Got a 32oz. plastic milk bottle, which I planned on filling with soda (Mountain Dew, specifically) unless you've a better idea. It's the typical translucent plastic bottle, which I imagine the chartreuse-colored soda will show easily through.

Will clean thoroughly once empty of the actual milk product.

Well, I was sad that it looked like I would have to miss this because the first NH Pink Pistols shoot is happening in Deerfield. However, I see that it's at 4pm, which is a little later in the afternoon. I don't know exactly when we'll be done, but perhaps it's possible for us to do a field trip from Deerfield. I think the shoot starts around noonish.

Ryan scheduled the shoot from 12:00/15:00 to coördinate with this event, if I recall correctly.

(And this is why I'm not sure I'm going to be back in Manchester on time—I'll be in Deerfield from early morning through 15:00.)

Jeremy you better go ahead and do the drinking .... Dada might have to bleach the milk bottle a couple of times.

If I make it there .... I could wear a monkey suit if you want to bring it Dada. It might be too much trouble for you though.

[Kat Kanning]

Does this look like what you wanted, or were you thinking something fancier?

[Dave Ridley]

i scheduled it in cooperation with ryan so that it wouldn't interfere with the pink pistol event
however i'm running too far behind to attend both

[Dave Ridley]

why would i want something to be fancy? lol

[Dave Ridley]

Dear folks at Manchester City Hall and MPD:

On Sunday, May 25, 2008, I and perhaps others will commit three illegal acts in downtown Manchester.    I'll perform a for-profit puppet show without a license, violating RSA 286:1.  And I'll hire a homeless person (if any are available) to stand next to me with a collections cup.  I'll pay her $6.00 an hour.  This will violate RSA 279, the law which recently mandated a $6.50 minimum wage.  Lastly, I or others will place tap water into carefully sterilized milk containers, violating RSA 184:30-d.  I or others will offer this water to any destitute who want it.

We're protesting New Hampshire politicians' perverse enthusiasm for passing, and preserving, unneeded laws...five million words of state laws at last count.  And we're checking to see how much stomach you have for using force to impose such laws.

If you really are just bureaucrats and officers of law, you should send enforcers to seize me and prevent us from aiding, however slightly, the people of the street.  You should stop me from entertaining, however briefly, the small crowd gathered.  For as best I can read them, the statutes clearly forbid all these acts.

But if you are public servants and peace officers, you will confine your attention to the day's fraud and violence cases, knowing it is your moral duty to punish *only* aggressors and thieves.

We'll begin around 4:00 p.m. at Veteran's Park.  Events like this one will continue until I am arrested or have amassed a thousand dollars in constructive, illegal profits.

Yours,


Dave Ridley
