When I left the classroom, sticky-notes in hand, I looked back over my shoulder with Jeff trailing me–he had a huge smile on his face and I knew something big was about to happen.
At first I was a bit skeptical when he suggested that I take off all my clothes, “I feel like you can pull this off!” he mentioned, while I considered the merits of covering the Turlington Potato with stickys…
After tweaking the idea a bit, we decided that we would both be in our underwear only and act as Human Petitions for people to sign their support for the Haiti disaster relief effort; once people started offering donations, we realized we were part of something bigger and chose a charity (Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund) and accepted contributions.
Today, we found ourselves on the front page of the Alligator and resolved to restart the project on this cold, rainy Thursday and see what we could accomplish. We ended up with a Gainesville Sun reporter in tow as we collected $162 for the relief efforts. It also inspired me to start my own blog on tumblr.com
