The idea of frightening banks into closing for a day is great for two
reasons: 1. it's funny 2.* it actually effects their bottom line.* What
could give it even more "umph" would be tracking/turning it into some kind
of contest--that also up's the PR potential. Maybe "there's an app for
that" ;)....you know, how long it took for them to close their doors, were
you able to speak to someone/make human contact, what reasons did they
give....A big party/demonstration after we close....100??? doors?????
