Hmm...
X-Day was interesting this year. The bands that I knew would be great
were (always look forward to ESO, and now Little Fyodor), and the new
bands varied from crappy to incredible. There wasn't much ranting, but
what ranting there was was wonderful... Papa Joe outdid himself, and
Hellpope Huey NUKED the audience with his vocal torrents!
But... well, to be honest, there were some major lulls this year. It
seemed like the higherarky just hung out at Frop's place or in the
trailer, and hardly ever came out. In fact, MOST of the 'planned' events
were rather dull. The Bobbie Awards were absolutely sleep inducing... I'm
glad that some people who deserved it got recognized*, but watching it was
like watching the Oscars... only LESS humorous. The Calendar Signing was a
good idea, but was hardly an 'event'. The Flesh Cream Social was doomed
from the start (look at yourself and ask: who would want to eat whipped
cream off of YOU?). Body Painting had no takers (honestly, there's really
nothing sexual or fun about painting some girl's butt unless she's a
potential love/lust interest - it just SOUNDS good) except for a few
Connie-ites. Blood Wrestling was going well until Craig's "accident" (may
he rest in peace and may his zombie live long and well), and the Bobtism
is always fun, but that was about it as far as really fun and entertaining
Church sponsored events went.
(* And why didn't BILL T. MILLER get recognition? The first three years
worth of X-Days would NEVER have gone off as well without him! The man was
the MC and the DJ and the main performer at both X-Day Drills and was an
important part of X-Day 98! They should've gone back in time two extra
years and thrown a Bobbie his way, definitely.)
Fortunately, those events put forth by the "regular" SubGenii almost made
up for it. Phloighd's Kill "Bob" game was a LOT of fun, and made for an
interesting Friday... as Godfather put it, "We'd be sitting around our
campfire, and a group of people in camo with water guns would come
creeping by, asking in whispered tones if we'd seen "Bob"... then they'd
skulk off into the shadows again." Or Kill Me Radio's open mike let those
of us with a huge ego inflict our musical tastes upon the rest of the
camp. Critter's Coffeehouse made Saturday night much, much cozier and
friendly... we even managed to get an INWO SubGenius game going until we
all passed out.
After gossiping around, it looks like that was the idea all along. Whether
a noble idea or thinly disguised laziness, the higherarks have decided to
back off on X-Day Planning quite a bit, and try to reclaim the original
idea of "Do It Yourself". I guess I didn't really realize that, and was
being a bit lazy myself... we brought the time capsule but didn't use it,
I could have ranted but didn't, Jewyl was going to beat Locnar but he
didn't have any money for her (okay, that was HIS fault). I don't mind,
though. Next year, I've decided that I'm taking over... as much as I can,
at least. I'm bringing stuff, I'm doing stuff, and I'm going to make XD4
the Slackfullest, Partyinest, Peekittiest X-Day EVER, praise "Bob"!!!

Pee Kitty, are you forgetting that you yourself may as well be a
Hierarchite, just CUZ?
As I mentioned in my sermon during the Troutwaxer wedding--which was
LOVELY, and much MISSED by bastards like yourself--there is a lesson to
be learned here: "Ya can't depend on us. Ya can't even depend on "Bob".
YOU MUST DEPEND ON YOURSELF."
> Blood Wrestling was going well until Craig's "accident"
Uh, I beg to differ--it was going BADLY until Pope Phred issued his
clothed challenge to the indecent nude rasslers. That broken
collarbone, hair-raising as it was, became the high point of blood
wrestling.

Gah, what's gotten INTO you, Pee Kitty? The organized events have
always been the MINORITY at X-Day Drills in the past, with spontaneous
mayhem the status quo. You talk like it's the Hierarchites' fault that
XXX-Day wasn't as great as you wanted. Well, since you're a Hierarchite
too, I guess that means it's all YOUR DAMN FAULT.

*locks* Good luck. *loads*

Now THERE is the Pee Kitty I remember. Maybe you shouldn't be put out
of your misery just yet, after all.
Yeesh.
