4. Update from Brad:

First, THANK YOU for backing me up when I stuck my neck
out! A week ago there
were 140 people registered. Now it looks like we'll have
right about the 1,200
we're shooting for. There are 933 as I start typing.

MEDIA: Channel 7 is putting up it's own helicopter, KRON is
considering, the
Chronicle is sending at least a ground photographer and has
asked for our aerial
photos, AP has been in the hunt, and others, too. I sent an
email to CNN --
anyone know their phone number?

PEACE: The Park Service -- the VERY GOOD AND KIND AND
SUPPORTIVE people who gave
us a permit -- called me this morning wanting to confirm
that we're not looking
for any confrontation, and I PROMISE YOU (and I promised
them) we are NOT! There
will be many kids there (including mine), some dogs, older
folks, a big mix (the
Gandhi puppet broke and won't be there, darn it!). This is
a PEACEFUL,
DEMOCRATIC gathering. Short, too. No PA, no speeches or
anything like that. When
the choppers leave, it's over. We're all on our own. Have a
nice day at the
beach. If it's decent, I'm going to have a bonfire
somewhere near the "I" --
come say hi. I'll be wearing a baseball cap saying
"Oakland". If you can throw a
log in your trunk, do so please -- beach wood stinks when
burned. TAKE ANY
LITTER WITH YOU!

WEATHER: I finally peeked. Two different weather reports on
the very same screen
on yahoo. One for sun, one for up to a quarter inch of
rain. I'm going with the
first one. This is a GO -- NO MATTER WHAT. There is no
backup day. I just a
moment ago received a call from a friend at the beach --
windy but clear and
beautiful -- kite flying weather.

DRESS: Dress WARMLY. Bring more clothes than you think you
need, bring a HAT and
GLOVES. If it's windy, it can be darned uncomfortable
standing around, lying
around, down there. A TARP or BLANKET to lie on will
probably be a good idea.

BATHROOM: Go before you come to beach if you can. No
porta-potties. Only nearby
restroom is the (very nice) public restroom in the public
lobby beneath the
Beach Chalet restaurant. BE CAREFUL crossing the street!
PLEASE!

WHEN YOU GET THERE: Arrive no later than 10:30, please.
Stand on the sea wall
and look down at the beach. You will see signs at the
"head" of each letter:
"I"... "M"... "P"... etc. Pick your spot. (If you're
trying to meet people, you
might identify a letter as a meetup spot.) Grab a flyer
from one of the "letter
captains" -- it'll have more info. Be ready to lie down in
your spot when the
helicopter(s) arrive -- they're due overhead at 11, and we
need everyone in
place by then. People running across the sand late screw up
the photos. I'll
have a bullhorn -- if I say anything, and if you can hear
me, please listen and
please follow instructions. The guys in our helicopter may
radio down special
requests: flash mirrors (or tinfoil), stand up and wave,
jump up and down... get
more bodies over here, fewer over there, etc., and I'll try
to relay them.

HELP: I'll probably be down there about 8. I think I've got
enough help to cover
things, but I may impress you (not impeach you) into
service if you're there
early.

SMILE -- You may see yourself on the news tomorrow night.

And, again, THANKS!

Seems like I'm forgetting something, but...

See you in a few hours.

;-)
