It’s a good idea to drink some water or sports drinks before you arrive to avoid dehydration. We also encourage every protester to wear a hat, sunglasses, and maybe a bandana, or even a full face mask, if you want to hide your identity from any Scientology stalkers. See you downtown!

What speakers which nights? Any press conference?

The entire thing is a press conference. The precise speaker schedule will not be announced until the last minute.

Yay! It is almost here!
I can hardly wait for the bus tour of the "Cancer that ate Clearwater"!!!

So... let's say I'm all excited about hearing John Sweeney speak. It's just a crap shoot about which time and day I should show up to hear him? Really? Not even a hint?

Think of it like a grab bag. If you don't get Sweeney you get DeWolf. Or Russell Miller. Or Geir Isene. Or John Duignan. Or...

It's not really a secret, JS is speaking on Monday and Tuesday, as to the precise time, not a clue. It's all livestreamed and posted on YouTube anyway.

any idea who on youtube would be best to follow for this? God knows there will be a thousand to choose from. Can't make it to FL, wouldn't want to miss any more than I have to. Don't want it all muddled up with OP soapboxes, either. Just wanna see the conference.

I'll post the answer to that ^ following a consultation with our technical team

I predict the speakers will be more interesting that the event itself, the cult would be insane to stir up trouble during this conference.

Then again, stupid and cult, stupid and cult, stupid and ...

As proven time and time again, they actually are insane. If nothing else, the appearance of 20 or so major league SPs/DBs at the mega-raid finale should stir up some sort of ridiculous lulz-bearing response.

Some ridiculous lulz-bearing response? Like what?

LOLZ

Can we bring a Marcabian SWAT team to the protest?

Having all these peeps speaking at the same event will be like having every Dr Who there's ever been (nine? ten?) appearing in the same episode of Dr Who.

Fans of Dr Who will understand what I mean.

Good question. Probably just wishful thinking on my part. Perhaps they'll just put the curtains up for 5 days and draw into a foetal position like the worthless, sniveling buffoons they've proven themselves to be. Perhaps that snot-nosed little coward David Miscavige has learned that anything his criminal organization does to "attack, never defend", in a world where everyone carries a camera, and where this particular group of SPs will be heavily armed with high-quality video equipment, will not be particularly great PR.

Still, a boy can wish for a John Allender appearance, can't he?

Complete with a "Ideal Borg" head camera

They always holed up back when we had big numbers for protests. I'd say that's what downtown CW will look like for the week.

The PIs and hired off-duty cops will not be hiding.

OSA and hired cops will be out for sure, but that's about it.

sorry if this has been answered, but will there be actual LIVE STREAM (www.ustream.com), or instead uploaded vids to youtube?

I like to eat my popcorn and waffles in real time. (heck, give me live streaming and I'll even donate - see how that works?)

There is live streamed planned. Vids will also be uploaded to youtube.

Very good indeed.
Just remember to build a shrine to me, its important.
Also the midget pole dancers.
Don't forget them Amx, I would be very disapoint..

I'm excited. Lets get this party started!!

I'm speaking at the conference. Be sure to watch me mention Cancer pants in my speech.

I will be watching closely. I also like shrines and midget pole dancers.

I can build a shrine, but I doubt DM or TC are gonna show up to dance.

Here ya go, darlin'.

I feel there my be something wrong with me. I love this place TOO much.

Didn't see this anywhere else. From Geir's website.
Coming to Florida this weekend

We will be joined by a Norwegian film crew, documenting our every move. I will be speaking on the first day of the six-day event along with prominent speakers on the subject of Scientology. It should prove to be an interesting experience. If you’d like to meet for a coffee, please contact me. I love to meet with new people and make new friends.

Geir makes us pretty cool.

Sorry, but nothing can make you cool AMA. Now go cough on someone.

You'll never be cooler than me and you know it. I'll save all the snotty tissues for you.

Yes. I'm SICK. So I get to plan Flag Down 2014 running a fever and all that entails.

Btw, AMA is running a shuttle service to and from the airport so hit her up with a PM if you need a ride! She likes meeting new people too!

I make both you and Xander cooler with my mear presences!!

True.
