26X-DAY Friday, June 30 - Wednesday, July 5 "2023" Florida AND New York

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: a resort campground in Florida, and one in rural New York!

3X-Day is back with more vengeance than ever! Covid wrecked our annual Church Slack-In and camp-out in 2020, and our great 2021 venue had to move across Florida in 2022, but this year we resume with 20-23 X-Day Vision... and you don't even need X-Day Glasses!

Land o' Id
3610 272nd Street East
Myakka City, Florida (near Sarasota/Tampa)

This is a proper Stangian Orthodox Traditional X-Day Gathering of the Tribes in the tradition of the 24 or so X-Day Drills hosted by SubGenius Foundation, previously held at Brushwood, Wisteria and the first Land o' Id site.

Location: Near Sarasota/Tampa at the new 10-acre resort property of Rev. Xzanthia Octoshroom -- with riverside forested camping on site, a large indoor stage/studio, and many motels in nearby Sarasota. Clothing optional. SubGenius-owned and operated! Admission to the whole festival is a discounted $44.95. (Church Membership also required.) Camping and prices to be determined, but probably relatively cheap.

OUR MOTTO: "WE PROMISE NOTHING!"

Here I sit
All broken hearted
On UFOs
I've not departed

This year was not
1998
I'll sit with you
Again we'll wait.

-- Onan

If Florida is impossibly inconvenient, some SubGeniuses may prefer the Northern alternative, "The Real X-Day" in Spencer, New York, in June -- details below. WHY NOT BOTH?

"The Real X-Day" (Their title)
Friday June 9 through Monday June 12
at
Fools Hill in Spencer, NY.

The land is completely forested except for a small clearing for the stage, which offers considerable shade and comfort. The venue offers tent camping in their gorgeous forest and provides a clean swimming pond wherein Dr. Hal shall perform a Naked Bobtism. There is also a bonfire area near the pond and stage area for burning "Bob" in effigy unless he makes good and destroys the Earth at precisely midnight on Friday the 9th.

WISTERIA, OHIO POSSIBILITIES: KEEP SCROLLING!

So, far, no one has stepped forward to organize a Wisteria gathering, but then, this is the first time we've mentioned it. Basically all of the Ohio event info (so far) could be 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 69, Rev. Stang can still travel, and run his mouth, and run a holy mail order business, but after 27 X-Day Drills and countless devivals, he can no longer TOTE, or drive long distances.)

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!!!
