For the benefit of the mods (and at the subtle suggestion of one from a little while ago), I'm starting a new thread to discuss projects, ideas, and general chit-chat for the Rock Hall campaign.
This first post will hopefully serve as a first-stop sort of post to catch up on all the immediate, vital info, like current campaign drives and projects, so ideally it will be edited quite frequently (a la the Tourography).
Just continue campaign discussion here like normal. For newbies to the thread, all you need to know right off the bat is below.
The basic facts and current activities:
WHAT
Make the Rock Hall "Weird" is the grassroots fan campaign to get Al inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his career as the genre's most successful satirist.
WHAT TO DO
1. Sign the online petition. For every 500 signatures it receives, a tree will be planted in a part of the world that sorely needs it. Sign it and pass it along to every single person that you know...it couldn't be any simpler!

2. Send a copy of "The Essential 'Weird Al' Yankovic" to specific members of the Rock Hall's nominating committee.
Please request a member to me privately so we can arrange your mailing.

3. Write to the Rock Hall Foundation and urge them to induct Al:
