Long before the event actually happens, we already have legends about it. Check out this X-DAY DRILL TALE by Rev. Friday Jones.
And, the fights and recriminations are already breaking out! Check this exchange of mail between JESUS and his ANONYMOUS ENEMY.
BRUSHWOOD is just outside the village of Sherman in southwestern New York state, an hour from the Eerie airport and about 2.5 hours' drive from Cleveland or Buffalo. This is the site of the infamous Starwood neopagan gatherings -- 180 lush acres of rolling hills and majestic woodlands, with indoor hot showers, flush toilets, a roofed swimming pool and hot-tub area, a giant tent for holding tent-show devivals, and enough electrical power to keep TEN THOUSAND DOKTORBANDS CRANKING OUT THE HITS USING ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT, WHILE BREATHING CHURCH AIR, AND PERFORMING NASAL SEX, STARK NAKED, RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, ALL NIGHT LONG!! That's right, you can REALLY LET YOUR TRUE YETI NOSE HAIR DOWN at THIS little campground! (It's "clothing optional"! SEE "The Swingin' Meat Jesus!")
It'll scare the shit out of the norm-worms and PROBABLY US TOO!!
But this isn't the sleazy poebucker set-up that The Pink Inside You fears. Brushwood is COMFORTABLE. The situation is SECURE. We will have our OWN "police." The folks who run the site, and the town nearby, have been doing this for YEARS with the PAGANS, and are COOL with "BOB"! THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE to PRACTICE and DRILL for the UTTER MOUTH-WATERING SLACK we'll have to undergo come 1998!! NONE MAY STOP US -- and NONE MAY ESCAPE ONCE THE GATE CLOSES!!
This isn't a "maybe," nor one of those "if there are enough people;" we've already got the site reserved; IT WILL HAPPEN!!! The SubGenius contingent of Cleveland's A.C.E., who have run Starwood successfully for 13 years, will be there to help make your visit the INSANE, UNFORGETTABLE, NERVOUS-SYSTEM-RAPING EXPERIENCE that it SHOULD be... and to help us FREAK OUT the STUFFED-SHIRT "RESERVED" SUBGENII until THEY TOO JOIN THE "ORGY"!
THIS IS IT! This is where things start getting REALLY REAL! You'll notice we haven't mentioned any PREACHERS, BANDS or "SHOWS" yet. That's because those things will be YOU on X-Day!!! You wanna RANT?? Get up there and RANT! Audition for the next Slack Crusade Tour! You wanna show off your COOL SHIT?? The stage is YOURS. You want to get SO DRUNK that you waddle around with your pants around your ankles, drooling, before toppling over into the pond? THIS IS THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR IT!! WE aren't gonna plan a GOD DAMNED THING!!
The ONLY RULE is... DON'T SULLY ANYBODY ELSE'S SLACK. (NOTE: even FAKE guns and rocket launchers are highly illegal in NY.) If you fuck up or piss us off, we won't hesitate to have you physically thrown out by big burly S.L.A.K. Squad goons and/or THE MAN.
CLENCH SHUT YOUR EYES AND STRUGGLE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, TREMBLING AND SHAKING, SWEAT POURING OFF YOU, TO TRY TO IMAGINE...
SAUCERS WILL SCREAM OVERHEAD! GREYS will SKULK in the BUSHES! ACTUAL LIVE YETIS will MATERIALIZE by YOUR CAMPFIRE! YOU'LL FINALLY MEET YOUR TRUE YETI MATE AND FUCK WILDLY IN THE BUSHES! YOU WILL BECOME YOUR OWN HERO!! YOU WILL MEET FRIENDS FOR LIFE WHO WILL GET YOU RICH WITHOUT WORKING!! And it won't just be a raggedy bunch of SubGeniuses wandering around -- it'll be NAKED PAGAN WITCH CHICKS and STUDLY FROPMEISTERS DANCING NAKED AROUND HUGE BONFIRES (which happens pretty much every other weekend at Brushwood, ANYWAY). You will see and experience things that may SHOCK you... that may even PERMANENTLY TRAUMATIZE and SCAR you. That's OKAY. It's all part of Dobbs' UNDERPLAN.

Bring tent, sleeping bag, flashlight, food, cookstoves, first aid. (The water there is ok.) Nights can be VERY COLD even in July, so bring warm stuff.
DIRECTIONS TO BRUSHWOOD:
Find Sherman, NY on a NY map. It's off Rte. 17, west of Chautauqua Lake in the southwestern part of the state, at the very tip, where it's reaching for and almost touching Ohio. 430 runs through it; 76 crosses through it and Rt.17
Go to Sherman.
Sherman's only one block long. Main Street = 430. Go to the west end of Main (Ford dealer on the corner) and turn south onto Co.Rd. 15. Take 3 miles to first 4-way intersection, which is Bailey Hill Road. Turn right (west) on Bailey Hill and go 1 mile. Brushwood is on the left, with a sign. If you get lost, you can call Brushwood at 716-761-6750. For any other purpose, call the Devival Hotline: (216)556-0338
For more info, but probably not much more, call or email the DEVIVAL HOTLINE: (216)556-0338
Or send SASE to XDAY DRILL c/o SubGenius Foundation PO Box 140306, Dallas TX 75214, for info and "registration" form.
* Anyone wanting to put on something special, rant, or play, JUST SHOW UP AND DO IT. We DON'T plan on "organizing" this one AT ALL. Preachers or bands planning on ranting, etc., should let us know only so we can add you to the p.r.
X-DAY'S A-COMIN'!!!
PRIORITY SECRET: FOR HIERARCHY EYES ONLY!
PROPHECY ALERT!!!!
Looking through the original Book of the SubGenius (orange cover), I discovered that there was a misprint in the Dateline for Dominance. The dates 1996 and 1998 were REVERSED. Now this could very well be merely a misprint. But we cannot ignore the possibility that this is a new PROPHECY REVEALED. It could be that Dobbs , in his infinite stupidity, wrote the WRONG DATE on one of those moldy pizza napkins or motel receipts. But because "Bob" is such a lucky sonofabitch, the ineptitude of the publisher worked out in Dobbs' favor, correcting this important flaw in the Prophecies. I cannot claim this is a fact; it is merely a theory. Dare you take the chance? The shit is hitting the fan, brothers & sisters. The newly saved are leaving our devivals in droves. We may well pass our goal of a million new memberships by Friday. I predict that the Big One is coming. The signs are in the sky and burning cursed scars of land lay ahead like your rotting carcass stretched across the asphalt, slowly cooking on the hot sticky asphalt of Route 666. July 5, 1996. Minutes away, yet a slow agonizing eternity for the unsaved. The Church is in a turmoil. We must SAVE SOULS like madmen. The clock is Ticking.
-- LEGUME
Also at Brushwood in NY, Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. Legume will be preaching at
STARWOOD
SEE DETAILS NOW!!!
July 23-28
If you cannot make it to Starwood or the X-Day Drill #1, you are a loser and not fit to call yourself a SubGenius! However, you can vicariously experience the entire traveling Slack Crusade Tour in rivetting photos and blatantly exaggerated text!! Or listen to it on SUBGENIUS INTERNET RADIO!! WE BLAZED OUR WAY ACROSS THE CONTINENT!!
