			[9:32pm] jokeefe: We could ask to be in a less busy place
			[9:33pm] jokeefe: Trying to live stream the whole event we are there would be good
			[9:33pm] jokeefe: If we can get a taller tent, perhaps on milkcrates, that might work ok

			[9:35pm] Malt: if we wanted a lot of attention we could get a banner reading ASK US HOW TO HIDE FROM COPS

			[9:35pm] jokeefe: lol
			[9:36pm] jokeefe: I like that as a banner
			[9:36pm] jokeefe: thin, but long
			[9:37pm] Malt: we could stack some of the words, get fiddly with spacing
