Special meeting for out of town Billionaires and other folks joining the Billionaires for the first time.

We would like new Billionaires to be as comfortable as possible while practicing, so press coverage politely declined. Informal attire, please.

Billionaire Croquet Party
10am, Central Park, SE area of the Great Lawn (View Map)
500,000 anti-Bush protesters will be barred from Central Park so that we can play croquet. Part of our “Keep off the Grass” campaign to privatize Central Park. Bring your croquet sets, badminton sets, and other uppercrust lawn games. Billionaires should not gather in groups of larger than 20, as it would be awfully out of character to get arrested!
Million Billionaire March
Noon, Outside front of Plaza Hotel (59th & 5th)
Billionaires for Bush from all across America — from Beverly Hills to Grosse Pointe to Wall Street — will converge on the streets of New York for a massive “Million Billionaire March” to celebrate President Bush’s favoritism towards the corporate elite. With a combined net worth of over $1,000,000,000,000,000, join the Million Billionaire March as we overwhelm UFPJ's tiny 250,000 person march. Limo and marching band to accompany; formal attire required.
Sign up today and pledge your support.
Billionaires Buy Broadway
Hell's Kitchen Park (on 10th Ave @ 47th), 4:15pm
The Billionaires for Bush will welcome Republican delegates to New York’s theater district for their first night on the town and exterminate the Mouse Bloc. We will assemble outside Hell's Kitchen Park and then split up and march to each theatre.

Billionaires for Bush Workshop
10-11am and 11am-12pm, 45 Bleecker, corner of Lafayette
How can humorous approaches like the Billionaires for Bush help progressives reach swing voters in 2004? How can we creatively intevene—in the media and in the streets—to have an impact in the battleground states where this election will be won or lost? How can we design our campaigns to welcome open-ended participation while staying "on message?" We will take on these questions with the help of a multi-media presentation showcasing the Billionaires for Bush and other instructive examples of guerrilla theatre, culture jamming, media pranks, viral campaigns, and creative direct action.
Vigils for Corporate Welfare
Noon, Union Square & 4PM, United Nations
Billionaires for Bush will hold a series of vigils to bear happy witness to the no-bid contracts, tax-abatements, corporate subsidies, and public property give-away’s that the Bush administration has bestowed upon them over the last four years. Billionaires will march between two vigil sites.

Tue, Aug 31 |
Billionaire Flashmobbing
All Day, details announced at last minute (but you can find a tentative schedule here!)
Ruly bands of Billionaires will roam the streets of New York, stopping for three-martini lunches, spontaneous outbursts of ballroom dancing and en-masse shining of shoes.
