Will be visiting my daughter at Berkeley from NJ that week, so I'm in! It sounds like a fun way to bring awareness to the masses.

Oh yes, jrt. I agree. We never thought of that in ye olden days. It was just a fun thing to do. Which this sounded like and so resonated---I'm not good in crowds right now, but since I'm going to be with family far away from home---family that is all more or less raised on Whimsy, it seemed like fun to try for!!!

Judith, sizes??? We used to get a hula hoop. No size. Green, blue, red, yellow? Some things have just become too complicated!

Well, good goddess, I just googled buying a few, thinking I could have them sent to my niece in Mpls to be there when I arrive---but there seem to be all kinds of them now and many sizes and 6-12-24-packs and weighted and day-glow and I don't know what! And I didn't find them online at the big stores like Target and Sears, for instance. Any suggestions---adult size, blue, of course and maybe 2 child size???
