Dear friend, If you live in New York, please visit http://newyorkbigevent.com/ to sign up for some GIANT, extremely FUN, potentially WORLD-FIXING shenanigans on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. (Even if you don't, you can sign up to participate in our "digital fun squad" by clicking the option on your profile. And if you know any New Yorkers or big Facebook hobbyists, please forward this email to them!) Everyone who shows up Monday morning will get a FREE GIFT you can SHOCK your friends with for years. Even just a few minutes Monday morning will help. Sign up now! http://newyorkbigevent.com/ We can't tell you much about what we'll be doing, as the element of surprise here is crucial. But we can tell you that it'll be huge and absurdly fun, and when a hundred world honchos meet the next morning to discuss climate change at the UN, you may have helped set the tone for progress. Then, that evening (Monday, Sept. 21), we'll unwind from the action by dressing up in our very best, er, suits and heading to the global mega-premiere of climate blockbuster The Age of Stupid (http://www.ageofstupid.net/). Like us, they've got no advertising budget, but if enough people see this film, fixing the world could be a bit easier. (LA Times: "Think An Inconvenient Truth, but with a personality"; News of the World: "You won't see a more important film this year.") The premiere will be linked by satellite to 444 cinemas across America and 300 more worldwide, with special guests Kofi Annan, Radiohead's Thom Yorke (singing live), Gillian Anderson, Heather Graham, Moby, James Hansen, Mary Robinson, and the film's star Pete Postlethwaite. As for us, if you make it to your local theatre that day, you'll see us live on the satellite feed. Visit the film's website to buy tickets now! Our own film (http://theyesmenfixtheworld.com/) will be in US theaters starting OCTOBER 7! It'll be at New York's Film Forum Theater for two weeks (Oct. 7-20), and then spread out to 23 cities and counting. Visit our screenings page (http://theyesmenfixtheworld.com/screenings.htm) to see if your town is listed. Check back often for updates! See you soon! The Yes Men and a whole lot of friends p.s. The Sept. 21 events (http://newyorkbigevent.com/ and Age of Stupid premiere) are part of Climate Action Week in New York. A good way to warm up is to join an "international photo opportunity" coordinated by Oxfam on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 20 in Central Park: the Human Countdown.

This is one of my favorite projects each year, working on the hive-mind halloween party. A halloween party is a great venue for experimenting with your interactive/digital/electronic projects... Some of our dorkbot speakers have had installations there, and also this year we'll be doing our Steve: The ROBOT Head interactive laser/music space project. ************* Holy Bajeesus it's our 15th Hive-mind Halloween Party on Sat Oct 31, and we're gearing up for scary, creepy, hive-mind halloween madness. If you like interactive fun, decorating, scaring people, or in any way expressing yourself creatively at parties for a good cause, join our crew! *What*: *Planning/brainstorming meeting* for Hive-Mind Halloween decorating and interactive fun *When:* *Weds, October 7, 7:00pm* *Where*: All City Coffee in Georgetown, 1205 S Vale St *Who: * Anyone who wants to play We'll hit the 91b Hammer for beers afterwards to continue with alcohol-lubricated brainstorming activities. *More about Hive-mind Halloween*: Each year, we throw a really great party, drawing 700-900 super-costumed people, and use the money raised to donate to non-profit cultural arts and education programs for youth (Youngstown, and Room to Read). We already have an amazing evening lined up with 10 great DJs in two dance floors, VJs, 2 bars, interactive projects, and more. BUT, it also needs to look great! This year, the theme is, go figure, "Halloween"! We're thinking oldstyle: graveyards, ghosts, monsters, hell -- but are game for whatever ideas people come up with. We've been doing this for a long time, so have a lot of resources you can leverage! *What the creative crew does: * Our primary goal is to descend upon the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center and transform it into a halloween-themed mega-party space through decorations and interactive projects. It's all about being creative, having a lot fun, all while helping out a great cause. Whether you'd just like to show up and help out, or take on a leadership role in manifesting your own creative ideas, we'd love you to join in on the fun. What's involved? Between now and Oct 31st we'll have a meeting or two, a work party or two, and then we'll decorate Fri and Sat before the party on Oct 30/31. And, if you need more incentive, you'll get in for free. *Your own group project?* If you have a group that'd like to do a collaborative project, even better! Speak fast because some spaces are already claimed. What we really need right now is a *chill space*. If you can't make this meeting, but want to participate, please email me so I can be sure to keep you in the loop.
