Tustin January 16, 2010 Great raid in Tustin this morning. Roan dropped by to say hi. Making sure things went smoothly. Our newbie, affectionately dubbed Sammich. Two Sea Org'ers in da house today. Warm reception from the crew. The rootbeer and sammies were not a lie.
Re: January 16 Tustin, Ca Thank you for protesting my old org. It makes me feel all homesick. NOT! Some day, I may be in the area on a protest day. I love the vampire flight attendant (ideal borg uniform) riff. Nicely done! PS - parking lot shots would have been nice.
Tustin January 16, 2010 Tasty sandwiches and rootbeer by Sandwich Provider. Awesome signs provided by New Guys. Saw about a dozen cars enter the parking lot at 1pm, with people taking courses. Enturbulation ensued. Photos coming.

Re: January 16 Tustin, Ca Holy crap, I remember days when the parking lot would be that full at midnight on a Friday night. (Not even on a Wednesday night, that was a given.)
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 Check out the crappy, chipping paint on their sign. Thank you, everyone, for an excellent raid.
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 I've only seen Anon's in the new vampire uniforms! Just wonderin'..has anyone seen a single org staff wearing these?
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 The vampirish uniforms are an invention of David Miscavige. Seems David has been slow getting the Ideal Orgs up to snuff on the mandated apparel. Guess he's busy with all the worldwide PR flaps.
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 Yeah, I figured that staff had to pay for their own, so knew that wasn't gonna happen. Or if the org had to buy it, that wasn't gonna happen. Davey pay for it, ain't ever gonna happen. Likely there was yet another game (jeez) attached to it, like pay up millions of $$$$, and you get these awful uniforms. Yeah, that motivation would surely work. Ah, it's all getting more bizarre by the day.
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 Dear Davey: It has come to our attention that you have failed to get compliance with mandated uniforms in all orgs target. What are your crimes? Order DM to the RPF's RPF immediately. Do not pass Go, do not collect reserves, silk shirts or scotch. They'll be waiting for you. that is all
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 1. They're only for staff currently in their ideal orgs, which Tustin is not. 2. Much as I love calling them the vampire flight attendant uniforms, the red is the accent color only for Milano. Each ideal org has a different accent color. It's coordinated to their decor plan. 3. The uniforms are coming soon for the ideal orgs, there have been fittings. Apparently there are different pieces for warm weather orgs than those shown in the prior leak, and also apparently the first set is free to org staff.
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 wait. something free for staff? I'd expect to see that kind of news on major media outlets. (oh, wait first there's the kabillion $$ to make that ideal org) love the bit about coordinated decor plan tho. disappointing, this. The RPF cans were already being warmed up in anticipation
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 Here's a group shot, I got busted for not posting all my pix, but usually people just get on here faster than me:
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 I'm missing something. Where's the snow? (ps i love the "exploits the mentally ill" sign....true, and exploitable, ironically)
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 Nice signs, a good looking group! ...and you were ready for blue shirt guy. One day he'll join ya
Re: Tustin January 16, 2010 I know, it's so weird, right? They have to buy their books, auditors have to buy their own e-meters to audit paying public (really), but they get a free 20-piece uniform? I'm wondering how they'll handle the places that are really warm in summer and cold in winter -- two sets of uniforms? The coordinated decor plan was a surprise to me as well, but it does make sense. Now I want to see what the inside of Milano looks like. OC used a bunch of colors over the years -- blue, green, even brown. That sign's condition is absolutely pathetic.
