Party Time!

Well, I held my first freewayblogger painting party this weekend. While attendance was low, spirits were high and at the end of the day, we had pumped out about 30 signs ready to go up on the Bay Area's roadways. I even came up with a few new signs...

We had a few laughs, talked politics and in general, got to know each other a little bit better and, of course, discussed the age-old question..."Why isn't everybody doing this?" We still don't have a definitive answer for that one.

At the end of the day, as the paint dried on the signs and we had one last beer together, I presented parting gifts to my attendees (much to their surprise)...

Voila!

Direct from the Paris runways, the latest in freewayblogging fashion. Why go out to hang signs in the same old drab jeans and a t-shirt? That look is sooo yesterday. If you're going to go out and educate hundreds of thousands of people, do it with flair! You'll look fabulous strutting your stuff on the overpass in this painfully bright orange vest and it has the added benefit of making you look like the guy taking down the signs rather than the one who's actually putting them up.

When I saw Scarlet's video, I thought to myself, "What that guy needs is a professional looking safety vest."

Use those vests, my freewayblogging friends and stay safe out there. I want to make sure we're all able to attend the next painting party.
