Hail Eris!

It's like KallistiCon, only sadder: the weekend traditionally known as "President's Day Weekend" this
February (16-19) will host at least three Robert Anton Wilson memorial events in the San Francisco
bay area, not to mention several other Discordian events.

That weekend also hosts
PantheaCon, a huge neo-Pagan convention in San Jose, CA. This
convention has long celebrated Discordianism with rituals and presentations, and is where I will be
spending much of my weekend.

The memorials:

Saturday night is
Discordian.com's annual PantheaCon Discordian ritual. We'd planned a Papal
Inauguration to formally install everyone as Pope, and we feel that this is now more important than
ever. We will also honor RAW's memory and works in full Discordian style (uh, what that means I'm
still a little unsure, but I'll have it figured out - got any ideas? email me). Here's the official
description:

Discordian.com's Papal Inauguration & RAW Memorial

Every man, woman and child (and everyone else) is a Pope! And yet... how many Papal
Inaugurations have you attended? Too few! Come learn what it means to commune with your pineal
gland and get a shot at that Papal infallibility you so deserve. Help put the fun back in funeral, as
we honor our departed mentor.

Sunday afternoon is the official Robert Anton Wilson Meme-Orial in RAW's hometown of Santa
Cruz, CA. Buy your tickets *now* before they sell out - a bargain at $23 each. I've bought mine
already, and if you want to go, I suggest you get yours ASAP. No tickets will be sold after Feb 1.,
and due to the limited number, they may be gone before then. The url below has all the details and
a link to buy tickets:

http://robertantonwilson.blogspot.com/2007/01/robert-anton-wilson-cosmic-meme-orial.html

Monday afternoon sometime is the PantheaCon RAW memorial run by the PantheaCon staff.
Robert Anton Wilson came to speak at PantheaCon for several years in a row. This is where I gave
him a Saint certificate in 1999, and also where I met a friend who has been instrumental in the
PantheaCon rituals since the beginning. These are people who knew Bob, who had worked with him
and talked with him many times, and I hope everyone who can make it out this weekend can make it
to their memorial service too.

The weekend also promises other Discordian events including a Discordian time travel ritual done
by a good friend of mine on Sunday night at PantheaCon, and a reprise of the presentation that
Fox and I did recently in Berlin on Discordianism & Culture Jamming (also Monday afternoon).

You should be here for this. If you can make it, buy your tickets now and come.

If you're coming, email me. If you're broke and need a place to stay, talk to me and I'll see what I
can do. I'll have more details in the next few days, but I'll be working out a Discordian weekend
guide and phone list.

This is a party to wake the dead.

All hail Discordia!


-->St. Mae,

PS: If any of you are in the Toronto area, there will be a memorial there on February 7th. Check out
http://rawremembered.blogspot.com/ for all the details.

PPS: If you know of any other memorial services happening anywhere in the world, email me and I'll
pass it on.

PPPS: REPOST THIS NOTICE and get every Discordian here you possibly can. Fnord!

St. Mae,

Thank you for spreading the word.

I'll get your notice posted on our site,
http://discordia.loveshade.org, probably within the next day or
three. With everything that's happened, I've gotten behind--I've taken time off to deal with all this,
but still haven't even gotten our January Snooze Letter out yet, and January's almost over.

I don't know about working in full Discordian style, but here are a few ideas:

A group sing. Songs such as are included in
Principia Discordia, or the drinking song in the Steve
Jackson Games edition of the book, in
Apocrypha Discordia, and in the government-seized
Discordian play
West End Trash are cool ("Infinity bottles of beer on the wall, infinity bottles of beer;
take one down, pass it around, infinity bottles of beer on the wall." (Repeat until dead.))

A Discordian Wedding. I did one online--see it at
http://discordia.loveshade.org/xtra/marywed/ --
and St. The Mary and es intended have asked me to perform a real and legally-recognized
Discordian wedding for them. Either a real or fake wedding would be fun.

For color, you might think about uniforms, all different. Dress as Eris, a super hero, cheerleader,
Confederate soldier, bellydancer, choir boy, high school and member, etc. You could even award
merit badges, such as Calvin Ball, Musical Farts, etc. (These from the Smagmoid Kids Club at
http://discordia.loveshade.org/skc/better/basicsa.html)

As a greeting, there's the Bodyshake at
http://discordia.loveshade.org/ek-sen-trik-kuh/bodyshake.html We've found this to be fun.

And for a really friendly greeting, there's the Cloved Lemon Kissing Game at
http://discordia.loveshade.org/ek-sen-trik-kuh/clovedlemon.html

And I'd love to have you post either your personal feelings about RAW or this notice at
http://loveshade.org/blog/2007/01/goodbye_raw_robert_anton_wilso.html Feel free to let others
know about this as well.

Dear puny human,

About time you finally abandoned this disease-ridden fleshsuit, hence I might as well inform you
that, because of your unprecedented spiritual development and persistant intelligence enhancing
labors, you have been promoted to god-creator status, meaning that you'll soon be able to create
an entire new Universe all by yourself. That should teach you mocking mine.

Love, God
