The picture was taken at a fundraising luncheon for Dr. Paul in Seattle in September 2007. When RP was speaking, I held the sign at the back of the room facing him so he could see it clearly. Eventually, people took notice and flash bulbs starting popping.
My girlfriend, another friend, and I coined the phrase when we were making signs for our the Portland MUG's 'Banner Brigades' (i.e. sign wavings) -- a project that later turned into the '
Ron Paul Sign Page':

The picture went viral on the Web and in YouTubes -- in fact, it got to the point that my girlfriend would always joke by saying, "Where's Waldo?" whenever we'd watch a new Ron Paul YouTube. Pretty funny how that picture and slogan spread like wildfire.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome -- it's good to be here.
