Shall we start some planning in good time, or shall we make it up on the day?

I shall be bringing, as per usual, my awesomeness. Oh, and a camera.

I'll bring loads of cake from the catering company I work for + I'll try (not certain) to bring loads of balloons for the passing kids. How about a few of us dress up as cartoon heroes? Batman has just been released & it would look cool I suppose. Very important though is to keep hammering our message home.

Anyone interested in joining me for a flash raid next week? It'd be cool coz we got a 5 week gap this month between July and Aug picket. Keep the $cinos jilted.

I'll bring cheesy party music, and pure win.

*checks todays date*
*checks date of protest*

This isn't right, we never plan this early.


I'll bring what I can.
I assume sign, as usual.
Leaflets, now we're allowed.
I'll try for camera and speakers again.
Party stuff.

Good sirs, this early organising scares me somewhat.

100 leaflets
Camera
25 glow sticks
Ibuprofin
Packet of plasters

I may bring Jaffa Cakes if finances allow, but Party Rings may be more fitting. :D

ill have a cam on me
ill try and bring some pop, and some food

Organisation is fucking creepy.

Gonna try for moar bubbles since they were such a success last time.
Also caek again, if I can.

I will bring myself and cake if i can find it!

We can leaflet? Sweet. When was this cleared up? Ill bring loads...bout 400 or so. It'll be enough for everyone hopefully. Wont hurt to have too much anyway.

Bubbles! <3

Camera
Gigantasign
Maybe some Scientology In Action SVCDs

am slightly shocked that planning has started with more than 3 weeks to go.
Will bring my inveitable rolling baccy and babby.

You better bring the kid in a tiny suit and mask. :D

bring chalk, and a big cult stencil

I still have box of big pavement chalks if you want them.

Wait, where/what exactly are we using the chalks on?

I doubt we will be allowed to write on the pavement. Babynonymous?

Babynonymous - maybe we can get the little one banned from Subway :)

Yeah, chalks for th kiddy. He's got to have something to do other than liquidised caek.

With a cunning arrangement of balloons, long lengths of string, several pigeons, six wooden chopsticks and a lightweight banner, we could float a protest sign directly outside the Scilon office windows.

I'll start calculating the drag co-efficient

I still have the "is tech in?" and "scn: Just Blow It" signs from grinstead. Also have a 3'x5' piece of card that needs a slogan. we could always have whatever your boat on the floaty sign.

It would need to be a sign especially for them, what would be the most irritating?
"OH HAI FEELING DOWN STAT TODAY? :3"

We need someone who works in a balloon shop to give us a load of helium balloons and we could write on them and float them outside their windows with string.

SARS: I have loads of balloons but i cannot take them all on the train with me for obvious reasons. I have a helium gas bottle but it's strictly forbidden on trainsas well.

It's also good PR to give balloons to kids and passersby.

I want to do everything legally possible to piss off the $cinos.

Is there anyone who can pick xoi up in a car so he/she can bring a bottle of helium?

Actually, we want to avoid targetting kids since it's kind of unethical

ok agreed - no kids. I was just threading out.

What I can promise is that me, along with suit man, are promising to entertain everyone this time round. Loads of cake - how about free bottled water?

Also, can I float the idea of someone standing below Ethel Street with helium balloons with lots of string standing below the COS? We could have Xenu.net printed on them. Then let them float 3 stories up outside the windows of COS. Just wondering is it legal? IMO it should be - we aren't touching them.

I would suggest that we only give them to people who specifically ask for one

We're not giving balloons out!

OK - not giving them out. Lets dead end that - but what about protesting with them? Could we add a Joker theme?

Personally, I see no problem with handing them out to those that ask for one. Offering to kids, I see where the problems lie with that. But if people ask for one, I reckon that'd be alright. There is, of course, the fact that it could be argued we are deliberately using balloons in order to grab the interest of children.

However, you'd also have to check the legality of this, as we know Birmingham City Council will act on the laws and issue fines if needed.

What kind of thing are you thinking?

I assume he means something like this

hehe - nice pic. Kind of yes. It might be a hard for public consumption though. Anyways, I just wanted to inject some ideas. For now I'll stick to cake & bottled water. We'll hive mind the rest closer to the picket date.

Why so serious?


Really, if he wants to give balloons out to sprogs - let him. No one can say "We're not doing this or that" in Brumanon unless there is a real, legal reason behind it.

I was just thinking in terms of public image and ethics, that was all.

I would say that we should be ok if the parent of the child asks for the balloon, or gives permission. But waving a balloon at a child and asking "Hey kid! Want a balloon? :)" would be too much.

Floating balloons outside silons windows has already been suggested by myself, but with banner attached.


Suggestion for xenu.net address. I find the website slightly overwhelming for someone new to what the cult is about, what other links can we use? YouFoundTheCard.com is good, but a long address.

Whyweprotest.net is a good one, but again, it's a fairly long address. There've gotta be some shorter ones somewhere we can use - anyone?

Enturb had some thread on this subject recently, but had not come to any conclusion when I last read it.
