An example of how demonstrations can be (well?) 'stacked'  

Every Friday people of conscience demonstrate from a variety of perspectives
against US govt tyranny abroad in Austin on the sidewalk at 11th St and Congress
Ave in front of Texas State Capital.  

This Friday (see original message below) some will go on to join another demonstration
of the life celebration type at Barton Springs in Zilker Park. 
 An aroused populace will better defend freedom; by using it...

Topless sunbathing? Get the bare facts

Subject: [austindemo] Fun action at the Springs this Friday!


PLEASE JOIN ---

Besides my "nekkid guy" story going in the Chronicle this Thursday (running

by Kinko's downtown - strangest thing...), looks like we're going to get a

clip also about "Critical Tits," not something I sought out - but Lauri 
LOVES to dig the Statesman folk whenever she can, (see below) and 
surprisingly thought our little action was newsworthy. --she must be hard up

this week!--  So we need maximum attendance to stave off any lurker types.

Please send this message FAR AND WIDE - it ain't CRITICAL with just 4 sets

of titties!  :-)

WOMENZ: Bring yourself and your exposed mammory glands! - and bring all your

bikini tops for loose menz.  Don't be shy - cuz we all are products of our

overly conservative society and are shy too, but let's don our personal 
hangups to help others get over theirs!!!  It ain't a big deal if everyone's

doing it, right?

MENZ: Come escorted by women (unless you know that you're in the 'in' -if 
you don't know, ask!) AND YOU MUST WEAR A BIKINI TOP in support of the 
action!!! (don't count on extras being there)-- No lurker/creep-o/drooler 
types, please!

OPTIONAL - signs demoralizing Jane Grieg's contempt for breasts! ;-)

CRITICAL TITS
Barton Springs Pool -east/hillside
6-8pm this Friday, August 2.


The bit that's going to appear in "Naked City" column (naturally!)-and I 
asked her to add 'no cameras' and there will be several people on hand to 
intercept a camera type person at first sighting, so don't be shy!:
