Got an email asking if I could point this guy to a list of the locations of this devival.  Here's my reply and his email (my apologies for the cliche/noob uses of discordian phrases/words :P ):

Greetings Gareth!

Simply go to http://www.principiadiscordia.com/devival2010/

Once Eris has found you worthy enough to grant you access to the site, you will find a full list of all the locations of this years Devival.

Subject: Devival

I was wondering how it would be possible to find out where the 2010 Devival will be taking place before it actually occurs?
My awakening to Eris came too late to partake in the previous Devival so i was hoping to be able to come this year.
If you could point me in the right direction i would be truely grateful.
Thanks

Gareth

And Hail Eris

Also: dibs on tuesday, since that's the only free day I have next week. x_x  And I'll be sending slightly modified  copies of the first letter (the one from "Lita")

[Dimocritus]

I'm going to use the letter I wrote, and I'll take Friday if that's cool with you guys.

[Fractalbeard]

I'll do self-written letters, and I'll lay claim to Wednesday.

[Lord Quantum]

For double plus convenience, here's the schedule

Mon - Me (Becky's letter)
Tues - Muir (Lita's letter)
Wed- Shioichi (self-written)
Thu - Nigel ( (self-written)
Fri -dimo (self-written)
Sat - Cram (unknown & mysterious)

[NotPublished]

I think Cram should pretend to be an A.I!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Hm if nobody's going to use those other sample letters I might just use one of them.

As I'm sure you've all noticed, the last two people on the list, Miss Manners and Billy Graham, don't have email addresses. For those of you, who, like me, were planning on doing this thing totally electronically, here's Miss Manners' email (or one of them anyway, she seems to have several). Make sure the subject line reads "Question for Miss Manners".

manners@microsoft.com

As for Billy Graham go here and select "spiritual question"

So anyway, today was my day to start the invasion and I'm happy to report that everything went smoothly. I would also like to report that I saw Saving Private Ryan last night and am feeling really pumped for absolutely no reason. That is all. Quantum out.

Progress Report: I just received a reply from the advice Amy column. In my letter I mentioned that my pastor told me that Discordians are dangerous. Now Amy wants to know "How are these people "dangerous"? Did you ask your pastor or did you just take his word for it. Please copy this entire e-mail into your reply." I don't wanna overdo it but I don't wanna under do it either. Any suggestions on what I should tell her? Keep in mind that I've already said that Discordians aren't involved in anything illegal. I did present myself as a youth minister though, so maybe "spiritually dangerous" would work but I don't know...thought I'd get some feedback before I respond.

Maybe something about perverting your faith? That seems to be our modus operandi, a bit.

Maybe something about how their way of thinking leads to an extreme sense of paranoia, which in turn leads to a whole slew of "dangerous' or harmful behaviors, sprititual, social and otherwise.

That's good. I would also play up the whole "they take order/disorder and creative/destructive more seriously than good/evil".

or that they don't see things in terms of good and evil, which leaves too much "grey areas" ( grey) for them to participate in potentially evil actions.

[Cramulus]

they believe that jesus christ was a literary construction and has as much contemporary validity as Captain Ahab.
