High School Marching Band And Choir Of Thousands To Serenade Vikram Pandit Tomorrow Today

By Bess Levin

Yes, it’s part of the Occupy Wall Street protest but still- his own personal marching band and choir! If I’m Vikram, I’m pretty psyched about this, especially considering all Brian Moynihan is getting are a bunch of paper airplanes.

THEY’VE GOT MAIL!

Thousands of #OccupyWallStreet protesters to barrage bank CEO’s with 6,000 angry letters from the 99%

WHAT: Mass march to deliver 6,000 letters from the 99% to the 1%

WHEN: 1pm, Friday, October 28

WHERE: Meet-up at Bryant Park (6th Ave. & 42nd St.), march to Bank of America headquarters, Morgan Stanley headquarters, Wells Fargo headquarters, Citigroup headquarters, JP Morgan Chase headquarters.

WHO: Foreclosure victims, unemployed New Yorkers, students with debt, Occupy Wall Street protesters, members of Strong Economy for All, UnitedNY, New York Communities for Change, ALIGN, The Yes Men

WHAT: Thousands will march to the headquarters of five major banks to deliver over 6,000 letters to the 1% submitted to occupytheboardroom.org, concluding with a general assembly at which a foreclosure victim from Southeast Queens will read a letter through the people’s mic inviting Jamie Dimon to tour her neighborhood.

VISUALS: Thousands of people trying to throw paper airplane letters up to the top floor of the BofA building, thousands of people delivering a singing telegram to Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit led by a choir and marching band, poster board blowups of letters from the 99%, giant mailbag full of letters from march participants.

Will VP turn this into a Call And Response, with his employees answering from the other side of the barricades? It could be like Grease where the 99% are Travolta and his boys and the singing-back Citi staff are Sandy and the Pink Ladies. The only thing that could make this better is if they finished things off with a barbershop quartet performance. Vikram loves those.

    Thinking paper airplanes will fly 900 ft in the air and then break through thick insulating glass is the NKI.

    lol this idiots dont even realize that 6000 letters is a statisically insignificant spike in pandit's email traffic

    if you really want to get their attention reconsider a marching band and try throwing a ppt together

    So- they're going to march from 42nd St. & 6th Ave. in Manhattan to 100 North Tryon St., Charlotte, NC?

    Was thinking the same damn thing. Of course, most of them probably don't have the cash to make it past NJ with the tolls on 95.

    This is eerily similar to "Lord of the Flies" when Jack organizes the group into hunters…fast forward to the end, the kids are in tears and the adults take over. Didn't these kids learn anything in school?

    They went via Chattanooga and Atlanta, though- although they did cause some good infrastructure renewal along the way.

    I hate it when my wife catches me 'at' the boarder. Come to think of it, the boarder never seems to appreciate it much either.

    Dear Vickula,
    You bastard, you are messing up our plans by just drawing $1 as salary. You are the bottom 1% of us 99% yet top 1% of us 99%. This has made our brains to explode and we curse you for this.
