Went to a surprise location...

In central Maine, town of about 3,000, pretty serious cult territory but about 70 - 100 came out, some from other towns further up the road.

I didn't get any pictures, sorry. I didn't have anything yellow to wear so I went to the hardware store and got a roll of yellow survey ribbon and went through the crowd offering strips for people without any yellow clothes on. Used up more than half the roll!

Also didn't get any chants going as the crowd was split into four groups at a busy intersection. We had a couple coal-rollers go by, we laughed at them; and a couple people on motorcycles and flags trying to impress us. They all made a couple passes and didn't get what they wanted so they left. I suggested that the coal-rollers probably ran out of empty beer cans to trade in so they could buy more diesel.

It was a lot of fun, mostly over 50 but there were some young adults, everyone was upbeat and we had a lot of honking horns go by.
