[dc401-l] Next Meeting: Feb 24th - QuahogCon Organizing

[~*Joan Delilah Pepin*~]

Our best bet for lots of coverage may be "bad press".

If a few local talk-shows get a leak that some evil hacker group is  
planning their annual orgy of destruction in Providence- that may  
interest the local "fair and balanced" newsteam to run a scare-story.  
Deliberate confusion with DC would certainly help work up a good lather.

Then we get to retort- local kooks on both sides write op-eds... Media  
Chaos reigns... We get slashdotted... Tickets sell.

Just sayin'
