I'll assume that's code for you like it. Before Bitcoin, I was a master tweeterer, quitting at 18239 tweets.  Grin

Row 15 of section 126 which is the end zone to the right of the Seahawks bench.

We couldn't have gotten much more fortunate:

Watch the entire game, and call in happy. Work will understand.

I guess most people in Europe haven't even heard of this 'Super Bowl'. Told my gf, - she had no clue what it is. Doubt my mum would know either. Cheesy

I wunder why that is.  Grin

I told her it's something like the final match of the UEFA Champions League. The most important American Football game. But I'm not even sure if that's entirely correct, tbh.

Thanks, Bitcoinwunder. You da man! BTW, all, Bitcoinwunder is the one that created the graphic, placing all the design elements in place via my instructions without a hitch. He's a good guy, to boot.

Well I hope you guys are successful, even if this is a nuts idea. I'll be watching as much as I can of the superbowl to see if I can spot it, but it doesn't finish till 3AM over here and I have work in the morning  Cry.

BTW, bringing a nuts idea to fruition is better than letting a brilliant idea sit idle.

A couple other aspects explained pertaining the banner above.

The first line "THE FACE OF SUPER BOWL XLVIII" corresponds with the helmet/mask in the center of the graphic design. Also, "VIRES IN NUMERIS" can easily represent the 11 players of a team on the gridiron at any given time during plays.

Now, who's in charge of embedding a kickoff countdown clock in some subsequent post on this thread?

Mongo want clock, or he become  Cry.

Hope that the banner is out of fabric, so the banner-guy can stuff it under his clothes. Otherwise security might take it away. Which would suck hard.

Epic Banner Waver Guy's credibility is proven. A real bitcoiner. All good!

I only read less than six posts my him and was convinced, not wasting my time to Google-fu.

Due to time, the banner had to made using vinyl. I'm sure two layers, grommeted together, measuring 3' X 4' each, can easily be folded and hidden under several layers of clothing donned by one of our guy's confederates. If not, anybody here have a backup plan?  Undecided

Phinnaeus, we really needs to make sure this get's on twitter if we have a picture of it from far away in the crowd (or better: a video!). Tag @Overstock and hope for a retweet. That would be immense.

But even if that wouldn't happen I can imagine that some reporter picks it up and it get's added in some reports, as a side comment on how the Bitcoin community supports each other or when they talk about how Overstock recently adopted Bitcoin, and how they gained lots of new customers/supporters by doing so: This is a prime example!

500$, everyone. This is how much this man spend on this. We should all support this. (Better late, then never, eh? (Re: 5 threads dedicated to come up with the idea))

Actually, that's Part B of the plan, predicated on what images can be gleaned from the live broadcast.

Tweets with @Overstock and/or #Overstock would only be a part of the follow-up campaign I have instored for this particular endeavor. If all goes according to plan, that'll be that much more oomph I'll have in my court for the Great Flag Race to atop Mount Everest this summer--with or without Dogecoin.

I'm sure our friends over at Let's Talk Bitcoin or Bitcoin Magazine (online version, at least), among others, will pick it up first by Monday morning, whereupon those mainstream entities having RSS feeds from them will use it as fodder for their growing Bitcoin audience.

Hopefully, I won't have to hunt something formal to wear if I'm invited on Good Morning America to sit next to Richard Sherman.

Thanks, bud, for the above, and allowing me to increase my post count, for I'm behind.  Roll Eyes

When the Bitcoiner collects the banner could we have a picture of it before you go to the super bowl?

Good idea, bud! I should've thought about this earlier.  Wink

You DID think about this earlier:
I sent him a PM telling him that this thread's a buzzin' with people asking for a pic of the banner prior to heading out to the field, ergo somebodys please ask for a pic otherwise I may be viewed as a liar.

Hence the wink!

I PM'ed CC first, telling him that people where asking about pics, then came here requesting from bitcoiners to ask such hoping he doesn't connect the timestamps of the PM and posts on this thread. Chalk it up to weird humor, bud.

I just checked with the front desk and the banner is in house waiting to be picked up.  I will post a pic in the next hour or so after I have a chance to go grab it.

That's great, CC! We look forward to seeing the final results for the first time.
