Have you found any unusual ways to spread the word about Kerry?

Back when I was supporting Dean, I found a great one. Anytime you order pizza, give the pizza delivery person a NICE fat tip, then hand them a one-page piece of literature about Kerry. They are usually delivering pizzas as a second job and are unhappy about the economy. I live in Dallas and have not had a single negative reaction to the piece of paper. They usually smile, thank me, and/or have something positive to say about voting for Kerry. The large tip doesn't hurt.

I do the same with waiters/waitresses. BIG tip, tiny little Kerry piece of literature (front and back on a small wallet-sized piece of paper). They can throw it away if they want, whatever. You could also just use a Kerry sticker. Again, most waitstaff aren't in a good situation economically.

Another group of people I've found willing to vote for Kerry are apartment dwellers. Most of them want badly to buy a house, but it's hard when you are barely paying the bills as it is. They are also very receptive to the idea of a change in the White House, so I've put Kerry literature in the laundry rooms and mail rooms of apartment complexes around here. I've had people see me do it and most of the are pretty interested to know more (that's when I tell them I'm a deputy voter registrar!).

I convinced my hair stylist to vote for Kerry. This will be her first time to vote and she's in her early 30s.

I've had more grocery store checkers and sackers comment positively on my Kerry buttons.

Anything else guys? I'm running out of ideas and want to do some different things these last 53 (55?) days!
