*Dear Fellow Human Banner Participant,*

*THANK you for registering for Saturday's event!* You may not be fully
aware yet, but every single one of you/us makes a huge difference, and
it is never so apparent as when you see the photos!

All event details are viewable at the "Event Details" link at
www.HumanBannerSF.com. When you arrive, please take a flyer from one of
the volunteers you will see.

And please note these few additional items below:

*TARP / BLANKET*

This is a small, last-minute, paranoid request, and (for you veterans)
has not been part of any of our past events: *If you can, please bring a
tarp or blanket or something to lie on for every member of your party.*
Ideally, these would be at least six feet tall and three feet wide --
bright colors show up best. Tan (sand-colored) is the worst. We're
hoping for and expecting a crowd in the 700-800 range or higher, but if
we get something closer to the current number of registrants (499 right
now), we're going to do a bold outline of each letter and leave a
sand-colored stripe in its middle. If that's the case, we'll be
positioning each person rather exactly to achieve maximum "crispness."
Our blankets and tarps will come in very handy in marking out the
borders of the lettering. If we get a big crowd, this request won't make
any difference.

*VOLUNTEERS?*

I could use a few more people to show up early in the morning to help
etch the lettering in the sand. We'll be starting at 7am. If you can
come at that hour, please email me. Also, I'll need volunteers later in
the morning, starting about 10, to serve as "letter captains" (some of
you have done this in the past) and for a variety of other tasks, too.
So, if you can, please.

*BULLHORN?*

I've got a small bullhorn. Anyone have a bigger one they can bring?

*INVITE ANYONE YOU FEEL APPROPRIATE*

The more the merrier--and the more impressive the photos.

And the basic details:
