A sort of SantaCon without the santas.<BR/>But then I thought if Lorne Meyencourt et al found out, it would boost his claim that most homeless are just "weekend homeless", so participants might need to wear a distinguishing armband or something.<BR/>What do you think?<BR/>Send me an e and I'll see who else is interested.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-62357119130928747602007-02-15T02:27:00.000-08:002007-02-15T02:27:00.000-08:00I remember...It was a comment someone made last su...I remember...It was a comment someone made last summer here, after one of the big hotels lost a big convention because of aggressive panhandlers or somesuch. And horrid Lorne whatsisname said they had BMW's at home. And the someone suggested we all turn out as panhandlers so....<BR/><BR/>Lets all rain on Campbell's (or whomever's) party and turn out on the streets in layers of our grubbiest those two weeks in 2010. god knows I can't afford tickets if I wanted to anyway (well maybe hockey is all). And any take we pick up we hand over to the true homeless because they are really going to need it. <BR/><BR/>Can you imagine it. Hundreds and hundreds more "street people" all of a sudden downtown. Day after day.
