^_^ Thanks 000.  I'll pass on the compliment to my friend Tigz - he's the one who did them.

Awesome! So what do you think about the date for buzz week? Too soon? Too late? Just right?

TBH I no longer think such impersonal GASMs have any use beyond the fun the have for the one perpetrating them.  So I really no longer care about AbbyGASM.

TBH your opinion is whack


but regardless--
we're not seeing a lot of people go "sign me up!" so maybe this idea wasn't fun enough to begin with

I think the real reason was that I've been in a grumpy cynical mood and the OP represents a time when I was a little more optimistic. 

But it looks like you guys are actually going to pull this off, so kudos!

http://discordian-devival.org/  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devival are now up.  They are only meant to be "events and statistics" pages.  The webmaster email at the bottom of the website is one of mine.  I will reply to any emails with a link to the other website and a fake password.  

Those are awesome!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You know...all of this talk about the Devival almost makes me wanna start a real one. Everyone seems really spread out but I bet we can find some event (like DragonCon) that lots of us will attend anyway. Maybe we could get something going at one of those things.

I'd be more willing to attend Devival than Burning Man. I would, however, suggest doing it somewhere people can camp.

We could all bring a copy of the PD, and on the last day, we could burn them.

side thought: Burning Ham.

It's like Burning Man but we mostly just cook pork.

I LOVE THIS.

It also ties into the hot dog angle!

This is sheer art! I love the devival section on principiadiscordia.com site

Also, Burning Ham sounds enough like Birmingham that when you tell people you're going to Burning Ham they won't register it, at all.

I call for at least one whole hog roast that week. I will gladly buy a hog.

My favorite part of the wiki article is the guy on the talk page complaining that Devivals aren't uniquely Discordian. I don't know who Chaos5023 (dude on the talk page) and Frank Westerton (the author) are but if they're the same guy, kudos on maintaining the illusion. And if 5023 isn't Frank, then additional kudos to frank for foolin' ye olde internets.

I'm not entirely sure what Burning Man is but I agree that hog roastin' sounds much better. I don't know about all this camping stuff though. It'd be more fun in a major city, maximize the opportunity for mass disruption.

NICE

fuckin ohmygod NICE - excellent form and style, good sir!

YOU, GOOD SIR must stick around. 

[Muir]

hehe.  Thanks Cramulus.  (Also, I'm a gal. Not to be confused with "lady"  cuz I'm definitely not nice and polite enough to be one of those. :P)

I dunno about the other coast, but a lot of states around here have towns called Birmingham. It might complicate matters to hold Burning Ham in Birmingham 

[Triple Zero]

then that sounds like a perfect place to hold a maybe non existant Devival!

Quantum:  The author of the page is my friend.  "Frank Westerton" is a name he made up on the spur of the moment (he does this often).  "Chaos5023" is not him, as far as I know.  

Also:  I can ask him to change the wiki page and website to say that one of the "voted for" and "confirmed" locations is Birmingham. :3

[Lord Quantum]

There's a Birmingham in Alabama. So we'd get double points for alliterative confusion and for creating chaos in the Bible belt.
