I need to snap a picture of it, but the somewhat confusing ads around campus at USF for the gathering advertise 'Day of Silence -- Free Music'.

That's when you just staple your ad right over theirs.

I wonder if people will answer their cell phones.

I had mine off, and had a message recorded that said i would call people back the next day.

Just don't be snobby about it.

I asked a girl a question once last year when they were doing it and I thought she was going to kill me when I asked a second time after she ignored me the first.

Day of Silence at USF included free food and music (?). Can you sense the confrontation that is about the occur?

...and a "Hate Wall" that encouraged people passing by to write ethnic, religious, and sexual slurs they had been called. The wall was torn to shreds by the group later that day in a symbolic gesture of overcoming hate.

I personally like the graphic addition for this one.

"Your too hyper to go further in this company."

...and the personal.

A few students did that in my senior year of highschool, but seemed to be more concerned with causing problems with it then using it as a gesture. They'd stand in front of doors in a group and then get pissed (as much as anyone can without speaking) when people asked them to move. Almost as if they didn't think anyone would pay attention to them if they didn't get up front about it. Cant remember anything happening in years before that, maybe they thought people allowing them to continue without any fuss was ruining their protest?
