Once I get my vinyl cutter set up and running I should be able to produce customer designed banners.

2017-07-06 01:51:06 UTC  

Update: I just checked with the nearest campgrounds (and they're tiny, remote) and they're booked full all the weekend of the eclipse.
e.g. https://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/Kingfisher/r/campsiteCalendar.do?page=calendar&search=site&contractCode=NRSO&parkId=71639

2017-07-06 01:53:25 UTC  

Here's an example of the size, style and quality of the first banners I intend to produce.

lol campgrounds

I've seen some who sleep out under overpasses.

2017-07-06 01:56:21 UTC  

I was just trying to illustrate that even that remote, there will be lots of people, over capacity so to speak

2017-07-06 01:56:22 UTC  

"Trolls" I think they're called.

2017-07-06 02:04:19 UTC  

It might be useful to decide if our primary goal is to spectate the eclipse or demonstrate to the spectators. If our top priority is to get maximum views of a political demonstration on an overpass, the smart thing to do is probably perform an "ambush" of northbound traffic returning to Portland after viewing the eclipse at points further south.

2017-07-06 02:04:51 UTC  

Maximum views/minimum congestion in immediate area.

2017-07-06 02:07:02 UTC  

I possible side benefit to that approach is that we could arrange to be rolling north through the eclipse zone en route to our destination at around the time of the eclipse and catch a gratuitous view.

2017-07-06 02:07:15 UTC  

Wotan willing.

2017-07-06 02:08:32 UTC  

.... but the primary objective would be to get to the chokepoint ahead of the post-eclipse traffic.

2017-07-06 02:13:54 UTC  

How busy do you think it will get in the stretch of I-5 directly under the path? Honest question. Like, will there be bumper to bumper stalled traffic on the freeways?

2017-07-06 02:14:14 UTC  

I wouldn't rule it out.

2017-07-06 02:15:11 UTC  

Hell, it happens often enough through there under normal circumstances.

2017-07-06 02:16:28 UTC  

I guess the point is that if we want to get north of the eclipse we can't risk waiting until the morning of the eclipse to travel.

2017-07-06 02:19:55 UTC  

Southbound traffic would be a much easier target audience for most of us, but there are two slight disadvantages, relatively lighter southbound traffic and less than optimal lighting.

2017-07-06 02:32:46 UTC  

@khimære What would you think of a banner that said "IGNORE YOUR RACIAL ECLIPSE, GOYIM"?

2017-07-06 02:33:59 UTC  

"IGNORING YOUR RACIAL ECLIPSE, GOYIM?"

2017-07-06 02:34:28 UTC  

"ENJOYING YOUR RACIAL ECLIPSE, GOYIM?"

2017-07-06 02:36:59 UTC  

"ENJOY YOUR RACIAL ECLIPSE, GOYIM" with Happy Merchant Icon.

I know in central Or. Near Madras they've told residents to prepare to not go out for the week before & the week after the eclipse, to do all their shopping & plan on not being able to travel very well bc of all the congestion

2017-07-06 03:31:27 UTC  

This should be good.

2017-07-06 03:34:49 UTC  

How many banners are we looking at?

2017-07-06 03:35:36 UTC  

I think we can safely assume the worst (or best, in terms of message dissemination for flaggots) about the entire I-5 corridor from Portland to Eugene.

2017-07-06 03:36:54 UTC  

I wouldn't go too much down that route, as it seems generally "memey"

2017-07-06 04:28:43 UTC  

Back roads?

2017-07-06 04:28:57 UTC  

Congestion on the 5 will be atrocious

2017-07-06 11:12:36 UTC  

Maybe a good banner design would be "RESIST RACIAL ECLIPSE" in white / black / white.

2017-07-06 11:39:03 UTC  

Citizens Against Racial Eclipse forms a nice acronym: C.A.R.E.

2017-07-06 11:45:57 UTC  

Yes

2017-07-06 11:46:05 UTC  

Jackpot

2017-07-06 11:46:19 UTC  

As far as locations for open displays of flaggotry go, Ridge Drive has worked well for us in the past. That's where we did "WOTAN MIT UNS" and the first "JEWS DID 911".

2017-07-06 11:48:32 UTC  

We breaking in our new state flags?

2017-07-06 11:49:18 UTC  

Resist racial replacement would be good too

2017-07-06 11:49:26 UTC  

Demographic replacement

2017-07-06 11:49:35 UTC  

Racial displacement

2017-07-06 11:49:47 UTC  

But we're trying to tie it in so nvm

2017-07-06 11:56:43 UTC  

@Wehrmacht Maybe you could design a poster employing "Resist Racial Eclipse" around this image.
