• FO$$IL FOOL Postering Updates: LA (April Fools Day) & NYC (on 4/17!)

    Hi Everybody,

    First, I’d like to thank everyone who came out postering with us in Los Angeles on April Fool’s Day. With your generous help, we managed to get up over 300 FO$$IL FOOL (Mitch McConnell) posters that night! (Check out photos of some awesome postering handiwork on Instagram, #fossilfool, #robbieconal). Now we aim to do the same with our intrepid co-conspirators in NYC!

    Since the 2012 election, after Mitt Romney’s empty thought bubble burst, I’ve tried my best to be “Mr. Positivity.” Our last street postering was Nelson Mandela—you can’t get more positive than Mandela, right? But I’ve been tracking Mitch McConnell, the senior senator from Kentucky (and Jon Stewart’s pet “turtle,”) for a while now. Mitch became Majority Leader of the Senate on January 3rd, but I’ve been kind of chillin’—you know, giving the “Turtle” some time to make his move.

    Two whole days later Mitch confided that finally, “There’s a glimmer of hope in the economic outlook…” Why? Mitch KNOWS why:  “…the uptick tends to coincide with the expectation of a new Republican Congress!” Yuuuup. That’s genius at work! Albeit, delusional spin genius. A good start, but not, “My Old Kentucky Home” bourbon soaked, barbecue and hot sauced, let’s-fire-up-those-toxic-charcoal-briquettes-and-breathe-deep—good!

    Ahh, but then Obama signed an executive order requiring the states to develop new carbon — “fossil fuel” — emissions standards. Otherwise, the Environmental Protection Agency would have to impose Federal emissions regulations on each State individually. That literally caused Mitch to blow his smoke stack. He fired off a letter to every Governor of every state, encouraging each not to comply with the President’s executive order, essentially urging them to break Federal law! That’s an unprecedented act by a Senate Majority leader.

    Now, that’s what I’m talking about! Mitch finally went all “FO$$IL FOOL” on us… We got this! Please join us on Friday, April 17th from 10PM-11PM, at Joseph Gross Gallery in Chelsea (see address below). We’ll be there with glue, brushes, and plenty of brand new posters for all. Oh, please send me an email and tell me how many will be in your crew! (info@robbieconal.com).

    THANK YOU!
    Robbie
