lift to the T in the morning, and would have to pack enough baby supplies to manage whatever time is in the interim.

I am thinking hard.

Also pondering petits fours.

You can bring almost no disposable diapers, and buy them on arrival, often. They are bulky.

WHich reminds me of a non-sleep-related post I wanted to make to plan_survive.

I need more information about timing, expected duration, where people will be gathering, and so on. I hope you'll make a post somewhere with that information. (I don't have facebook, so if it's there I can't see it.)
