There's a bridge on bickford ave in Snohomish that we never had a chance to hit up

It was being repaved on the day we stopped by it

Send John the details

He should have it. I submitted it previously but we never got around to it because of the construction issue

I'm pretty excited that I might have another Snohomish member nearby soon

I told John that we should make extras of the large banner stencils and whatnot so we can have a copy up north

I'd be up for hosting some banner making after the event, but only for members that I know pretty well

Don’t ever feel pressured or obliged to host anything at your place of residence. It is explicitly advised against in the guide.

It would be nice to have multiple sets of the stencils, but I’m kind of tired of throwing up $40 banners just to have them snatched in 30 minutes. I think it’s time we got more creative with how/where we deploy them, like the boys in MO did. I got a high quality fall arrest harness and am going to look into learning how to climb structures using rope.

Totally. I have rock climbing harness... not sure if that's as useful in this scenario though

I think that would be perfect. We just have to find a place to practice

Personally I'd like to stencil some of the graffiti'd up jersey barriers that I see in Everett. Repeated URLs or other slogans along the road feels like it'd be eye-catching

I feel the same about the graffiti that we saw on the Mercer exit as well

Although those things would get covered quickly, I'm sure

Mercer would be dangerous because of traffic, but hard for opposition to cover

most of that went up during BLM protests

when that section of I5 closed

excuse me *riots

Wow. Can't believe that stuff was up for that long. That's ridiculous.

I volunteered to go to Portland before you mentioned you'd be nearby

Messaged Leo but didn't get an answer back

I'm still willing and interested for fun but if y'all get it handled that's fine too.

Haven’t heard from him. I’ll hit you up tomorrow

Clarke and I might end up going, and bringing posters

I won’t have time to poster in Portland. I’m in Oregon city with family. I am hoping to interview an applicant with Leo but haven’t heard from him

No worries, understood

Leo might be down

We'll see. As long as I can get Clarke up to speed on the process I'll be happy, not too worried about a big group doing it

Two or three feels like the perfect number

Did you guys put up posters? How did interview go?

Ethan and I put up posters

interviewee ghosted us in Portland though

I've been dogsitting in Seattle so we chose a couple of locations that are close by

Sorry for not inviting you since you're close but I knew you were in Oregon

We had the cops roll up on us in White Center though

Oh, missed the context

Clarke and I put up a banner, we didn't have time to scout for posters

Did the cops talk to you?

too bad about applicant

No, we booked it

I spotted the car (KC sheriff), told Ethan we had to walk away, cop still saw us and cut us off from getting in an alley.

We turned around, went around the corner, and feinted the guy pretty hard because he kept going in one direction waiting for us to turn the next corner but we were already a block in the other direction at that point

(We could see his lights barely through an alley)

Luckily it was our first White Center poster and all we did was spray glue, and not, like, the third one of the set

We got four posters in West Seattle proper though

What a cunt. Nothing better to do than chase people putting up posters in WC?

I guess

I just talked with John about transporting people to the airport and I think we're all covered

I almost forgot that you aren't coming... do you need us to send anything to the rest of the guys?

Stencils for Ryan PA. He’s going to give us some custom stickers in exchange

I'm dog-sitting in Seattle so I might be closest... I could pick them up after the meeting if that works for you?

I don't have them all printed yet

Should be done by Wednesday

Oh, sure, that works

Still thinking the stencils will be finished tomorrow?

I was just thinking, I remembered you offered to let Charles borrow a book when we were all stenciling...

Is that offer still on the table? Might need to read something on my flight. I don't remember the title

I don't remember the book. Maybe Marcus Aurelius' Meditations

Not really a "sit down and read" book

I think it was something something

"consequences"

Unintended Consequences?

Sure. That's a thick one

It's really slow the first 2/3

I'd give it a shot

Guy goes to war with feds. Pretty funny

Am I gonna get side-eyed if I bring that to the camp? :eyes:

Maybe I better not lol

I doubt anyone has ever heard of it

Pretty obscure

I remember you speaking highly of it but I couldn't recall the particulars

If you like violence its pretty good

Never gave me an answer on the stencils

Would tomorrow be better? I have a meeting at the worst time tonight (8:30pm to 9pm)

I'm not even supposed to be working today... -_-

Yea that's fine dude

still have a few more to print

I am working tomorrow night at 9

have to leave by 830

That works out well, I can stop by a bit earlier and then go home for my meeting

Would... 6pm or so work?

That should be ok

You still plan on swinging by around 6?

Yes, if that works for you

Doing all my packing during the day

Yea that's fine.

Worst case scenario I can leave the stencils by my door if you can't make it before I head to work

I'm gonna get a nap in before work tonight but I

Let me know when you're on your way

Sorry, just saw this!
