Sick of the "Health" Insurance industry VAMPIRES? Well let's get together, have fun, and put a stake in 'em! We've been doing this since May and have been having a lot of fun with it as well as (hopefully) touching hearts and changing minds in the Belly of the Beast, Warner Center, in the West San Fernando Valley, CA. It's today at 5pm!
Here's a map...the meeting place is actually at the corner of Topanga Canyon Blvd. and Califa St., not in the middle of the park. This is the park where every Summer they have free Sunday concerts, Warner Center Park.

We meet at 5 and the rally usually goes on until 6:30 or until we decide we've had enough and repair to TGI Friday's for a more traditional take on Happy Hour.
Why do we call this "Happy Hour" when this is such a grave 'your money or your life' issue? Well, we started from the word go with the idea that this should be fun. That this wouldn't be too serious. That we basically follow how Tom Sawyer convinced his buddies to help him whitewash the fence: convince them that it's FUN, not a chore. I think the Billionaires for Wealthcare have the same idea we do: we just aren't theatre/showbiz folks with talent coming out of every orifice.
Why NOT have fun with this? It's in the spirit of what the California OneCare campaign has been about: they've convinced 40 showbiz folks so far who usually get paid handsomely for their time to donate that time to make video spots for the campaign. The goal is to have 125 more so that a unique new ad can run for 365 days from February 2010 to February 2011.
And since we're doing this the day before All Hallow's Eve, let's have more fun with this if you can stand it! DRESS UP. WEAR COSTUMES. Suggestions: doctors, nurses, patients, (particularly with hospital gowns and protruding plastic butts) zombie victims of murder by spreadsheet, Billionaires for Wealthcare (please join us guys!) and insurance company VAMPIRES. Muahahahaha! SCAAAAARY, Boys and Girls! AWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
(Gotta love Count Floyd)
