    Rebellion report: The Pasadena Star news interviewed us. Rene and I found some comrades with gas masks. We got kicked out of the Apple Store and Target. Rene will be at the Grove at 3PM. We have pictures and Rene filmed.

    Is there a way to post a document on this meet up thing? I wrote minutes from our meeting but I can't post all the text in this little space. Might have to do it in chunks. Sorry everyone.

    Hola, sorry for not being so involved in planning. So I can't make it on Wednesday but I want to partake in the festivities. I don't have and have no idea how to get a grim reaper outfit on short notice.
    I really like the zombie walk idea! Since there are so many of us maybe we can have two teams. One, a group of reapers and the other a group of shopping zombies. May make for some fun street theatre when they cross paths.....
    Any thoughts?

    So i was at La Zona Rosa yesterday (Sunday 11/21/10) from about 1:15-2:30. Anybody else there? I had an Interesting experience searching for people and trying to make eye contact and get a signal from anyone that might be there for the same reason. I chuckled as i left because the Autonomy and awkwardness that i felt was so quintessentially L.A. I may have gotten confused on the dates but if not, it was an awesome experience to be so paranoid and not high. lol

      ha! i started up stairs and sat on the first chair by the stairs next to an old man reading the paper. i decide to go out side and i sat on the patio table directly in front of the entrance. I was reading "Infinitely Demanding". I guess that was was too subtle as a flag. lol. the real problem was there was no one there with a party more than two. oh well. it would be cool to confirm that there where 15 people there acting like CIA agents for a meet up to plan a little activism. :)

    How about we dress as the reaper or in black death costumery ala the plague season of black fridays of yore and wear signs reminding people to increase their debt cause they can't take it with them, all in a musical conga line? RED

    Hey Los Angeles jammers, looks like you have a good idea brewing for an action (Grim Reaper) and location (Old Town).

    Next step is to schedule a preliminary meeting for this weekend for a face-to-face planning session. Anyone have a favorite indie coffee shop near/in Old Town?

    Cool so does 8 work we.can also.meet at.Jones on Raymond or.zona Rosa.by target any ideas about signage

    Posted by rolin November 11, 2010

    I second Old Town, also it is a public place with public sidewalks, so no legal dangers. I canvass there and people, while mindless consumers are sympathetic to social causes.
    I like the idea of a booth "selling" samples of nothing, or suggesting charitable donations as gifts.
