17X-DAY JULY 1 - 6, "2014," Wisteria Campground about 20 minutes from Athens, Ohio |
STUFF! DOWNLOAD THE SCHEDULE PDF also: VISIONARY ART OF 17X-DAY
This is THE SubGenius World Destruction Event and Annual Migration to our spawning grounds!
ARISE, MUTANTS!
As always, our annual main SubGenius event is held in the middle of nowhere, is hard to get to without a car or ride, and requires camping (or else staying at a local motel in the very nice college town of Athens,Ohio, about 15 minutes away.)
If SubGeniuses were Normals, X-Day Drills and such would be held in Holiday Inn conference rooms. Like the gamers do. Like the sci-fi fans and the comics fans do. Like the Scientologists, Mary Kay sales people and the Grace Glory Baptists do.
But we are SubGeniuses, and X-Day is not a convention. IT IS AN ADVENTURE. A SURVIVAL TEST!!
It might be brutal at times. CORRECTION: it WILL be brutal at times.
But those times are exactly what make for the CONTRAST. They make the heights ever so much HIGHER. And, sometimes, when two SubGeniuses get stuck under a borrowed tarp in a rainstorm, and fall in love, and get married, and have kids, and get a divorce, THEY STILL COME BACK TO X-DAY.
Sure. You might meet your True Yeti Mate or have your peak experience at a comics con in a motel. But it will not be an ADVENTURE. It will not be THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE OF MAN AGAINST NATURE, AGAINST THE VERY ELEMENTS, AGAINST, YES, GOD ITSELF!! JEHOVAH ONE! ARE WE TRULY BUT SPACE PUPPETS?!? NAY, "BOB" SAYS, NAY!!!
"The brutal times form a protective barrier around all the SLACK at X-Day. You have to go through the brutality-field to get to the pure, rich, ambient slack that suffuses the event, but when you leave the Slack comes with you." -- Dok HolocaustVETERAN ADVICE FOR NOOBCAKES for X-Day

HOW MUCH??? Only $35. The cost is not very brutal. $35 for the whole week -- for ordained SubGenius Ministers. If you aren't ordained yet, you'll have to spend another $35 to become ordained. A CHEAP PRICE for SALVATION, if you think about it. Also a cheap price for ANY weekend-long, totally spectacular and weird campout -freakout-musical/religious event. You can register at the event (after 1 pm each day).
NOTE: CAMPING is another $15 per person, paid to Wisteria. There are motels nearby, in Athens, Pomeroy, Ravenswood WV, and Carpenter.

X-Day Souvenir Propaganda Garments and Other Products
Wonderful souvenirs to cherish! -- Touching reminders of the last days of your life on planet Earth and your liberation by Dobbs. Shirts, hoodies, kids' clothes, mugs, steins, Liquid Frop Bottles, all emblazoned with the new X-Day art by Dr. Legume and/or this year's antique bug porn "squirrel shots.".
For the careless and CARLESS: HOW TO GET THERE
Priestess Pisces (main organizer) says: Greyhound will bring you right to Athens, Ohio, which is a mere spitting distance from Wisteria, and we can get a friendly Yeti to give you a ride in. For air travelers, Wisteria recommends the Port Columbus International Airport, and again, we have Friendly Yeti Volunteers making runs back and forth if you arrange it with Pisces. Train service in the area isn't as nice, however. You should also ask around on the 17X-Day Facebook Page, our various SubGenius Internet forums, the chat room and the RIDES BOARD.
Until June 28 YOU CAN CALL OUR TOLL-FREE NUMBER IF YOU HAVE SECURITY QUESTIONS:
1-888-669-2323 (if you leave your phone number on our message machine, do so S L O W L Y and CLEARLY).
You can become as involved as you want, way ahead of time, via

You'll be able to tell your great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandkids, "I was at the X-Day Final Gathering in legendary Wisteria... Yep! 'Fropped up with the great Dr. Hal hisself there... even fucked Connie Dobbs! And "Bob" fucked me -- right good, I'd say!"
"The X-Day house party and fin d'seacle freak show "parade" is something even the back-to-gabbers do, with a pumped up number of beats per minute, ten pils down your gob for 20 hours of chomping your bit, no ambience save for a couple of yellow cube lights haven't been able to kill.
"Also consider the fact that bouncing around on bad 'frop (probably Lunk, if nothing worse) or bad Church Air (probably jenkem, if nothing worse) is considered a definite no-no, never mind what you heard. And then, is it really your idea of fun to stand around some crossroads with no clue as to your whereabouts, with an Ohio map in hand which has snakes for roads crawling about, because you're hallucinating like an oilslide? Well then, simply get to know a few people first, which is not such a hard thing to do at X-Day Drill, and all kinds of possibilities will, if need be, arise by their own accord. In the meantime, remember: there's much more to be discovered!" - X-Day Guidebook (well actually from an Amsterdam guide book, but it works)
