Jesika German and Puerto Rican are Irish. Just as African is Irish. So is Asian. French and Anglo arent Irish though. Well french might be. But definitely not Anglo. Ok well maybe anglo is also. In any case those who have supported this rock.
Lin thanks for the post of the flyer, it rocks.
Job well done!
Just got back from Dallas. It was so awesome, I can't believe it. I got up there yesterday from Austin and went to Jesika's house to stay (after spending 2 hours in the city lost.. heheheh -- you know us little townies!). We spent last night making signs with Bob (an elder from Dallas that I've known since the first Apostofest in 1995), Jesika, Lin, myself, and Sharon. We were hoping the Oklahoma girls would come last night, but we were sad when we didn't see them. Jesika's roommate also hung out with us (he taught me how to shoot a bow and arrow). We all stayed up late partying and making our signs. Bob brought us a little lamb to bring to the Kingdom Hall. Lin brought three little lambs. I stopped at three places on the way to Dallas and couldn't find *any* lambs! <argh!> They are such nice people: all of them! =) We all got up real early, real hung over.. heheheh. Jesika's roommate went with us for support. We loaded up our signs, our lamb, and Jesika ALMOST forgot the flyers! But she did remember her speech.. ehhehh. She looked real purty. So we got speeding over to the Kingdom Hall. I had busily put out press releases to the media on Monday night, along with Lin and Jesika... we didn't know who/when they would show up if any. We were kinda nervous as we unloaded our signs and stood on the corner of the intersection. Jesika handed out flyers to passerby in cars (one guy even gave us a handfull of God Bless America bumper stickers--grin). I started passing flyers on my side of the street, but I musta looked scary cuz no one would open their window to take one! =( I couldn't stand rejection anymore, so I just gave them to Jess, and she finished passing them out. Travis showed up so we gave him a sign, then Kelley from Oklahoma City got there. We gave her a sign. She said she felt like a JW in how she was standing with her hand behind her back. It was hotter'n blazes out there, too. Bluck. Sticky. This KH is in the nicest part of Dallas, the snooty neighborhood, but Travis told us he thought it was mostly poorer people from Central and South Dallas. Then this really strange blonde woman came over to me saying she was curious (she drove up in the parking lot -- I thought I smelled a rat) and read my sign and I explained to her why we were there. She got the look on her face like she just smelled a stunk and went running back to her car. I figured it wouldn't be long before there would be some Hoovers there. A radio station car pulled up, but they were smart and stayed in their car until the time for the press conference (10:30). They had their A/C blasting.. heheheh. Jesika then went over to their car at 10:30 and they came out and interviewed her. She did a real good job and I am very proud of her. The reporters didn't really want to seem to stick to the script but kept asking questions. Then a man from Channel 8 Dallas came and was talking to us all... Jesika took the lamb, stuck it on the door and put a sign in the handle of the door. Then a JW woman drove up, jumped out of her car and threw the lamb and sign in the parking lot. We had signs stuck in the grass all around the KH. She told Jesika that we shouldn't be there "stirring up trouble" or whatever and then drove off after telling us she was going to call an Elder. Woooo... shakin in our boots. The Channel 8 guy was hopped up on getting a story, but they had an emergency that morning and couldn't bring a camera crew. He said he wished he would have. But he said he's going to do a special piece for the news in two weeks and interview all of us, even the gals in Oklahoma! YAY! He was very kind and couldn't believe all the things we were telling him. He almost looked incredulous. Meanwhile Jesika, I, and Kelley went and put the lamb back on the door and the sign. An Elder drove up and told Jesika she forgot her stuff, she said "no, sir, it's yours." We went back to talk to the reporter. He said he wants to do a short documentary for the news, and soon so that it would be a promo piece for the march on New York. COOL BEANZ!!!!! Then the other two gals from Oklahoma finally showed up! Yowza.. wish they woulda been there earlier!!! We loved meeting them and we all just got along great. Then we all got in our cars and went for a nice cool drink. The elder was strutting around in the KH parking lot like a little banty rooster talking on his cell phone: so piously and arrogantly. BLAH. So as soon as we drove out of the parking lot, the first lady comes back and starts taking our signs out of the ground. hehheheheheh... it was wonderful! Wish you all could have been there.

BREEZE
Way to go, Jesika! You got STYLE! Great flyer, Lin - just enough to catch people's attention. Now, how much is that poor elder's cell phone bill going to be after he got done talking to Brooklyn Legal?
Good work Jess, Country Gal, and Valis. Thought the "elder" comment to be pretty funny as well as the "you forgot your stuff". OMG, "you forgot your stuff". What was he expecting you to do, take your signs down. LOL. "Please country gal, do what Mr. elder says and take your signs away. You may have accidently left them there. HAHAHAHAHA."

Well, that Elder, living in Dallas, should know better than to mess with a Greek and a Puerto Rican, and Texans on top of it... heheheh! He was *so* unbelievably pompous, with his white tailored shirt on, with his cell phone, just strutting around like Pharoah. <shivers> I know what we forgot: we forgot to assimilate. <grin> Borg-style.

Newsweek article? Got to keep spreading da good news.

Jesika, and all who were there -
Excellent!!
Oh - your reaction to the sister who said she was calling an elder??
"Sisters, and bibles, and elders - Oh MY!" - visualize Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz
