It was a great day for a split picket, temperature very nice, sun shining. Gregg and I put in one tape (hour and a half) starting about 1:30. Then we broke for a long lunch and came back about 5:40 for another session.

The org had a tent out with table and chairs to sucker in the public.

There were few takers Gregg saw. When Gregg showed up Mario could be heard running about saying "f*ck, f*ck, f*ck" in total frustration.

There wasn't a lot to note about the first session. From my viewpoint 100 feet up Yonge St. I had the usual bunch of people who were highly appreciative of people taking on the cult. The cult was largely in hiding for Gregg.

Lunch was a most interesting business. We had a visitor meet us for a late lunch in the Artful Dodger and join the second picket. The cult may by now know who it was, but for the time being I will just call her Ms X. (Not to be confused with Miss X who can be found in the archives of ars. The conversation was most interesting and shows the extreme value of the net in dealing with cults.

Anyway, when Ms X was picketing with us one of the cult drones got right in her face with a camera.

Gregg got good tape of one incident in the late picket. Goon Squad members Brian McPherson and Velcro Kitty aka Gwen Jones were trying to rag at Gregg, who promptly played some head games on them. Pat Felske was watching with full approval of these OSA thugs as "Big Mike"

showed up, pushed Gregg and grabbed a handful of flyers out of Gregg's hand. Caught nicely on tape too. I saw this from up the block because I just happened to be looking that direction. Gregg was able to recover the Xenu flyers to the extreme surprise of the cultie. We are now sitting on a ridiculous amount of good segments of tape that really need to find a place on the net with a lot of bandwidth.

The point of the late picket is that the Toronto org had some kind of event going, something about going OT in CW. The attendance was pathetic. Gregg counted the chairs (160) and the people who showed up. They filled about 1/4 of the chairs. Most of the people Gregg recognized as tapped out old timers. There were 10 or fewer new faces *and most of them got a Xenu flyer.* Even if the cult took the flyers away from them inside the door, the people know they can look it up on the net.

One woman asked Gregg about his religion which led off into a discussion of what scientology has done to try to mess with his trademark. Gregg thought she was just a citizen but she went in with a Xenu flyer in her hand--which was promptly confiscated when she went through the door.

They tried at one point to be sure Gregg's voice about the lack of even a *single* OT did not get in, some Day Org flunkies locked a door in violation of the fire regulations. After Gregg pointed out to Mario he had their violation of the fire code on tape, Mario unlocked the door. At the very end Dan Bryington showed up. That boy is *still* disturbed by the www.danbryenton.isgay.com site. We think they are bringing back the goon squad in defiance of scientology headquarters telling them to be in hiding mode.

Gregg gave out about a hundred Xenu flyers. I must have given out something like 250 of several kinds for the whole day. I didn't get a count on how many Ms X gave out, but Gregg said lots of people were coming by with flyers in their hands. It is getting harder to give out flyers because such a high fraction of the people already have taken one.

I am reluctant to go into too much detail about some of the intelligence we obtained at this picket beside the poor turnout.

However, I will say the cult is grasping at straws in telling their people how they will handle *me* through the Bob and Stacy situation in CW.
