Would you believe it ? A day to commemorate us Narcoleptics ! How cool is that ? Well, this is taking place on March 18th next, when events are being organised throughout Europe. We really should do something in Ireland - it would be a great opportunity to highlight our existance.
I suspect that we're too late but, I have approached the Festival Organisers here in Dublin, with a view to walking in the St. Patrick's Day parade the previous day. Should we be successful with this approach, we intend to walk wearing night attire. Anybody interested in joining us would be most welcome. The more the merrier - and the bigger the group the more publicity we would draw.
We are also trying to organise a 'sleep-over'. In deference to the weather, this will have to be an indoor event. We are looking at venues at the moment. Anybody with any ideas - or better still, contacts - please let us know.
Needless to say, we probably won't be staying over-night but will be there all day, again in night wear. The 'night wear' can be anything you like - pyjamas, night dress, costume, fancy dress, the more outrageous and funny, the better. We hope to contact the press and media about our event, with a view to getting publicity. We are hoping to have a good crowd of us there all through the day. Maybe we could get a bed - this would not only draw attention to us, but we could use the bed to have our 'naps'.
Anybody with any other ideas, please let us know. Also, if you would like to organise something local to you - please go ahead. If you can walk in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in your area - great ! The whole point is to alert people to the condition and to educate the public.
I have opened a new 'topic' in our Forum for exchanges of ideas and general discussions about the day. So, please get your thinking cap on and post there !
I will keep you informed of any and all developments this end !
Mims.
