It's on August 27, and I was wondering if anyone planned any festivities.

Come on guys. Break out the oil drill shaped paper hats and the oil tanker shaped cake!

Do you have some kind of link on how this was started, what's celebrated, etc.? I know there's a day/week/month for everything, but I've never heard of this one.

Sorry, Whitecrab. I don't. It's not a very well-known holiday. I think we should just celebrate it however possible. What better way to get people aware of how important petroleum is to our lives than to throw a celebration? Get people started on a good note. When they learn about the wonders of petroleum, they will be better prepared for peak oil.
