Yeah, I think their main attraction is a cave.

COME VISIT OUR HOLE IN THE GROUND.  IT'S REALLY DEEP.  IT'S A HOLE.

It was pretty damn impressive, if you like caves.

I like caves.

COME VISIT OUR PRETTY DAMN IMPRESSIVE HOLE IN THE GROUND.

Yeah, that has a ring to it.
The cave part was cool (lemme alone, my old man and maternal grandpa are geologists), but we have awesome caves here in California in much prettier areas (like Murphy's caverns in Sanora, which is fucking amazing).

Another quote from Thornly, this time from Sondra London's work with him. Posting becasue it's relevant to current BIP2 Project.

Quote"Nothing is truer than the saying that the highway to hell is paved with good intentions. If nearly half the world is not to continue starving to death, then ethics has to be geared to what will actually change the present situation. What will work, what will feed people has to be the standard of morality -- not what seems fair in the eyes of spoiled intellectuals who've never been outside the United States. Like the poet Robinson Jeffers says, this country has a national introversion complex. So does Japan. Neither country really believes the outside world exists. People watch a newsreel or read something in the papers, but subconsciously it is only entertainment to them."

That's awesome. Don't change your mind, don't cut it.

That's a damned good, and important, quote.  It probably should go to the newsfeed, if it fits.

I'm actually getting closer to finding the street that Greg and Kerry lived on. On a Current Affair they mention Napolean St. It seems to have been renamed since then, I don't know if anyone knows how I can find it?

Also THIS was one location that Kerry claims to have met 'Brother in Law'.

NorCal? I thought they did it in a bowling alley in LA. Which is, you know, Southern California.

Right at the moment I'm working off this interview HERE

QuoteHILDE: You mentioned the Bay area--I thought Discordianism began in Whittier,
which is in Southern California.

MARSHALL: It was the Bay Area, northern California.

HILDE: I believe both Hill and Thornley said it began in a bowling alley in Whittier.

MARSHALL: They both lied a lot.

I always heard that it was the Bay area, and in fact once had the actual (alleged) bowling alley pointed out to me. This was around 1994. Discordianism was a big thing among Bay area computer geeks. I have a vague memory of a house on a street that was not very far from my street in Oakland being somehow significant or relevant. All I remember about it was that it was a Victorian style with a black wrought iron fence.

I didn't really care at the time, so I wasn't really paying attention.

There was also a significant laundromat, perhaps in Berkeley.

My godmother told me a story how she meet Wilson at brushwood, for two days they had good conversations and on the third she just happen to have clothes on and thus he ignored her, even after calling his name, nickname and full name... so she slapped em
Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit
