We met up in Balboa Park. I arrived around 3:30 and hooked up with three anonymous. There were two suits and a Mexican altar boy. I had my motorcycle gear, plus foul weather mask. My helmet chin guard flips up, so I looked pretty weird. We wandered through the park, talking to folks and handing out youfoundthecard.org cards with great success. A lot of people had heard of us. We gave out almost all the cards the LAfags left with us, and it was a pretty big stack, plus a bunch of the comic style fliers. Some people had their picture taken with us. It's kind of fun being a tourist attraction!
We wound up at the Aerospace Museum, where a film crew was just wrapping up a commercial for some casino in Arizona. We were waiting for a couple more anons to show before going down to the org. Talked to some of the crew, and they invited us to share their dinner, so we had some good food and chatted about Scientology. We were just finishing up our food when our two brothers showed up for our trek downtown. I rode down on the enthetacycle and, coming down Ash, I spotted Scilon lady on the corner of 4th and Ash, yapping into a cell phone. I got the red light, so I just sat there staring at her. I turned the corner onto 4th and parked in those motorcycle parking slots across from the org. Shut down the bike and just sat there, helmet and mask, silent. THEY HAD THE PANELS BLOCKING THE DOOR AGAIN! LOL! Parking lot was packed, as it was OT Committee night. Three cars left, probably to seek out my brothers. Cell phone yappy woman is, I suspect, upper management. Think I've seen her picture before. She disappeared into the parking lot, still yakking. Slim, short dark hair, grey pants suit. I believe I've seen her before.
While I was on the phone to anon to find out where they were, an older cop drove by. I waved to him and he kept going. He went around the block to park at the A Street intersection, where he sat with his lights on. After anonymous arrived, he moved to park up 4th Ave. where he remained until something actually happened elsewhere. The org seemed pretty busy tonight, lots of window peeking going on. Anonymous distributed electric candles and began to circle the block in a line. A few Scilons were coming in and going out, but as usual, they were mostly hiding. I stayed with my bike, mounting a candle on my handlebar. Anonymous circled the block several times, and we wound up outside the org for a little dancing, finishing up with a rickroll singalong.
As we were getting ready to leave, this guy came up the street, but he wouldn't talk to us:
I took an interesting way home, just in case. This is true.

If you dont mind me asking... what is the usual regimen for post raiding...
My friends and i have planned to keep our anon until safely back at the car, sure we arent being followed, which is going to include public transportation and trolley back tracking.
do you know if the PTS allows the use of masks on board.
Sorry for the sudden overflow of posts on the forums, just trying to get as well informed about the forthcoming events as i can before the raid

The bus that we took on the weekend flash raids has no problems with it.

Yes, they do. After the flash raid I got on a trolley, got close near where I needed to go and took a few detours and no one said anything about it.

Just make sure you have a clear explanation of 'why the masks' if anybody asks you. Once they understand, people's attitudes usually change to our favor.

Save for that "Hard Sell" chick with the nice rack and baseball cap, she had Live and Let Live in her blood.
All right, so I arrive on the scene and performed a donut before I found a place to park. I gathered all my things. Nom noms Water buhket Mask Speakers of lulz
I walked over to the meet point and made a change in to *Scene change* Caltholic mexican sand dessert altar boy anon. I was not going to change in a bathroom, too easy.
I made my way to the meet point, seeying some confuzed stares here and there. Getting to the meet point, I fiddled around with my speakers and pack of over 100 years worth of rubber bands to attempt to fashion mounts for them. After that, I made myself like some odd pedler by manufacturing some braided piece for Sea Arg *in more flavors than you can count. I would occasionally get some odd stares, and a wave, until I saw /b/lackup arrive and didn't feel like a buffoon.
The black was then accompanied by an assist and we where ready to go. I was able to produce two Anon green and white chords and we where golden. We made our way around to balboa parka and passed things to the masses, mostly because we had leftovers from before that we decided to disperse of to allow not to make waste.
I must say, its always entertaining to see people read "YFTC" and the expressions they produce.
*EDIT* will post moar later,

"Live and Let Live" is fine by me, so long as the Scilons are actually willing to let non-scilons live
Given the abundant evidence to the contrary, I'll stick with "Let them live, but on our terms plz kthx" for now...
I'd also like to add that the guy in that pic (at least i think it was him) walked by us and tried to get into the org only to find that it was blocked by those big signs infront of the door. We told him to go into the parking lot and go around, but i guess he didn't want to admit he failed so he walked over the planter. it was lulzy as hell.
Also TOFUMAN CAN FLY!

I think the dude you posted the photo of from last night is the same guy that was with the two women at Fair Game. He was on our side of the sidewalk (by the Hotel) talking, they were on the opposite side videotaping!

During the raid that one girl in the gray shirt who was smoking in front of the Scientology building went across the street and called us all pussy's for waring masks. Then this small group of people sat in front of the Scilon building and told her "why don't you come over here and say it to their face". LoL good times.

This was hilarious to see. He walked past us quickly, avoiding any contact; his little lunchbox-type document container in hand. He was quickly identified by Barb as a clam. Moving up to the door, he stopped suddenly when confronted with the barricade. Flustered, he tried to go around it, moving away from us and found it completely sealed off. All the while we called out encouraging missives. Finally he did clamber over the planter and escaped inside.

Yep, that's him. I took that pic on Fair Game day when he was loitering on our side of the street. We've been doing this often enough that I recognized him the other night. Fur some reason, my digicam no longer recognizes the memory stick. Not sure what to do about it.
But it's the same guy, allrighty.

in response to your memory cartridge...
reformatting would more than likely do the trick, but sadly... all the lulz would be eraticated...
