24X-DAY
JULY 2 - 5, "2021" Florida AND Ohio |
This is THE SubGenius World Destruction Event and Annual Migration to our spawning grounds!
ARISE, MUTANTS!
X-Day will be VERY different this year!
1) It won't just be a Drill this time
2) The live in-person event has grown to TWO sites: our usual Ohio campground, Wisteria, but also a NEW (to us) resort campground in Florida!
3) It will also be streamed live, which is how it happened last year with great success.
Yankees and others who treasure hanging out with old friends at Wisteria (and are too far from Florida) can do so just like in the old days! Those who want to try the Florida one, SIGN UP QUICK because only 50 can attend and 25 have already signed up. (Also, the Florida one is a bit more expensive.)
Those who will await the Saucers at home can attend virtually just like last year. Up to fifty people attended that and it was a lot of fun. The Florida event will be live-streamed separately. The Wisteria one might be streamed, IF the wifi and phone service improves in that locale.
The Florida event is at Land of ID, a clothing-optional campground in Land of Lakes, Florida, and is being organized by the folks at Hypercube: https://hypercubego.com/XDAY2021/
ALL of the Florida X-Day details are there.
Rev. Ivan Stang will be at the Florida one only (and possibly Dr. Philo Drummond and Dr. Hal likewise). Also expected there: Hypercube Labs, TTN, Danny Feedback, Trotskys Watercooler, Rubix Pube, SubG Kids, Negative at Night, Anna Barnes, Wyld Bill, Supershere Media Empire, Elvis Martini, Lord Ferg and peas. Virtual Acts will include Alcheministry Labs, The RATHOLE, Bill T Miller

WISTERIA, OHIO DETAILS: KEEP SCROLLING!
So, far, no one has stepped forward to organize the Wisteria gathering, but then, this is the first time we've mentioned it. Basically all of the Ohio event info (so far) is the same as in previous years. The decorations and the huge pulpit are already at Wisteria, locked up since 2019 with the Starwood Festival stuff. However, Stang won't be there to set up his ancient sound system or anything else. We're hoping some other X-Day old-timer can step up.
(At 67, Rev. Stang can still travel, and run his mouth, and run a holy mail order business, but after 26 X-Day Drills and countless devivals, he can no longer TOTE, or drive long distances.)
*Yes, we know that Hypercube is calling this the 25th Annual Drill. We don't know why. Maybe it has something remotely to do with the way Dr. Faux's name is actually pronounced NOTHING LIKE IT IS SPELLED.
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!!!

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. A cheap price for ANY weekend-long, totally spectacular and weird campout -freakout-musical/religious event. PRE-REGISTER HERE! -- or register at the event (after 1 pm each day).
NOTE: CAMPING is another $15 per person, paid to Wisteria, and unfortunately that goes for everybody; we can't pay your camping fees. 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
Greyhound will bring you right to Athens, Ohio, which is a mere spitting distance from Wisteria, and we might be able to get a friendly Yeti to give you a ride in. For air travelers, Wisteria recommends the Port Columbus International Airport, and again, we might have Friendly Yeti Volunteers making runs back and forth if you arrange it with Stang. Train service in the area isn't as nice, however. You should also ask around on the 22X-Day Facebook Page, our various SubGenius Internet forums, and the chat room.

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)
IT HAPPENED BEFORE!

THINGS WE NEED:
HELP from people who are not totally incompetent. We offer "JOBS" like trash clean-up, stage decoration, tech help, airport and bus station runs, product sales, etc., whereby you can work off some of your $35 entrance fee. This is called SLACK BARTER. Email Stang, who is in charge of that and just about everything else.
WILL YOU SUCK THE FINGER, OR GO WHERE IT POINTS?
On the week after X-Day, IF THERE IS ONE:
EXCLUSIVE for SUBGENIUSES ONLY:
SUPER BARGAIN ON STARWOOD FESTIVAL!
The Starwood organizers love SubGeniuses SO MUCH that, if you're with "Bob" and whether you were already at Wisteria for X-Day or not, you can enjoy the WHOLE WEEK of Starwood festival (July 12 through 18) for only $135.
For humans, Starwood costs $245. The weekend ALONE costs $135 for HUMANS! But SubGeniuses get the WHOLE WEEK after X-Day of over 150 workshops, music, and a really great party for that truly insane low low rate. That's over $100 savings just because you are a SubGenius!
That $135 INCLUDES WISTERIA CAMPING AND PARKING, PLUS the whole 7-day festival!
This is a truly Dobbs-Approved deal for a festival that's as weird as, but not as crowded as, Burning Man and the like. Starwood happens the week after X-Day week and is much larger, with great bands every night and nutty workshops all day. Many SubGenii (including Stang) have met True Yeti Mates at Starwood. And of course it includes a SubGenius devival led by Stang on Saturday afternoon, before the star bands and the enormous bonfire climax. "Bob" himself has even been known to show up!
Go to http://www.starwoodfestival.com/
But first! -- email Rev. Stang at stang@subgenius.com so he can reveal to you the SECRET CODE that gets dues-paid SubGenii this INCREDIBLE DEAL! He will also let Starwood bigwig Princess Wei 'R.' D'oh know you're coming. (This is easy because Stang and Wei are married.) She'll add your name to the Starwood list of the SAVED!
