* "Light the World with Firefox"
** Celebrating the milestone by having fun with light & the Firefox logo.  You can participate by loading a picture or video to Flickr with the tag "Fx5yr".  Best pictures & actions rewarded with cool Firefox swag!
*** Spotlight:  Borrow a projector and shine the Firefox logo on the wall during your party, or make a logo stencil and place it in front of a flashlight for a cool effect. Or, go crazy and get a searchlight to create your very own Firefox "bat signal"!t pictures & actions rewarded with cool Firefox swag!  Here are some ideas:
*** Mash-Up: Think of the most interesting way you can combine Firefox and light. For example, create the logo out of candles on a birthday cake or program your very own lite brite! The more creative, the better.
*** Mobile: Get the Firefox logo on your phone [link to come] and take a picture holding it in front of a local landmark. Or, organize a bunch of friends for a big group photo with the logo on everyone's phones.
* Looking for party hosts!  Please get in your swag requests [http://bit.ly/fyfxswag here]
