Hi Dada,
I can't make the demonstration today because of the hours. Are there going be more demonstrations this weekend? If there are going to be some this weekend all 5 of us and possibly more can come down and I can even make some signs. Do you use poster board paper to make the signs?
Would there maybe be a larger turn out of demonstrators on the weekend?
Sorry for all the questions. :)
Poster board works. We usually use the more rigid foam board.
staples is a good place for poster board. maybe we can do something sunday and tuesday
Dada:
Sorry I couldn't make it out there today, I won't be home until at least 5pm.

I was driving down Elm st. around 330 and saw Dada and someone else holding signs!
I honked and my co-worker waved.
VERY cool!
i've posted a report to one of the other big ed brown threads
As for signs,
I briefly suggested to Dave that you might want to either cut out handles on the board, like on cardboard boxes, or attach shield-style handles such as large cabinet drawer-pulls, so that it's easier to hold the signs, especially in the wind, for hours and hours and hours.
How does the price of 1/8" plywood compare to foam-core? I would imagine that due to it's durability, the plywood would be the most cost-effective over the long term - and we do plan on doing this over the LONG term.
Plywood signs could also be cut into sections and hinged, and then rigidified once unfolded with a cross-bar or some other system. This would allow the signs to be folded up for transport, or slightly folded to stand up on a table like the presentation boards people use for conferences and job fairs.
We also discussed making some "sandwich boards" - which are great because you can have all sorts of stuff hanging off of those - dispensers for flyers, containers for holding pens, buttons, hats, etc. I'll have to design something nice that would fold up into a box with a handle for some of our larger public demonstrations.
i'm ready to wear signs like this but haven't gotten around to making one
I like light signs. My shoulders ache after holding up a sign for a couple of hours. Wood is a little heavier.
