It would seem that Homeland Security is in conflict with us having a parade
this year for Portland's Burningman Diversion Decompression.
All neighborhood and community involvement permits are being denied for the
period of time that the Top Officials Exercise 4 [TOPOFF-4] will be
happening, so that all traffic cops can be assigned to these tactical
maneuvers. In particular, on the day of Saturday, 20 October 2007 there
will be a “Dirty Bomb” exercise out by the PDX airport with fake motorcades
for fake visiting dignitaries.
North American Aerospace Defense Command [NORAD] and U.S. Northern Command
along with U.S. Pacific Command, the Department of Homeland Security as well
as local, state and other federal responders will exercise their response
abilities against a variety of potential threats during Exercise Vigilant
Shield '08, a U.S. Joint Forces Command-supported Department of Defense
exercise for homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities
missions. VS-08 will be conducted concurrent with TOPOFF-4, the nation's
premier exercise of terrorism preparedness sponsored by the Department of
Homeland Security, and several other linked exercises as part of the
National Level Exercise 1-08.
Translation...
No parade for us...
Little video from last year's parade:

in other news, Ood took a trip to San Fransisco a few months ago, he was cockblocking for the band Kiss Bank.
I didn't know it but it was the begining of the end for his involvment with this circus.
So now Ood is out and that is that, nuff said.
I just got the new circus a gig in November at a place called Chaos cafe, it's a sweet all ages venue that will give 10% discounts on food if you have a bike helmet on.
Much more later....
I don't want to give too much away

That also happens to be the day of the Keep Portland Weird festival downtown at the library, and the Annual Zombie Walk, and a few other events... maybe a parade is too much Order for what the day demands? That's some serious Greyface joujou... don't let your chaotic celebrations be countered, just redirected, if they need be.
