If you hear about some kind of a SubGenius party or something on July 5th
be sure and let us know. Unfortunately, this year we all have to go to
Sherman, New York for a bunch of really boring Church business meetings and
seminars.

Oh, yeah, that saucer stuff? Sure. That's all bullshit. Just a FUNNY JOKE.
Just a way for Dobbs to get $30 out of people. That's all. You don't NEED
that MEMBERSHIP CARD or anything.

!!!!

And ya'll wonder why I get impatient sometimes. "The saucer stuff is
bullshit..." HMMPHH!!! And I suppose that saucer stuff was "bullshit" to
those 39 Heaven's Gaters! Shheeeesh.

Show some respect for our religion, man!

Well, they don't have a CURFEW, at Brushwood, for one thing. You can play
the music at top volume ALL NIGHT LONG and there are NO COPS besides the
Legume's S.L.A.K. squad and SPUTUM.

YOU PEOPLE WANT TO DO THIS in a god damn HOTEL, like a SCI FI CON??!?!?
I'll tell you WHAT sirmaam. at 7 am July 5 98 I plan to be under the OPEN
SKY with a PURPLE CLOTH DRAPED OVER MY FACE and brand new Nikes. Well, I
dunno, maybe Rebok. Maybe a gold cloth? Whatever.

Tarla, you know how mercilessly hot it is here in July.

Another thing: There are a lot more SubGenii in that part of the country,
due mainly to the radio show, I guess, or else maybe it's just that the
preachers sound funnier to yankees.

Naked babes and even men are a necessary ingredient for a proper SubGenius
cult shindig, as well. And gigantic cannisters of Church Air, 20 stories
tall. And FIRE. Large burning things. Screams, gunshots, model rockets,
fireworks, whiskey bottles flying through the air, REAL LOUD ELECTRIC
GUITARS. TONS OF DRUGS like BEER and that weird Yeagermeister stuff that
Legume and Bleepo and Sterno and them are always glagging.Frop clouds you
can cut with a chainsaw. YOU know.

You want the swimming pool? Brushwood has a pool. Has real nice showers. A
nice little town 10 minutes away where you can get anything you need.

No TV. No computers.

AHHH!!!! NOW I think I see where the REAL problem is.

It's The X Files isn't it. ISN'T IT. You don't want to miss the X-Files.

Action: Stang throws up his hands in resignation and disgust.

Action: Tarla throws up.

Yuk yuk, jes' kiddin' hon. But sneeriously though. A sci fi con in a hotel
is what you'll get in Dallas.

Look, we SCOPED OUT the WACO facility last week... NOTHIN' there but a row
of burnt toilets and a stack of bricks. We can't do it THERE. Dealy Plaza
would be the other logical place but BELIEVE ME -- the Dallas cops are not
going to be happy with the abovementioned party happening downtown at the
crack of dawn.

Although I can see how ... if you COULDN'T travel to New York... hmmm.
Well, if you do, videotape it so I can watch it on the Escape Vessels
later.

THAT'S RIGHT, FRIDAY!!

You people? Miss Friday Jones is a GOOD SubGenius.

It's true that the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS at that moment will be that you
have your SubGenius Minister's Membership Card in hour hot little hand.
Don't matter where you are, if you're asleep or awake.

Judging from the Drills, most of you WILL be passed out. We could learn
something from that Heaven's Gate bunch. THEY understood DISCIPLINE.

And besides, since MOST SubGeniuses aren't going to be ABLE to go ANYPLACE
special, I would imagine that there would be various "LOCAL SAUCER
LANDINGS" or whathaveyou. Maybe SubGenii in each city-state should start
thinking about hosting such things. The L.A. X-Day. The New Orleans X-Day.
The Chicago X-Day. etc. Mustn't forget the Bumfuck, Egypt X-Day.

The problem is, HOSTING things is a SLACKLESS JOB. It's WORK, and X-Day is
our main religious holiday!

So we need lots of YOUNG, EAGER, TOTALLY INEXPERIENCED SUBGENII to find
places to hold these gatherings and "host" them. Because nobody OLD, JADED
and EXPERIENCED, in his RIGHT MIND, would do such a thing... Stang said,
hypocritically, having just committed to hosting at least two more huge
ones.

It is, it's hell, unless you're indoors, and indoors is expensive, and NO,
there will NOT be a big X-Day party in MY house, NO WAY!!!!

Such things used to happen a lot. Once we had I think 14 guests sleeping in
our old house on Victor, the nights of the First World SubCon, 1981. My DAD
happened to come by in the morning -- opened the door, and there in a
sleeping bag on my floor was a BLACK MAN and a WHITE GIRL!! HIPPIES! And
the whole place was full of them. One of them was tENTATIVELY, a
cONVENIENCE, who was totally weird looking long before tattoos, piercing
and weird baldheadedness was ultra trendy. Yep, them was lean years back
then, but the SubDeemies BELIEVED in something back then. Back when I was a
Zombie... things were different.

Speaking of Janor, I guess along with the X-Day shows I should do an All
Janor Hour of Slack. There's some pretty cosmic stuff on his cable access
videos. Also he recorded a new song called MY GRILFRIENDS CAR, a
Springsteen take-off... it REALLY sounds AWFUL.

Now THERE'S a worthy goal for some industrious SubGenius. RAISE MONEY TO
GET STERNO AND JANOR TO THE X-DAY DRILL. What would a plane ticket be...
$300 or so if you got a good deal. Think of it. TOLD THE JUDGE performed by
the original Fart Dog Explosion (Drs. 4 "Bob," Wotan and Corpses).

Has anybody heard from PHILO lately? That sumbitch... his email NEVER
WORKS. I guess I could PHONE. Huh. I FORGOT about that device... the phone.
I'll have to try using that thing again someday. I remember it was fun
sometimes.

On 5th July, 1998, I plan to be sitting on my roof with a cooler full of
soft drinks. You're all welcome to join me. It's a pretty steep roof,
though.

Oh fer goddsakes people...Dallas is a BIG CITY. It has air
conditioning and almost NO tarantulas in town.

Frankly, I'd like MY last days to be in a place where there's more
than one flush toilet.

Mostly because Chautauqua Institution (http://www.chautauqua-inst.org/)
is only about twelve miles east of Brushwood.

The Amish aren't into that thing, really. They can't be open on Sunday.
Religious convenants. And they are in the other corner of the county, 25
miles away and across Chautauqua Lake, around Sinclairville and
Forestville.

But, a perusal of the telephone directory reveals the following, in
terms of lodging.

Right in Chautauqua Institution we have:

Athaneum Hotel
Lake Drive
716-357-4444

The Baker Hotel
14 Miller Drive
716-357-2805

Chautauqua Inn
16 North Terrace
716-357-3085

The Spencer Hotel
25 Palestine Avenue
716-357-3785

In the surrounding area, typically no more than twenty miles away, we
have:

Bemus Point Lakeside Cottages
50 Lakeside Drive
Bemus Point
716-386-2535

Budget Inn
2-14 East Main St
Falconer
716-665-4410

Chautauqua Lake Efficiency Apartments and Hotel
Route 430

716-789-2935

Snow Ridge Motel
Portage Road
Mayville
716-753-2712

Star Motel
270 East Fairmount Avenue
Lakewood
716-763-8578

Stuart Manor Bed and Breakfast
Prendergast Point
716-789-9902

With that list, you should find something. Remember, folks, summer is
peak season, with all the activities at Chautauqua Institution. Call
early, but not necessarily often.

It is an exercise for the reader to determine the best way to get to
each of those facilities when street numbers are known. Otherwise,
you'll have to go with the community name and then ask for directions.

Most likely, you may not find these addresses in any electronic phone
book because all the telephone companies servicing the above hotels are
independents, either Alltel or Chautauqua and Erie Telephone.

Also check out the Chautauqua Web (http://www.c1web.com/) for more fun
things to do in the area. For example, if you are staying in Bemus
Point, take the ferry across the lake to Stow, then drive and turn left
to Route 394 east to the Stow exit of Route 17, then go west to Sherman.
The ferry closes before the fun at Brushwood ends, so you'll have to
take the Veterans Memorial Bridge of Route 17 across the lake. Or you
can stay with Route 430 east through Mayville and Midway Park to Bemus
Point.

(I'll get this text added to the web site that I work on for this.)

She's right, y'know. "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the
right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you." You're not clowns and
you're not jokers, you're Subgenii-- nothing's funny. And if she's
ALREADY in the middle, you have no choice but to be stuck in the middle
with her. Unless you can think of song lyrics that portray the middle
in a NEGATIVE light...
Oops, just thought of them. "There's got to be something better
than in the middle"... well, still. Until you can figure out WHAT'S
better than in the middle, you're stuck there, with Tarla.

Negative light? N-Lite? Anyway, here's what I'm thinking. There's a
way you could call us Subgenii "normal" folks, because there's a
coherency to what we do; we have a functional and sensible way of life.
That's the difference between me and a schizophrenic; I answered a bunch
of the control questions on the MMPI "wrong", but I had sensible and
reasonable reasons for answering them the way I did. Many extremists
distance themselves from reality even farther than middle-of-the-road
types, but by conjoining the most ludicrous aspects of fanatics of all
types, we serve to exaggerate the incompetencies of everyday society and
to illuminate the common threads among the harbingers of the bizarre
and incorporate them into a communicable worldview. Or something.
So in that sense, we _are_ the New Traditionalists.

: Oops, just thought of them. "There's got to be something better

The middle is still on the surface. We're dealing with, uh, post-
geographical worldviews here. Was that pretentious enough for ya?
