Welp, since our esteemed president Bob Cappel hasn't posted yet, 
the co-director of Iowa City COOP (aka yours truly) will be happy
to let y'all know how our COOP party went.

We held it at a local restaurant (no charge for the space, cause
people attending bought lots o food).  We showed old episodes, fed
people donuts, took donations, and sold T-shirts and buttons.  

When all was said and done, we had about 100 letters, 100 new COOP
members, 20 T-shirt orders, and a bunch of button orders.  We also
met all the other people in the community who were organizing
petitions and letterwriting campaigns.

In conjunction with this, we ran an all-day promotional campaign 
on the UIowa music station -- lots of mentions, cuts from the
soundtrack and the Cooper tapes, and Peaks trivia.

We'd encourage people to form chapters.  You *can* have an effect,
it isn't hard, and we've had a *lot* of fun.
