aprilstarchildYay, I have two ways of making posts from my phone now, voice posts and text messages. Bwahaha. Fear me.

jenhowell, jameslentz, ourglasslake, and myself, handed out pamphlets outside Al Gore's presentation of An Inconvenient Truth, that gave information about how vegetarianism helps slow global warming.
We gave out 500 pamphlets between the five of us. The theater has 6,500 seats. Not a bad percentage!
We all said different things to ask people to take them. Some worked better than others. I kept saying, "Want to help stop global warming?" and a lot of people would laugh or give me a blank stare and say, "That's why I'm here..." which was funny.
There were a lot of other people giving stuff out--lots of election stuff. People got so loaded down with papers that sometimes I'd hold one out and say, "More paper?" which would make them laugh, but they'd take it! Or you'd have to say, "It's not about the election!" Some of the people handing out voter stuff, I'd come up with my pamphlet and ask if they wanted to trade.
There were several guys handing out Clif bars, of all things.
There was also a small group of Jehovah's Witnesses. They had a few big signs, and a kid with a sandwhich board sign. Poor kid. Someone else was handing out Chick Tracts, apparently. Ew.
Some guy from the Oregonian talked to me, got my name and asked me a few questions. I can't remember what he said his name was. I'm going to check the Metro section tomorrow. ;^)
