I know several people have mentioned them getting on Conan. I brought up (in
this thread) the idea of actually campaigning to get them on, to which some people were interested in.
So I was thinking. Ever since Conan lost the Tonight Show and the whole Team Coco thing started, he's kind of lived by Twitter. So, theoretically, if we can make a lot of posts about how we'd like to see DT on Conan, he might actually go for it.
This is going to take a fairly large amount of people, we're going to want to make it look like there's a lot of interest and excitement. We might even want to bring this idea to other DT and DT related forums.
I've got an idea on the gist of what we should say, but I'm not sure on what exactly we should say. I'm thinking something with mentioning the recent line up change and the new album coming out. Maybe mention that the new album is going to be big and he should definitely get them on. We might also be able to appeal to the fact that Conan is, himself, a guitarist.
There are a few things I"m not sure of yet though. I don't really know how to use Twitter. I guess we just put an @ before their account name? But then, how do we get things to trend? Should we all use the same message, or would it be more effective if we all made our own posts? Should we each only post one? I mean, we don't want to spam, but would a repeat post be ill advised?
I think there's a lot of potential for this. If we can work this out, we might make this happen.
TL;DR - Let's come up with a good message to tweet and tell Conan to get DT on his show.
