kthx!

Edit: Can't find the Kazoo version of Final Countdown, so I just got the original. I like the original and it pumps up the crowd easily, so thar we go. :P

I think my anonspouse might have Kazoo Final Countdown, but I do not know where it is in the hive mind. I will ask him when he gets home.

A few more song suggestions:
1. Highway to the Danger Zone (Top Gun)
2. Dragonforce (THE HARDEST METAL KNOWN TO MAN)
3. Battletoads theme
4. Something from the Battlefield Earth soundtrack if it doesn't make your ears bleed

MASSIVE UPDATE.

I've recieved word back from DeAnn Milliken, our permit is being reviewed. I've also sent a questionnaire to the lady in charge of the Capital's public space, should hear back shortly. I've asked them both about music/caek/downtown marches, so I should hopefully get two opinions on the matter. I'll side witht he more cautious approach should the two not entirely agree. Still, i don't forsee any problems. BUT!

They want us to alert local businesses, preferably with a flier or face-to-face meetings, a few weeks before the protest. Obviously at this point we can't do that, so it appears this weekend is going to be our only chance. I'm a broke-ass Illinifag, I need the Indyfag propers to do this if the need should arise! If we stick to the Capital it shouldn't be necessary, but if you want to march through downtown I imagine this will be a MUST!

DO IT FAGGOTS! (That is, at least make a fliershould we need one... please?)

That gives me an idea. Anonymous Courtesy Business Cards would be a great thing to have to distribute to local businesses before a protest. I think I'm gonna work on one of them for June's protests.

So do they just want us to advertise for the protest downtown? Or do they want some kind of memo sent out to them. I can at least help in producing the flyer/letter/whatever, but I need some specifics.

Also how big of a local area do they want notified? It's not like Indy has a megahuge group that will be blocking the streets (one of these days maybe).

what do you mean by giving fliers to local businesses?

OK, some specifics; they want us to notify local businesses near the protest site that, yes, there will be protesters, X day at X time, so that they can react accordingly. I don't believe we need to "advertise" our cause etc., simply state that we will be there May 10, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (I chose the ending time arbitrarily, we don't actually have to stay that long). If we do notify the local businesses, we'd most likely want to do so along a marching route; again, I'm not an Indy local so I'd need actual Indyfags to do the notifying and to map/pick a route.

Also, I'm adding this information to my first post in the thread.

Okay, so it sounds like we just need to make a mini-press release. I can make it tonight, and I'll probably make an email address specifically for them to contact us. I'm not putting a phone number in there for obvious reasons. I'll probably be doing my "eye in the sky" bit again so if I need a quick response (such as day of the protest) I know who to call.

It wouldn't hurt to know a parade route so I could put it in the memo but it's not 100% necessary on my side. Can someone give me a rough idea of where you went in March?

Usually when we go walking, we just make a little rectangle -- the site at the Capitol is one corner, the Circle Monument is another, and the opposite side goes past the entrance to the Mall one block south.

Okay, here's the first draft, feel free to critique or correct:

Dear Sir or Madam:

A collective of online-based activists known as Anonymous will be holding a peaceful demonstration Saturday, May 10, 2008, at the Indiana State Capitol Building, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The purpose of this educational outreach demonstration is to notify the public of human rights violations, tax fraud, labor fraud, and other crimes committed by the organization known as the Church of Scientology.

The demonstration will include music, refreshments, giving flyers to interested public, and a march through downtown. The march will be approximately two blocks along Capitol Avenue, Washington Street, Meridian Street, and Market Street. “Anonymous” has agreed to keep sidewalks clear for pedestrian traffic, not disrupt any local businesses, as well as keep music at an appropriate level and thoroughly clean the protest site prior to leaving.

The demonstrators have chosen to wear masks, costumes, or other disguises to protect their identity, as it has been Scientology’s policy to follow, harass or otherwise intimidate critics of their organization (Google “Fair Game Policy” for additional details). Participants are authorized by both city and state ordinance to wear disguises, and are only obligated to identify themselves to law enforcement officials.

For any questions or to receive additional information, please contact us at Indianapolis.anonymous@gmail.com .

I've found myself shying away from the word "protest" and towards "educational outreach demonstration" for Indy events, since we've been basically completely unopposed at every event and we've never met outside an actual org. I dunno if that's just weasel language though.

I would add something after "keep sidewalks clear" emphasizing that we won't be disrupting any of their business. Otherwise, it looks good, so GOGOGOGOGO!

Also, additions to the soundtrack: Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
If it's not too animu, I'd like to request "Airman Ga Taosenai!" as seen here
And perhaps we should keep Yakety Sax on hand in case we have to make our march VERY FAST.

Tom Cruise Crazy is available here: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songd...Cruise%20Crazy and is free under Creative Convention. I should mention that Jon Coulton is the guy who wrote the Portal song, so go buy stuff from him because he is awesome.

Edited to reflect the changes and ready to go, just need someone willing to distribute the thing.

Alright, just about 1 week now, can we get a head count? I've noticed that anonitard, BA, EFG, and myself are the only ones still posting all up in here, and I don't want borderline-namefagging myself to go to waste. Weather should be nice, warm at least, but we NEED someone to distribute them fliers! if we're to have a lulz-inducing downtown march, aight?

Tell you wut, someone actually agrees to do it and posts some pics, I'll bring caek (no lie!)

Someone who I've been talking to *might* be able to distribute flyers but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'll ask again tomorrow.

Yah it has gotten quiet in here...

WAKE UP INDY ANON!
