Aaron I think this is a really cool idea.  Here are some possible
variations that come to mind:

(1) pair-programming/Squeak-tutoring at a cafe/coffee joint
(2) demos at Borders/B&N 
(3) showing parents with young children how to play in Squeak with their
kids
(4) promoting Squeak with Montessori schools, etc.
(5) demoing Squeak at homeschooling events
(6) world-wide SqueakDay

Is Alan's group working on (3), (4) or (5)?

(fantasy :mode 'deslusional "

Would it be great if we could get as many Squeakers as possible to go
into
their community and do some grassroots, guerilla training of the
proletariat in Squeaking?  Perhaps we could storm the corperate and
adecemic worlds, mouse in hand to replace the pitchfork, and take over!
