Bought my ticket for DC. Excited to see you guys there.

Post: #102

Booked my NYC ticket - Roosh - could you elevate my status? Years ago you commented that I should have my own blog - I never forgot that but with 3 young kids and an expanding law practice, I really was unable to participate here although I read these forums daily -

With respect to some of the security concerns expressed here and as an overall point for guys that have not dealt with potential media scrutiny and protest action - over the last several years I have attended lectures by very controversial persons in New York City and elsewhere on a variety of topics:

My thoughts on the NYC meeting - I would predict there will be a group of noisy protestors outside that will be aggressive towards everyone, perhaps spitting or throwing flour, but that's all. They may try to block cars from coming down the street or block the entrance. Typically these are protests 'without a permit' and the police will move them across the street and put up a barricade. As this is Saturday afternoon in midtown Manhattan, the amount of foot traffic on the street will be huge and it will really make it difficult for protestors to do anything but make a lot of noise. Sometimes they will march around in a rectangle on the block and try to stop people from coming down the block on foot, or by car, but the police will knock that out because the midtown streets are so busy.

The worst thing that will happen is that someone will get in your face and take a close up photograph of your face. If you are concerned about that, put sunglasses on and a ball-cap which will make trying to find you on the internet impossible. I have had this happen to me.

If something happens in NYC - it will be on account of 'anti-fa' - anarchist groups. These guys largely live in 'communes' rent free and steal for a living and live for street action. One of their planks is militant feminism and pro-abortion advocacy. These guys are problematic because they have nothing to loose and will risk formal criminal charges. The other problem is that they are used to street fighting and disruption like this. I was tailed half-way down a block once and did not know it until I stopped to pick up a flyer from the 'leader.'

These guys are very easy to spot, typically wearing black boots, black clothing, anarchist rings, etc. Their strategy is to typically get to the location an hour before then when guests arrive, if you push past them into the entrance it will end up a fist fight. It is better to call the police, they will get there in 20 minutes or less. I know it might be fun to scrap with one of these guys, but if they show up and you get physical with them, you will have 10 guys on you before you know it and they fight dirty. The foregoing applies to events where the venue entrance is 'ground level' as opposed to a conference room within a hotel or other area where the public can enter into the building. If these guys decide to break into a closed meeting - then, given the skill set of Roosh readers - they made the biggest mistake of their lives. Its just at that point we are together as opposed to a solitary guy trying to walk into a building.

As for Washington DC - nothing happens there because of the sheer amount of security in the Capital and the way it is setup - the avalanche of law enforcement to a disturbance prevents what can happen in NYC from happening in DC.

One point - at an event i did not attend, an anarchist protestor was able to snatch a list of the invited and prepaid guests from the meeting organizer. I did not attend the event but I paid for a ticket. The names and addresses were then published on the internet. I got a cinder block through the window of my expensive European car some weeks later. Whoever did that - and if it was related I cant be sure, risked 6 months in jail, or even worse, because where I live in the suburbs, you will be nailed to the wall by prosecutors if caught doing something like that, and further, there are so many cops and LEO living in my area, a lot worse could happen to someone like that.

I would not have anyone carry a list of people on a clipboard, or leave it around anywhere it could 'walk away' or be snatched.

Finally, a word about making media statements and talking about this event - I'll give you an analogy: I attended a conference concerning a movement to 'end US foreign entanglements' run by an internationally known and well respected group. We were discussing how to avoid having the movement hijacked, or turned into something racist, and to also position the movement as something that would appeal to people across many political and religious spectrums. I jokingly mentioned that people involved should only speak about why they believe in peace, or that why we should return to the principles of the American founders - I joked that if we were not careful, we would end up having people when asked a question about foreign policy - then talk about aliens landing in Roswell, New Mexico. Without joking, one participant blurted back that they thought aliens were already here and living among us. He was serious - no joke.

If asked a question, or for an interview by someone outside, if you are really not good with words, or don't have a formulated response, just respond 'no comment' - or that the 'lecture was great and I have to incorporate more of the neo-masculine philosophy into my daily life.' Something simple like that. Leave the interviews to Roosh.

My 2 cents.

I'm going to post a RooshNYC meetup - I would love to get a cocktail with some of the attendees to discuss events.

Any chance you'll be adding more locations to this in the future? Chicago the first week of September? A date in LA or Vegas?

I'm considering it since I won't be around for the NYC one and have always wanted to check out Montreal. The only problem is if I can stop myself from going back to Russia.

Post: #108

One early bird Toronto seat is left.

He'll probably only be at the London event. If I remember correctly he was living in or around Belfast.

I know you are on a tight budget but you will get what you pay for.

Couple suggestions....
1. make sure the person will mic you with a wireless lavalier mic. (if you don't you won't get quality audio)

2. since it's an event it's fairly important to get a second shot. will be boring without any cut away shots. this can be a wide shot that you just cut to during editing but you will need this shot for various reasons

3. do you want audio from the questions? in this case you will need to have a wireless handheld mic for the audience

4. make sure you have someone that understands how important GOOD audio is... .otherwise it will be hard to watch.

there are many things that you should be asking whoever you hire but if you don't have good audio and a second cut away shot it will be very tough to watch more than a couple minutes

I have a ticket to Toronto but I won't be able to make it. If anybody wants it I will gladly give it away. PM me please.

Berlin lecture is tomorrow. Looks like about 40 guys in total.

Post: #119

Should we bring something to take notes or no? Laptop, Ipad, smartphone, pen/paper, stone tablet?

Post: #120

Hi guys,

I have two tickets to the London showing on July 4th in or near Earl's Court and can no longer attend. One is general admin and one is early bird but seating is unreserved so you can sit together.

Total cost is $108 (face value). The ticket comes in email format but I'm happy to meet face to face if preferred, I live in West London, or alternatively we can sort out payment online.

If anyone is interested give me a shout,

Cheers

Some guys in Berlin did take some notes. A small notepad and pen should be more than enough.
