Alright fans! It's coming close to the last 24 hours. This is the time where every Veronica Fan in the world needs YOU the most. EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE!) needs to make a final push into tomorrow before the shipment. This is truly the last day we have to save this show, as most of tomorrow will be spent putting everything together and making sure we get our shipment out on time. We are fighting a Goliath here, but everyone likes an underdog right?! Regardless of the final result, let's at least make this campaign worthy enough to be proud of! We have a standard to live up to considering the Jericho fans brought their show back! We can't be outdone! If this and Jericho works, this will send a message to the networks that WE ARE TIRED OF THE NETWORKS TELLING US WHAT TO WATCH!
We have to prove to CW that Veronica Mars will get a huge audience this season. For this, I have a new idea. Tell everyone you know about this campaign and about the show. The internet is a powerful thing, let's use it to spread the word! Join the forums & chat rooms, post everywhere, leave messages, send e-mails, do everything!
Today, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time in different Wal-Marts and Targets around Houston collecting whatever scraps of marshmallows and Snickers Almond bars I can find. I feel like interest in the campaign has died down somewhat in the past 24 hours, but you cannot win a race by slowing down towards the finish line! We really need a big surge in interest today!
I'll be picking up the fliers from Kinko's today. I got a copy of one yesterday, and they look great! I printed out different quantities of different fliers based on the number of cases they will be attached to. Here are the pictures we used:

And of course the marshmallow picture I posted already. I'm not sure if you all are aware of this, but we would also like to let you know that we plan on using all of the revenue generated from this site towards the campaign. I believe all of the other sites we are working with are doing this as well.
I should be getting the letter from Nick soon, so I will be posting it for everyone to see. Alright, time to go run around Houston and get some more marshmallows! Let's make this huge! Thanks all!
IMPORTANT REQUEST UPDATE: "Save" in the comment section has just made an important point. It is important for us to find out what kind of building the CW network has. Is it a building to themselves? Does it have a loading dock? How will the pallets be offloaded from the freight truck if there is no loading dock? Can anyone near the CW building find this out for us? The only way we can ship this amount of confectionery at a reasonable cost is through a freight truck. We really cannot ship this much confectionery by UPS or FedEx. I'm asking at least one loyal fan to volunteer to scope out the CW building in Burbank. We need this information fast! Please e-mail me or post here to let us know!

don't worry - the campaign's not slowing down at all. we're all working just as hard as ever.
thanks for all the hard work sachin - we're going to bring a TON more fans to your site in the next 24 hours, so be prepared!!!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Even if the campaign doesn't work out in our favour, we will be forever grateful for your help and support.
I forgot one thing - in one of the forums, someone didn't know how to email you, so I said I'd post this for him: 1. We need to know what kind of offices the CW has, do they have a building all to themselves? or do they share a building with other companies?
2. Do they have loading docks where the shipment will be taken to and dropped off at and if they have loading docks, do they share it with other companies or is it for their use only?
3. How do we want this delivered? My choice would be vans such as the UPS type, because ideally we want to have the candy bars taken from the vans or truck with a 2 wheel dolly and dropped off at the offices. A semi, no matter how long the trailer is will have to use a loading dock to unload unless it has a liftgate and the only trucks that I know of with liftgates are like a furniture truck ranging from maybe 16ft to close to 30ft which would be alright.
4. If we use vans we want to make sure that the candy is not on skids or pallets(or at least very small pallets) so that a 2 wheel dolly can handle it, and that they can fit through the front door. This will have to be coodinated with the foodstore.
5. Do we know what company the foodstore uses for pickups and deliveries or can we have a company of our own choosing pick up and drop off the candy, maybe there's a company out there that would help knowing that they could get publicity out of it if we can get the media there or maybe they could even help get the media there. Whatever company does it needs to provide a time for the drop off.
6. Is there going to be somekind of note with the shipment or anyone for the media to interview from the campaign at the time of delivery.(And my personal feelings is to try to save the old VM and not just say "In any form").
I would like to know if anyone has any answers to these questions?
sorry that was so long - it was from nielsonoutdated in the cw vm lounge
You are making things possible for the fans so please know we are thrilled by this and more of us are finding out and coming to donate to save Veronica.
I just ordered some, too--only $10 worth, sorry--but hopefully it will work. :)
You guys rock for doing this!

What bugs me is that neither of VM's self-proclaimed biggest fans have picked this up: Wrongda and Ausiello. It really would've brought more donators and support!
Hey is anybody buying snickers almonds and marshmallows from their local stores? You could ship it and print out one of the flyer designs to put inside. I'm going to send some marshmallows with the save veronica mars, she's a marshmallow sign
I have to admit, I'm a little bit disappointed by the Snickers thing... But since they're cheap and plentiful, you're going to charge the fans less for each individual bar... Right? Oh yeah, and what about the marshmallows??
Here's another poster suggestion...

But really, thanks so much for the support... Maybe you'll be able to watch it one of these days and get what all this crazy fuss is about?
i dont know if this is any help, but i searched the net to see if i could find pics of their office buildings...this is what i came across
http://www.marsinvestigations.net/look_to_the_skies.php
scroll down till u see the pic of the map. read the paragraph above that, as it explains the plane flying over the UPN building and the future CW building (this happened before UPN made the switch to CW)....so there's pics of 2 different buildings. i just dont know which was for UPN and which is for CW.
...it just hit me. perhaps those arent even the office buildings..lol, maybe people were just taking pics of the plane flying by with the banner. hmmm..
Ausiello did mention it in the podcast but he wasn't very encouraging.
See the June 6 podcast.
We got a small mention on Whitney's blog 'Pop Candy' on USAToday.com!
