Hello DUers,

I've been thinking it doesn't make sense to not have Brussels, the capital of Europe, in the list of participating cities. However, the coverage of OWS over here has been very meager (much less so in Germany - they got 3 cities already, according to http://www.occupytogether.org ) and even though there is a strong buzz it will not be easy.

On top of that, I've got no practical experience organizing - and with facebook following you on every site with a "like" button even when you are logged out, I don't want to use that. I may be paranoid there, but I scrapped my FB account. London has been testing shutting down Twitter in the event of "riots" so...

At this moment in time I'm inclined to just go stand somewhere, take a placard, call myself Occupy Brussels day 1 and tell the invited media that if I've got nobody with me by the time the evening comes, the movement will die. I dream to much I'm afraid.

Any tips would be more than welcome
many thanks in advance
