Today, the Paraid went off with one MAJOR hitch. I, the organizer, was arrested prior to the actual parade. An anon had seen the Stress Test Cart at the top of Market Street and informed me. It was then decided that we should all go enturbulate to break in the new sign. It said 'Homophobic CULT'. Being the drama-queen that I am, I also hollered at the top of my lungs about the homophobic cult. Eventually, the Council cops asked me to stop and put away the sign. I refused... I mean, they are pretend pretend cops.

They repeated the request and I asked them if they were making it a legal requirement as an officer of the law. What with not being an officer of the law, he decided to get one involved. I stuck around for a while as he called for backup. Eventually, I got bored and we wandered back to the Org... or, I would have if not for the fact that I got collared. They soon had me away in the partyvan. Processing was boring, so I was talking ten-to-the-dozen... which explains why they had a doctor in to do a quick psych exam :P

I was never interviewed or charged, just released without issue.

After that, walked back into town and found the cart again, post-parade :'(

I bumped into an old-guard protester, had a bit of a natter, shouted about the fact that they've used E-Meters on Tomatos. A scilon, 'StressTestGuy', ended a session and came to talk to me. I reminded him that he's taller than me and that, in fact, he still has blue eyes. He tried to get my photo, but I turned and walked away (no mask today, mine's broken :|)

Eventually, I made my way back to the cart, comically ninjaing my way toward the cart. More enturbulation, having met up with the WONDERFUL Gailo, AnonFive, Baifag and NoNameYetFag.

Eventually, they packed up, and we trailed them through the Arndale Center... and St. Ann's Square... and along Deangate...

At this time, it was after 5, so we all headed to the pub
