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

[xiphias]

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.

I would love to be in on this, but for three small problems:

1. I have not the proximity to Boston, being in Tennessee.

2. I have not the wardrobe.

3. I have not the liking of tea. Even the smell makes me vaguely nauseated.

However, I think it is a brilliant idea (albeit with complications as noted by adrian_turtle), and I hope that it flies.
