Sunderland, UK

OK chaps, on to May 10.

Let's upgrade the visuals and fun aspects a bit this time. Try and avoid the scruffy jeans and casuals, and go for suits and ties OR costumes--game characters preferably. I'll probably be in a boring old suit again.

I just bought a Carlsbro Speakezee PA Unit that I can lug along if the police will allow it. I used it in town today and it is awesome--loud and good quality. The rechargeable battery runs for three hours of heavy use, the promo says. I only used it for about 50 minutes today but I was very impressed with its performance.

If I do bring it next month, along with the tripod I mount it on, as well as my usual A2 signs on a pole, I won't have any extra carrying capacity for other A2 signs so someone else will have to make up the slack. Either that, or they can pick up my spare signs ahead of time. :)

Right.
Me and at least two friends are going to make the long bus Journey from sedgefield =D
I Just need to know where the bus stops and where the sci building is.
Ill bring cake and I think my mate might be making a banner.
Can bring Ipods & Batteries if needed.

Agreeing with the above and cross-posting the April 12th video I just finished in case people have abandoned the last thread ;)

YouTube - Sunderland Anonymous Operation:...

Enjoyed the vid of our raid on the 12th. I can see how badly the org has declined.In fact when you look at their site and see how how shiny and new it looks. This could be a bit of humour show a vid with a picture of their site and their speil over the top and then THE REALITY a building in decay looking sorry for itself with shots of the front and back.

Bus ends at park lane bus station - there's a map not too far away, but if you're worried pop onto the chat/pm me to arrange a meeting at the time. I had to find it alone for the last one. Thank god for maps!

Just looked on the Arriva site for more info on bus times.
saturdays look VERY limited on transport to sunderland from sedgefield.
10:10 to sunderland interchange, Is that the station?

yes that is the main bus station - also known as park lane.

from there it is a 5 minute walk north east to the church.

I will post a map tomorrow.

Ahh thanks, When I try googlemapping one and I choose walk as an alternative route, The line just seems to pass through buildings O_o.
sorry that I cant bring signs or leaflets but I gotz caek.

SUNDERLAND ROCKS!

so, someone made a thread about how some of the smaller cities and some of the cities who don't get as much recognition as the places with bigger orgs are being slighted. i happen to think ya'll should get more recognition.

i want to thank you for organizing the protests in your city. i know that it must be much harder to show up with very few people and protest.

every Anonymous protest is important. every anon who protests is vital. every anon who cannot make it to the protests, but who helps in other ways is vital. there is not one of us who is not an integral part of this movement.

so, thank you very much for having your protests!

day day,
AnonMomAnon

Aww that's sweet of you - cheers! :)

Woo, always nice to see support!
Also very much agree with the visuals, i'll be wearing suit this time, and have procured myself a mask - no need for scarf
I know at the previous protests you guys were asked not to wear masks but i think a concerted effort to inform the police and tell them we WILL be wearing masks (otherwise, we lose a lot of the point of campaigning against Fair Game) - obviously we can come across very nice n polite and say we're not out to intimidate etc etc

Any thoughts? Also will be bringing my handy interviewing kit and *fingers crossed* getting some airplay on Ne1fm

Don't bet on it, we've tried multiple times and they just won't budge on the mask issue - I'll of course be trying again but I'm not too hopeful. Ho hum.

Hoping for good weather *crosses fingers*.

/off topic?
Is there a HMV near by?
Brothers Birthday presents needed.

There's one in The Bridges shopping centre which is just by where we are :)

Ah good.

Seems googleing a way lets me pass through buildings?

Well, there's a route through a shopping centre >_>

Oh ok, Sorry.
Never been to sunderland before =x

Sup Sunderfags <3 Good job on April 12th.

Why aren't you guys masked in the above video? D:

Police wont let them be worn.
*Shrugs* Intimidation to the public or something?
I dont know.

Are you allowed to cover your faces with big sunglasses/scarves etc? If they want to know about intimidation they need to read up on Fair Game!
