Fans for Peace at the Today
Show

When the Goos played the Today show in July 2003, the prospect
of getting our peace banners on national TV was just too good
to pass up. But a lot of fans for peace couldn't make it to
the taping in NYC -- so we came up with a way to give everyone
a chance to get on TV, AND make a cool gift for the Goos.
 Over
30 fans sent in their photos, and we printed them out in 3-inch
squares, pieced together in a collage and interspersed with
quotes from fans about how the Goos have inspired them. The
plan was to get right up front near the cameras, and the faces
on the collage on TV. Some of us waited out from 10:00 pm
the night before the show to get a good spot, but we ended
up behind the VIP section -- still, our banner could be seen
several times during the broadcast, and the collage got a
split-second of airtime, too.
 Later
on, at the autograph session after the show, we gave the guys
the collage as a present, signed by everybody who waited out
all night. They loved the presents, and autographed an "International
Fans For Peace" sign we brought as well -- Robby even
added a Japanese flag at the bottom for his wife!
