Comment with ideas and suggestions and I’ll edit them into this post if they’re not ludicrous.

  • Do- Print signs. Or stencil them. Or something that requires some pre-meditation and effort. But signs written in pen or thin texta aren’t visible at a distance of more than a few feet. Additionally, the time you put into planning your sign may be what you need to realise that “Fuck $hoentology” may not be exactly the phrase to draw in the public.
  • Don’t- Give your signs to members of the public. This was at direct suggestion of the police present on Sunday after they were alerted that those two drunken clownboats weren’t actually with us. It makes it all too easy for troublemakers to cause a disturbance and get away with it.
