do not be afraid sisters and brothers
to download this little bit of heaven!

how do i join this action rev. billy?

my children you must
download the vr-sitin tool onto your harddrive
into any folder you wish or make one for it.

go to your folder and click:

start.html

you must only use netscape 4.0 and up. –
no ie sisters and brothers!!

alleluhiah!!

you will then be given 2 type of vr- sitin functions.

1) is a draw or trace your action.

with your mouse make a drawing on the
white space with your mouse.

this will cause the vr - sit in tool to randomly sit on
different starbucks urls that represent your drawing.
it will only function if you draw. if you stop drawing
it will stop the sitin action.

2) this is the traditional vr - sitin.

just click it on  and the tool will
start the sitin action on starbucks automatically.
just leave your browser on (you can
minimize your brower if you feel like it).

3) if the cybercops come they will try
to use a counter_scripts against us and
try to shut the sitin down by making it
difficult.

but on the good side - the more folks
join the more difficult it is for them
to shut us all down. blessed be!!

and now sisters and brothers a word from rev. billy:

children welcome to the church of stop shopping.
this week we are punishing that cancer in earth tones, starbucks.

in particular the two starbucks at 47th and 9th avenue
and on 49th between 9th and 10th avenues are
examples of shops that aren’t required to make money.
they just act as loss leaders, attacking owner-run
businesses, financed by funny money from nasdaq.

nothing from our neighborhood ever indicated an interest.
we will protect  the coffee pot and the galaxy café at 49th
and 47th and 9th ave.  the owners of these two funky
and glorious community spots will be conferred "comic sainthood."
in our church and we hope it will help them face the strange
petit bourgoies culture of $3 lattes with faux italian
names.  alleluhiah!! we're declaring a "franchise free zone,"
from the blockbusters at 42nd tothe duane reade on 50th.
only a sin-pit of a starbucks breaks the string of long-time
neighborhood shops...  and the morebucksis dangerously
close to our theater at st. clement's.

they will feel the wrath of... of... all you digital sprits!!

for those of you with the power of
 telelportation please join us at
