damn. . . I got called back to work today. The Red Apple Buffet is fantastic!
Warning? :(
It's December 12th, not today.
Oh... :blush:
Then I will join you.
i was thinking of having a once a month occasion outside and around and on top of the granite blocks that protect the feds from us
we can then meet for lunch and liven up the concord porcs meeting
this is also a way to meet with friends monthly during the winter when we are not having picnics in our front yard
since Friday asked again
yes this is happening in December :)
any special signs we want to have?
sweet I might be able to do this now.
i was thinking once a month could work and have plenty of time to plan
i have to look for my orange suit ... i might be keeping it in a closet in winchester or need to borrow one from samiam

feel free to invite any of your anti-federalist friends
someone suggested that we could eventually ramp it up to a snowball assault .... i would not condemn such action ... i just wanted to get the US out of nh ball rolling again
As long as it's not snowing I'll drive up to the Get U.S. out party in Concord.
If anyone wants to car pool from the Derry or Manchester area send me a PM.
some of us will stand out there even if it is bad weather .... since it will only be for an hour :0
wookie costumes help keep you warm
i could use some help creating my letter i will send to the feds
it would cover the terms of their surrender
i should send it to their secretary of state and whoever runs the building in concord
i was thinking if they withdraw their forces stationed in nh we can offer them safe passage back to DC
should we offer them a reasonable price for their holdings they will leave behind?
this month i think we should measure the granite blocks that surround the building
how about in january we wear our special square tinfoil hats and attempt to levitate all of the granite blocks?
it make take some really good kazooing
I think you should mention that if they leave peacefully the virtue of the goats that they leave behind will be secure.

they will be making some signs here on thursday
Like the frontier forts, the federal presence in the Shire is hardened against the native population. Why is this the case?
Because they are imposing the "ruling gang in Washington's" agenda down the natives throats.
When the people of a state decide it is time to change the draconian laws, the feds continue to force their will on the peoples of that state. Even without the constitutional authority.
Joseph S Haas apparently has proven that the federal goberment didn't get permission from the state of NH goberment to have the federal facilities in the state.
It is time to assess the value of the facilities and prepare to sell their holdings. How much is the Ministry of Love worth if sold on the open market?

We'll be leaving the Hoyt farm at 10:00a. I don't think we'll be taking the magic bus - there aren't enough people to warrant it, and there's no theatrical purpose to it for the protest (and parking it at the Red Apple would be impossible). We will be carpooling, though.

that's how i took it
the best spot to protest the feds seems like the nearest fed building
we found that there are many different sizes of fed protection blocks
3'x3'x6' are the big boys
big rock planter beds all over
ones that are about 3'x3'x3'
and little ones that are more decorative just 1 by 1 by 3
we made one move by kazoo induced harmonics
no supercollider or global climate change needed
so here are some ideas for january
football style
tinfoil hat levitation
lay siege to the building for an entire hour
pirate raid
i would like to try jousting sticks on bikes in better weather
depending on snow conditions we could make a snow sculpture
renee had a good idea
if one of you guys is ready to run with an idea .... tell us about it, post it everywhere and see how many of us will join you
i thought our first day was successful in that our trail run seemed to work a little. We shall see if the feds leave town monday.
Next month let's knock 'em over :icon_pirat:

You should give them two weeks, they probably need to find accommodations in another state... and they're big assholes so that might take time.
I know if they just called me up out of the blue, I'd be like, "Dudes?!.... a little fuck'n notice!". "I don't need any extra assholes hang'n here!" So it would be like that.

wish i knew abou it i will try to make next one
maybe they will leave after Christmas
They could leave a big Bow on the abandoned building.
It would be the christian thing to do.
Hey! That gives me a great idea. If they are still around next Christmas we could make a big box and cover it with wrapping paper and a large bow. We could put it in front of the fed building. They would drag it into the building and put it near their Christmas tree while we are hiding inside.
It would work great at Easter too. We could make a huge basket and everyone could dress as colored eggs or bits of fancy wrapped candy. :Mr. Burns:

From the Facebook event:
When: January 9th, 11 am to 12 pm
Where: Fed Building, Pleasant St., Concord
Well, the feds are STILL in NH. Can you believe it, after last month? This month, we're going to build a seige wall of snow around the fed building. They put up all those granite blocks after 9/11 to protect the government (WE don't need protection, apparently), so we thought why not build a wall to protect us from them? After all, governments are by far the biggest killers in history. So bring your snow shovels and join us on January 9th for some new fed-baiting fun!
Lunch with Concord Porcupines afterward at the Red Apple Buffet.

yes .... how about we just choose a few employees like a fed judge or 2?
supplies needed for january's snow wall building:
hot chocolate
shovels
cameras
video cams
hot apple cider
we will probably be able to fill in the gaps between a few blocks on the north side leading to their main entrance .... if the snow is to frozen on that side we could find a spot along the southeast side
that might hold them back and keep us all safe for the month
we will toast the best snow sculptor at lunch
maintenance of the wall throughout January will be appreciated and acknowledged at the February party
Kat and I will probably be in Concord 2 more times and can shovel some snow, snap a couple pics and head on to our errands
I will be there with a camera.
mini car shovels will work and are funnier
I will get my small car shovel and one large shovel and probably 4 hot chocolates at Dunks.
i forgot that we need signs again if it is not too windy ...... they looked great and very photogenic last month
if it is windy, flags look great

we succeeded in building a 2-3' high wall 150' around one side of the building (most of it was granite blocks)
we succeeded in keeping all of the federals in their compound for the entire hour
we survived the wind .... actually it wasn't that cold
we had fun with little shovels and ate good food with our friends afterwards
ack .... I forgot to award the best shoveler
I raise my lemonade glass to Jim Johnson who began the wall building and to the rest that joined him when more shovels arrived
i met one man later today that was worried that we cost taxpayers money with our efforts .... that didn't bother me much

I'd like to thank the Universe for the official recognition of my tiny shovel expertise.
I would like to thank the Feds for providing me the opportunity to win this honor. If they weren't such extreme assholes there would be no reason to build a siege wall and therefore no reason to bring my considerable talents to bare on the construction of this minuscule edifice.
I would also like to thank the butterfly who so long ago flapped it's wings and created the chain of events that led to the formation of the FSP aaaaaaaand culminated in the this award.
And to the NH Coalition of Tax Payers, who continue to fund the government while complaining that our fight is costing the Government, and therefore the tax payers, money: I invite you to do a cost analysis between our action today and the next time someone introduces a bill in the legislature.
Hat's off to all of you.

with photos :)

do you guys like the snow wall idea for february or is there a better one?
I like the idea of trying something new each month. But I don't have any new ideas at the moment. :(
Here is one idea: Each secessionist can stand on one of the blocks and pose for the statues which will be put there after the feds have left New Hampshire.
i like it
if there will be some snow, i might do some wall maintenance ... then hop up on one of the rocks
there are some long ones for groups or for running around on top
I will practice posing. ;)
Poser.
Snow sculpture.
That is, build snowmen (or women, or dogs, or whatever) on top of the blocks, like statues.
That would probably attract more interest from the public, and if the Feds complained, they would look very silly.
Then give the snow-things signs to hold.
Joe
That sounds fun! We could do both.
Maybe if enough people give the fed building an icy stare, it will turn to ice and melt away when spring comes.
Making snow statues sounds like more fun though, if there is enough snow...
the rule in this thread is that you have to ready to do the activity .... and then others can join you
if you guys want to build stuph out of snow and put them on the blocks that sounds good
i am not sure if the snow will be right .... I will attempt to build a snowman and be a statue myself
Russell came up with the idea that for April 10th, we film people saying why they don't pay fed taxes. This can be done publically or with a hood over the head if the person doesn't want to be that open about it.
Oh THOSE taxes? I thought they were voluntary? :P
yes ... february is strike a pose month
march can be filming a scene from Man of la mancha (we just rewatched it)
april can be "why i don't pay federal income taxes" month
we got lots of tilting ideas from the movie
i am thinking we need a few don quixotes tilting at granite blocks in march .... then in a future episode we can introduce the fair lady liberty for whom he rides and for who's virtue he contends
i guess our snow walls are gone now .... maybe there will be fresh snow we could move around a bit in february
If it's like this, we're not going to have much snow to build statues with.
DC will... another big snowstorm headed their way. Impliment 'Operation Snowman'... repeat 'Operation Snowman'
All that were at secret seven meeting will know what to do.
Good luck and god speed.
Sic Snowball Tyrannis!
i think pat robertson said that all this snow on DC was punishment for their sins of worshiping a false god (obama), lying, stealing, and killing ..... i think they have broken 9/10 this winter
maybe purgatory will be DC this summer

almost time to topple the US empire .... maybe it will work this month
i don't have any costume ideas for john's idea this month, but i will be there with a flag or sign and shovel
We had really wanted to topple the leviathan this month... however we are unable to join the fun...
That's ok we have a giant knight to do the slaying.
If the feds leave quietly I think we should let them take their stuff.
agreed .... this month we are even putting away the tools and just taking pictures and making movies
if they are still there next month ..... i will bring the lance .... i found a nice helmlock one in the woods yesterday ... it is stronger than i am
i will make a sign for today imagining my fed-free world
We were successful in this month's Federal Government sortie. :horse:
Although they were again to scared to send an emissary to speak with us about their eminent demise.
the guy came out of the building as we got into our cars .... maybe a routine patrol was delayed until we left :)
i loved the big sword and shield .... i need to upload my pics and raw video
next month we can film the first windmill scene from man of la mancha
we need people to play crazy knights
sanchos to talk some sense into us
lady libertys (the reason for our quest) this time or in the future
horses or horse props
I will bring sticks as lances that can be shattered on the granite blocks
coconuts or sticks for hoof noises
singers
videographers
still photo experts
maybe we can end up with 3 minutes of video and random media available for ridleos and future blackmail
i will be going as one of the errant knights and will be singing the don quixote song along with whoever will join me
we can ride up pleasant street and spot the ministry of love and then meet it in unparalleled battle
Thanks for the after action report... 8)
Johnson's mighty sword was bitchin'... I really wanted to come and get a photo. Shine on you crazy diamond!
here are the pics i got and i added a raw youtube video
The sword and shield are very cool.
Yeah! I can see only part of the sword and my arm is tired.
Made from the finest Damascus cardboard. ;D
I posted my pics in the "Tilting at Windmills" album (http://www.nhfair.com/thumb-through/Tilting-At-Windmills) on NHFAIR. Lauren, can I share your videos (of this event and others) on NHFAIR?
Please do.

are those sunspots artificial or from camera? Curious, either way, it's spectacular looking.
Lens flare effect from Photoshop... The sword was clipped off in the original, created the tip, more sky, lens flare, compensated for exposure etc. :)

I understand that there is a system of Planets that revolve around the tip of Jim's Mighty Blade.
They usually reside a half dimension away, but express themselves when Jim sticks his tummy out.
next month we should get some good pictures

Very clever Mr. Danforth, you have surmised my beginnings. I am from a planet made completely of card board. For a thousand generations my people worked on the construction a home planet made completely of card board. My father had the honor of gluing the last piece. Then in celebration they decided to have a bonfire... and then the rains came... and as the planet burned and melted away, my father sent me to live on Pulpia, the planet you call Earth. Which is the only known source of cardboard in the universe.
My father had hoped that I would master the secrets of cardboard and exact revenge upon the destroyers of Cardboard planet. But since they burned their own planet I thought that was a little nuts.
My father sent a piece of the original planet with me to earth. It was to instruct me in the ways of my people. I took the piece to a far away place and, as per instruction, I threw it away. The wind took it and I never saw it again.
So there... I hope you're happy with your little discovery.
Is this why you can 'fight yourself' out of any box except cardboard?
Damn you! Is nothing to be kept secret.
I can't see through cardboard either... so it would be really great if you started wearing cardboard underwear, thanks.

:blush: And then I just read the whole cardboard exchange above, and I'm still laughing. You guys are nuts!!
partly.
it takes a special breed to tackle the feds with cardboard cutouts
kat started a facebook group that will sponser these events
I need some help for the march tilt
I need 1 or 2 people to video record.
Can someone else be audio recording
someone to edit the footage
at least jim and I will be playing knights .... we can use more people who are willing to look silly fighting the giant
a wisecracking sidekick trying to talk sense into us (I can see Sam A. Robrin and others in this role)
we could have quite a group of naysayers advocating that we just stop our dreaming and drop our quest to vanquish the foes of our maiden in distress Lady Liberty
I think kat and kira will be playing coconuts for the hoofbeats
we could use any and all musical additions
we will spend the whole time filming on pleasant street leading up to the fed building and then dashing our hopes on the rocks
i will bring some pine lances ... I might break one or 2 tilting at the feds
I'll be glad to video record, I'll enjoy playing a part, and I'd love to edit!
what part do you want to play ... do we need someone else recording while you play it?
i forgot that we also need fake horses made
i will make one from a broom, but if someone makes a better one and doesn't want to play a part, i would upgrade
we must follow our quest .... come rain or shine

If I'm the only videographer, then yes, someone may need to take over for me while I'm on camera. Or we could use a tripod, which I have.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but thought I'd pass this along if anyone's interested:
NH Peace Action will be holding an antiwar march from Concord HS, down Pleasant Street, to the State House followed by a rally on the State House plaza, also on the afternoon of Saturday the 13th. They specifically want to welcome libertarians to join in opposing the war.
http://www.nhpeaceaction.org/ (http://www.nhpeaceaction.org/)
aha
what time?
did you guys ever visit the various US rep offices during presidents week?
aha
what time?
The march is scheduled to leave CHS at 12:45. The rally at the state house is 1-2:30.
There are also peace activist/nonviolent resistance training sessions at CHS all morning before the march.
It will be great to see libertarians represented.

I think there were some weather/travel issues with the president's day visits and it had to be rescheduled. I wasn't able to participate. My president's day is March 2nd anyway :).

if we wanted to join the show at the statehouse we could for a while and then go to lunch later. Our outfits might loook good for it. We could get it going early by going straight there.

sounds like an insurgent group inspired by a crazed spanish knight
well it won't be cold .... concord doesn't even have any snow left (we have it everywhere still)
but maybe rain
i guess we could decide on Saturday if we want to join the peacenics and postpone our lunch. i have a feeling if it is raining then we will be tired of being outside and filming.
Now they're predicting rain Sunday instead of Saturday.

I looked at the week-long forecast the other day and it has highs in the 40s all week. The very next day it was almost 60. I take the weather forecasts with a pillar of salt, preferably of the Sodom variety. There's just too much chaos theory going on there. I think a butterfly somewhere decided not to sit perfectly still.

looks like nasty weather - but i hope our quest will be successful today
Depends on who you believe for the weather forecast... I think it will hold off raining until after the siege.
We will prevail... they can't counter Becky's gilded breasts! ;D
Many think that is your only hope.
I will keep the public abreast of the feds pleas for mercy.
Hopefully they won't go tit for tat.
They are sure to make boobs of themselves though.
The sight of us will scare them deep in their bosom.
The feds will run away screaming into the night, and there will be nothing left of them but hooters in the distance. (okay, that one was a stretch)
;D
It is my hope that the feds will again make boobs of themselves.
Well this is ending up a a very titillating thread.
Do you suppose you can get the feds to retreat
as far as the Grand Tetons?
Those 'Nobs' don't stand a chance against Becky's Breasts.........oh!, and Her BreastPlate!
We were defeated. The front line of troops turned into granite blocks and I crashed into them, sending me tumbling.
I added my pics to the Tilting thread on NH FAIR (http://www.nhfair.com/thumb-through/Tilting-At-Windmills). I'll be editing my videos over the next few days.

So how about next month .... a theme of death and taxes?
i can wear the detainee suit, with a sign around my neck that say
"Paid 4 by your taxes"
we can also have our lineup of those that will not be filling out a 1040 form this year
(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1346/992331036_40f7275c14_o.jpg)

i think that is what the agents looked like coming for their 4cents of flesh in sacramento
may is planned for the wheel of justice and such
tom, maybe you could plan a ceremony ending prohibition in June .... or we could just move the event from noon to 4 in the afternoon
i don't smoke much, but i do like to carry open containers

I guess gram pa lost the straw draw
and had to come out and face you. ;D
LOL, great videos, guys!
very cool .... especially considering the material available from our temporary defeat
"If you don't get off the property I'm taken down all your names and making reports on all of you!", says the little old security guard grandpa.
I heard, 'My wife told me to chase you kids off the lawn... and your not getting your ball back either!'
Was this a failing on my part or a proper subconscious interpretation?
If it was proper, will I have to break into their house to get our ball back or will they have a change of heart some day and give us our ball back?
Totally proper, but don't bother trying to break in to
get the ball back. The bitch boiled it and served it to grandpa
for dinner.
if we did a 420 event there ..... how do you guys like the idea of ignoring the guards and not talking with them?
we could have a picnic there and just continue even if they come out to talk to us :)

The etiquette is they must stand in the party circle and take a hit for us to recognize them... We also have our policies and procedures to follow. ;D
It is interesting to note that grandpa security dude would have to call Boston for our FPS buddies to show up.

I noticed that grandpa came out because of the signs, not specifically because we had stepped on their lawn. Before the signs got there grandpa was joking with us, "Get back on your horse."

Short answer is yes... :)
Long answer is that lands right in the middle of the college graduation season that I have committed for shoots and editing... the better part of our bread and butter for the year.
Is there anyone else who recognizes the Feds are the "root" cause of the "War on Marijuana People"? Will others help highlight that the occupation forces are the real obstacle to evolutionary change?

How about White Park for after we tilt/film outside the Fed building in April?
http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3E7D (http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3E7D)
Looks good to me.
April's Concord Porcs will be a picnic, at White Park, hopefully the weather will be good.
I'll be out of town, but Amanda has stepped forward to take the heavy job of leadership.
Kat/Russell, can you keep her in the loop? Just in case anything changes, etc.
yes
I will not be able to tilt at the feds tomorrow. I am working.
It looks like no rain, so that is good.
How would our participants feel about moving the May Kangaroo court to say ..... Wednesday the 12th?
I work on Saturdays and Sundays at kmart.
Moving the date for tomorrow's tilting to Wednesday....closer to April 15th.
So it'll be Wed. April 14th, noon - anti tax tilting. Picnic afterward.
so we can do our Death/Taxes show on Wednesday
the bad news is anyone who works on weekdays will not be able to join us
the good news is that the Fed bureaucrats can watch us when they go to lunch
I will be in my torture outfit.
We can interview people about why they do or don't pay federal income taxes.
Maybe I'll wear my IR$ OUT OF NH t-shirt.
I made it for my first demonstration in NH.
... What is it, 6 years ago now? And the bastards still haven't left yet.
Will Death and Taxes be defeated by the likes of the Noble Cardboard Knight. The Golden Orbs of Justice will try to free the "detainee". Hopefully John won't have to use his guitar in a Pete Townsend, superior defensive force, smashing action... ;D
how about having my sandwich board say
front:
How Obama uses
back:
your tax $
windy and 65 today in concord
maybe we can picnic afterwards
i am thinking we can get there by 12 so we can enjoy watching the looks on the feds workers as they head to lunch
see ya whenever you get there
the greek place across the street will be open for those that need food and such :)
We win again!

It was too bad we didn't have FIJA material with us yesterday. We parked next to a long line of jurors and several jurors stood on the street corner with us, waiting to cross the road. No idea what trial was going on though.
How did you identify them as Jurors(qm)
Just wanted to publicly give kudos to the Cardboard Knight...
Bitchin' visual... I could see him from blocks away.
We got lots of positive feedback from passers-by... A car with young men asked if we were some of the Tea Party crowd... they were very much interested that we weren't. The partisan crap has turned people off...
We weren't yelling through a bullhorn and were making quite the peaceful statement...
The whole scene reminded me of a scene from Monty Python... ;D
'The power of the absurd'...
The blue coats didn't know what to do and just ended up withdrawing into their fortified position... more than once.
Great to see kids, moms and wacky costumed folks... best turn out so far. The park is a good after event location.
We had to make the time to make this event and felt it was very much worth it... Look foward to see what kind of mischief comes next time.
Can't wait to see Anton's images. :)

Knights Demand Feds Surrender (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWYoDPF-09w#)
OMG! I needed that laugh!
Monty Python could do no better.
The look on that Feds face is priceless!
I kept playing that piece over and over- "I believe the answer
is no. I guess siege continues".
OMG Lauren, that's priceless!!! I love the open, the music fits the scene, man.... ;D Thanks for posting this video.
We had a great time, and look forward to the continuation of the siege. The feds were repelled twice...I blinded one with my Golden Orbs of Justice!!!
Golden Orbs of Justice= That is a a good band name for sure.

I will come as the defendant ..... in my orange jumpsuit
can someone play the judge?
we could also have a military tribunal .... anyone with old military jackets could play the part
it will not be too warm and it might have showers
the park worked out well last time .... there is also a lebanese sandwich shop 1 block away that had good food last month
there might also be jurors since it as a weekday again
looks like 54 degrees and maybe a little rain this morning
we have a judge and a detainee defendant
do we have anyone that can act as guards for the kangaroo court?

I'm happy to say that we may have won again today. :)
We where confronted by one person who identified himself as a cop.
He looked like a very hard drunk... red faced, gaunt and a barely under control demeanor.
He was parked in one of the special police parking spots in what looked like a privately owned vehicle.
He wanted to know when we needed to go back to our jobs... it did look like he wanted to give us a ride back to our jobs.
I asked him if he thought it was alright to imprison and torture Russell.
He wanted to know what Russell was accused of.
I asked, "Does that matter? He has been accused."
He told Russell to step away from the car. He didn't want to hit Russell in the ass with his mirror as he drove away.
Russell mentioned that that was a guy who is ready to kill people after being handed a crudely photocopied piece of paper with someones name on it.
For some reason today's Dilbert made me think of this.

Would the presence of the protesters cause prospective jurors to give more or less credence to the FIJA brochures? They'd probably be more likely to read them, but would they be more or less likely to believe them?
I expect it would depend upon the juror's beliefs. That is, an anti-war juror would be more likely to believe the brochures if the protesters were protesting against the war. An anti-income-tax juror would be more likely to believe the brochure if the protesters were protesting against the income tax. Etc.
I'd say that sticking with the war is the best bet. Someone who's pro-tax might still sit there and refuse to convict someone for marijuana, or some other consensual crime. I can't imagine that a pro-war juror would be all that likely to oppose the government on anything meaningful, except maybe a gun case, which would be good, but we don't tend to have many of those here in NH.
Joe
sorry about not changing this on the calendar yet
we will be joining the guys already headed for the fed courthouse on the 23rd
how about tilting at the feds after we tilt at the state on August 12th?
Ivy has a hearing with the state in Concord that day between 10:30 and noon
How about we show up in our funny costumes outside whatever state government building and convict the state of "practicing law without our consent"?
Then we could circle the fed compound once, filming and photographing as we go.
Then picnic somewhere.
sweet idea, I'm down

The 14th of august is a better day, for me... :D
that sounds like a good day to do it for this month
hmmmm what should we do?
the building will be closed that day

Anton Lee was the only one that was there at 10. We made a nice video that I have to figure out how to edit it.
I don't have time to figure out how to edit the video the way I want to day...
here is the raw video Anton shot.
http://db.tt/0mXX1p (http://db.tt/0mXX1p)
This video was my inspiration:
Water, Consciousness & Intent: Dr. Masaru Emoto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAvzsjcBtx8#)
LOL, maybe the water trick worked since they didn't throw us in jail a few minutes after that.
We arrived 20 mins late. Saw Anton drive by but didn't get his attention. Some of us chalked the sidewalk and granite blocks. Three police cars came, plus two fed marshalls and one security guard. None of us would talk to them. They held a conference and decided not to molest us today.
Russell has pics and video.
Tagging the fed building:
Raw video of Fed compound tagging 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMnTVPA6le8#)
Raw video of Fed compound tagging 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Sj6SLY9Ds#)
sorry we missed you guys
i guess they thought we were coming in waves
they didn't know what to do with us .... then decided to leave us alone
the markings where still there at 11:30
The last video Russell took yesterday
Raw video of Fed compound tagging 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf7WhAqx6KA#)
we were inspired by the keeniacs
Kat thought that the granite blocks would work well
I think next month we do some more. There are a bunch of those blocks and other walls, sidewalks.
we had so much fun tagging the fed compound blocks with chalk we are going to do it next month
It will not take long. in fact we might want to do it quickly next time.
Please come video and photograph from a safe distance if you wish. They will react this time.
September 4th at noon
Thanks for showing up this month guys ..... see you in September.
Kat and I will be tagging the feds at noon before we head down to help someone move in
Kat found a huge box of chalk at walmart for $5 :)
it won't take us long
if we see other markings from folks we will take pictures
do you mean tomorrow 8/28?
Next Saturday...September 4th.
Ideas for messages to write on fed building?
looks like good weather for chalk
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs422.snc4/46564_492009221163_624641163_7039459_5024435_n.jpg)
the federal security guard seemed confused when he said "I'm going to have to ask you to stop drawing, most of what you guys do I can't do anything about but this will not make them happy." and I continued on with my 'drawing'. Kat then walked in front of him and continued to draw.
the cop said we had to stop writing. Then he yelled at Kat "HELLO!" when she disobeyed him. The cop kept looking at me as if I wasn't involved. I had chalk on my hands, and was taking pictures of him. I'm not sure why he thought I wasn't involved. He asked out loud while looking at me "anyone want to tell me what's going on?" I smiled and said nothing.
In the end, after a big huddle and a supervisor making a phone call they told us that they were called out because they thought someone had 'spray paint'. . . last I checked you don't draw with spray paint, you paint with spray paint. Besides, I've never seen a spray paint can that disintegrates in your hand as you rub it on granite.
The maintenence man was taking video. That is until he saw me coming with my camera. All talk, no balls.
They reminded us to not cross the street without being in a crosswalk. I think he might have thought we were too stupid to look both ways. I told him to have a nice day and he thanked me. Kira then crossed the street outside of the crosswalk. She was unharmed.
about 5 photos so far on http://www.shirephotography.com (http://www.shirephotography.com) in the NH LIBERTY gallery.
Truly hilarious... "She was unharmed."
Like the time I bought a vehicle and brought it home, then went to the town clerk to register it, the next day. "How'd you get it here; you never came in for temp plates..." "I drove it here." "You can't do that." "The wheels turned and it didn't catch fire so, apparently, I can." <blank stare>
Joe
LOL :)
I love that picture, Anton ;D Russell of the holy halo armpit.
Joe Haas came :) Guess what he chalked on the sidewalk?
that was fun
they seem to have trouble when we don't answer them
they had a sign proclaiming "Recovery in Progress"
they are planning on spending money to upgrade the lights and systems inside the fed compound
I don't know about you, but I feel fully "recovered" now.

LOL, no he was brief. It was an RSA that he said would terrify the feds.
Somehow, quoting the law never seems to have the desired effect on those who decide what the law means and to whom it applies.
First ridleo from the event
Cop: "You can't audio record"
Cop: "You can't record audio" (Concord, New Hampshire cops) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0GWhR-FE64#)
that's a great video! I didn't see the officer take Kat's chalk. She was obviously doing nothing wrong and it was wrong of him to steal her possessions.
and then he jaywalked, and then told us not to jaywalk (as if my intention was to be hit by an automobile) and then he jaywalked again.
Brilliant, Dave: "I'm going to back away then so that I can't hear you."
I would have been stuck on, "I am audio recording, and if you don't give consent, you have the right to remain silent." By backing away, you put the ball in his court: if he wants to engage you, he must consent to audio recording.
Oh, now that I've seen the video....he didn't take the chalk, he just rubbed out a little of the writing to see if it would come off.
The guy who was also filming, Ridley said I don't know who that is...people were saying it was the property manager.

my bad, I saw the video from across the room and that's what it looked like.
It did look like that's what happened in the video....Ridley also said it.
Well done ya'll... and funny to boot. ;D
I can't imagine how this was accomplished without a bullhorn, without calling the cops Nazis, without alienating passersbys...
As an aside, I don't think the Concord cops have jurisdiction over the granite blocks.
yea it didn't seem like the cops wanted to do anything
they would probably wait for the homeland security people

Gawd, I just had to smack myself! My first thought (sometimes too much conditioning just creeps through and you have to slap that schit back down!) was "well
THAT'S a good use for homeland security..." all sarcastic in my head and then... and then... I realized that was actually TRUE... without sarcasm! It really IS the best use for Faterlund ... ummmmm... homeland security!
Come out and meet the guys...
I bumped into Mike Therien the other day... small world. ;D
We saw Federal Protective Services coming up the highway as we left.
correction-annotation posted regarding the chalk grabbing comment.
October 9th, 11:30 am chalking the fed building with Free Bradley Manning messages.
i will have to wear a costume this time ... it makes it more fun

Free Bradley Manning
we will be visiting the concord porcs at the pub afterwards
kat will take pictures of me chalking today
Letters and postcards to:
Bradley Manning

Saturday Nov. 13th, 12:00 Street theater, chalk, fun....let the feds know we don't like all the killing, torture, stealing. Hopefully no arrests this time.
are we doing the torture lineup this time?
Wasn't hearing me sing Chronic Christmas carols enough torture for you? :P
yes
but they are still doing it
i have one orange jump suit and we have 2 red ponchos for people to wear as victims of the empires violence
I need to stay here. Repair guys coming "sometime" today...
Evan has been released! The Ambassador has secured the release of Emperor Evan from the U.S. Federal Government and is currently returning him to the peace and tranquility of Free Grafton.
Excellent!
cool
so they held kat for 20 minutes to give her a ticket
and they held Evan for a few hours
did they ID the emperor?
crap, I just got done making FREE EMPEROR EVAN facebook profile pictures. Shows me for not checking the NH Underground first. Glad you're out Emperor AND Kat. I was so fucking angry today. Thanks for your heroism.
I think we struck a chord in that security guard guy. He will be thinking about it tonight.

I still have some pairs of little girls' underpants left over, if anyone wants to start a "charity drive." The thug who was "assaulted" by Mike Tiner is--according to Mark Edge, who spoke with some of his co-workers--
still being kidded about that. And I'd bet the rent that he thinks twice now before doing anything similar....
