2000 DECLARED `THE YEAR OF THE CHAIR'

CHICAGO, Ill. (Wireless Flash) -- Forget about "The Year of the Woman." The year 2000 year has just been declared "The Year of the Chair." The person behind the sit-down declaration is self- proclaimed "eventologist" Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, a Chicago woman who is obsessed with creating holidays and special events for every day of the year. Koopersmith says she's declaring 2000 the Year of the Chair because chairs have "...affected the development of all other cultural economic and sociological interpretations of life." Just how do you celebrate the Year of the Chair? You guessed it -- by sitting down. Koopersmith hopes to coordinate a world-wide "sit-in" for New Year's Eve 2000 in which every person on the planet will sit down simultaneously.
