A new Reclaim The Streets movement is underway in San Francisco. Participants hope to replace the usual glut of automobiles near the intersection of Haight and Stanyan Streets with a flood of pirate-attired, partying pedestrians on Valentine's Day 2004 from noon until 9 pm.
The original Reclaim The Streets groups coalesced to form massive London street disruptions in the 1990s, including a 1996 event in which thousands reappopriated a 3/4 mile stretch of highway to form a giant street party.
See details of the San Francisco RTS movement, and plans for the February 14 event, at http://www.rts-sf.org. And spread the word.
(PARANOID WARNING: The RTS-SF Web site includes a mysterious sign-up form that requests your e-mail address. I'm not saying the people behind this site aren't who they claim to be, but it's best to assume the worst -- that spammers and/or John Ashcroft are on the receiving end of that form. Use a junk e-mail account, or just don't register.)
UPDATE 2/14/04: See phonecam shots of the event on cheesebikini cam.

you can download what you want without registering. needless to say, spread the word, and keep a watch on the tribe.net discussion board for upcoming meeting times.

On Saturday at 4PM Eastern, Howard Dean supporters will be standing on street corners holding signs, putting posters in their car windows and handing our flyters that proclaim, "I am Howard Dean's special interest". If you like Dean's message of personal empowerment, print your own, head to a crowded area in town, and join us!
Even if you aren't sure about Dean, and only got your information about him from the TV, try stepping out of the house on Saturday and seeing for yourself what's happening.
I hate to do this... but there isn't good ways to get the word out yet.
FlashMobs are organizing in LA! Show the world we aren't lazy. Go to www.xflashmobs.com for details.
