brilliant PyCon publicity ideas

I was alarmed to find that many of the attendees at CodeMash didn't know that PyCon 2008 will be in Chicago - right here in our beloved Midwest.

So, as volunteer publicity coordinator, I thought I should brainstorm on more ways to get the word out. Here's what I've come up with so far.

• National "got whitespace?" skywriting campaign
• Spread urban legend about programmer whose kidneys are stolen by organ smugglers when he fails to attend PyCon
• Invite presidential candidates to debate their choice of Python web framework at PyCon
• Post hilarious "DO NOT WANT STATIC MANIFEST TYPING!!1!" pic at icanhascheezburger
• Vote Guido into final round of American Idol
• Bribe fortune cookie factory employee to replace fortunes with "PYCON 2008 CHICAGO IN BED"
• Use laser to engrave giant announcement in the moon's surface
• JEN IN TEARS AFTER ANGELINA'S LIGHTNING TALK
