  • To Celebrate the most important day, EVER, we are not just celebrating 11|11, but the 10 days leading up to it! These important doings will commence on 11|1 and end with a grandeur not yet witnessed on planet Earth
    DAY 1
    Tuesday, November 1, 2011
    ** Hail the W(h)ale!**
    Donned in the fabric that unites us, Corduroy Appreciators are encouraged to gather under the life-sized Blue Whale in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life at The American Museum of Natural History for a never-before-experienced-outside-a-Grand-Meeting mass waling. If you are unable to join us due to something like geographical constraints, please find the nearest representation of a whale and do your wailing there at 11:11, AM or PM, wherever you are. Here is a reference to finding whale murals, also known as Whaling Walls by the artist Wyland.
    TIME: 11:11 a.m.
    DAY 2

    ** Membership Drive**
    Recruit Corduroy Appreciators! Approach people you work with, live with or complete strangers on the street who are wearing Corduroy. Extol virtues of membership in our organization. Tell them they will be rich and happy, but… only if they join us. Whatever it takes, just GET them. But, they should be Corduroy likers. Be wary of velvet imposters and intruders! Be very careful. They are very active right now as we approach our finest hour. Good obtainment locations can be stores selling Corduroy! Or 7-11s. non-Members are often confused, lost people who flock to the large 11 like a moth to a flame. Harvest them! Save them.

    Protest That Most Vile of Things….velvet
    Every town has some locale with some dopey and snooty name, like The velvet Lounge. Protest outside this location with placards.

Voice the injustice and discrimination of the velvet rope! HAIL THE WALE!
