The 2011 Discordian Synod will be held on Friday, April 1st, at the Meetrack (in the Holy City™ of Tucson, Drachmann Street), and will run from 7PM until they throw us out (ie, 1-5 hours).
All are welcome and encouraged to attend, as any decisions made there will be Holy Writ™, and should be held in the same regard you bastards hold all the other Holy Stuff™. A few simple rules will be enforced by Two Ton Bill, to preserve decorum and good taste:
Quote1. No copies of the PD will be allowed, other than the OFFICIAL ones (ie, the hardbound one made by Syn, or the Loompanics version. Anyone caught holding Steve Jackson shit will be forced to eat ice from the urinals).
2. No cosplay. This is for your own safety (Note: Leather fetish shit is probably okay).
3. Leave the Gloryhole cover alone. The owner has booby trapped it.
4. Regardless of what gender you identify with, use the restroom appropriate to your actual, biological gender. Hermaphrodites may choose one or the other, but will be expected to stick with their decision.
5. For the duration of the Synod, no fucking on the ping pong table. The owner has agreed to enforce this on all patrons for this one evening, and the regulars have agreed to comply.
6. Do NOT get pissy with Rebecca or Scoob when they don't have your brand. The beer list is Heineken and PBR, the hard liquor comes in white labelled bottles that say "Whiskey", "Rum", etc, and there is no wine. Deal with it.
Submissions for the Synod from people that can't make it can be emailed to drhowl123@yahoo.com
We look forward to your attendance, and remember: Don't talk to anyone in that neighborhood who isn't actually in the bar or patio area. They'll shank you for the clothes on your back.
Or Kill me.

April 1st is April 1st. We can't move the calendar back and forth.
Perhaps you can reschedule your LARP?
If I'm not working, I'll find my way there.
April is blacked out for PTO next year due to image conversion.
SHITCOCKS!
I can't. It's East Kingdom Coronation and I'm running the thing.

There is no fast. 5hrs is 5hrs. I CAN'T, you CAN. I have to decorate a Catholic church to look Byzantine. Go as my ambassador and Godspeed you glorious faggot!

So a bus full of Discordians drives through Death Valley...
What could go wrong? :lulz:
:lulz: Let's find out.
:lulz: I so want to go but I'm 18, in another country, penniless, etc. :sad: I'll be there in spirit I guess.
I would like to come but being as I"m in Ohio, spending my pay before I receive it, and unable to call off; I can't.
I can maybe help organize a east coast one. :shrug:

Death will run from the valley that bears his name, but he will not run fast enough. On April 1, 2011, there will be no Deaths, because Death will be too busy attempting to dig deep enough. Whilst simultaneously trying to jump high enough. Even Kesey's Bus of Hippy Pranksters did not faze Death. Death waits, it's what he does best. But he shall flee the short, Yellow Bus that rides upon a burst of Discordian.
He's no fool, this bony gent, in robe of black. She is older than him. When she first rode out upon her wave of chaos, there was no Death. There was no need of him among the ever living ones. Still isn't. And that's OK, he can roll with that. But this cracked, crazed, cackling mocker of things scares him like nothing else. He would just hide, but he knows he cannot hide hidden enough. So he will flee, as fleetly as he ever flew, knowing he cannot flee fast enough. But it beats trying to hide. Last time he tried to hide from her, she found him cowering under a dried out stand of brushwood. And she snuck up behind him, and gave him something he would never have though possible. Something horrible. He could never, ever forget the terror, or the humiliation. Or figure out how she even managed it at all. How can you even start to give a mythical Skeleton, with no metaphysical underwear, a wedgie? He starts to count the days.
So five gallons of water per person ration?

HERETICS!
Well, while I KNOW I'll be in Providence this coming spring (for a meeting; if it KILLS me), I don't think I can make it to the Synod. :( Thesis and graduation and all that.
I don't wanna go to RI.
I mean, I've heard so many great things about it :/
For that matter, you've heard so many things about Tucson. :lulz:

GERMAN CLUB. I already told you I'm dragging you to a happy place that sells authentic German food and beer cheap, kicking and screaming all the way I'm sure.
i'll impulsively decide in march whether to sojourn for this or not.
I should be able to make it, seeing how it will only be a 14 hour drive or so.
IN THEORY
How hard would it be to make a branding iron of

Fuck your regards. Send your material, and/or suggestions, so that we may use them as beer mats and perhaps include the soggy remains in Holy Writ
TM.
I cannot attend :sad:
I will, however, send several Holy Artifacts to consecrate the gathering in my absence.
