Boing-Boinged by a Laughing Squid!

Greetings, Laughing Squid and Boing Boing readers! Praise Scott Beale and Mark Frauenfelder for proving themselves to be true Superior Mutants, and not one of those nouveau, po-mo, boho-a-gogo MOFOS I've mentioned before.

Now, I know you, too, ain't one of those nouveau, po-mo, boho-a-gogo MOFOS, or if you are, then you don't wanna be no nouveau, po-mo, boho-a-gogo mofo no mo'! If so, we welcome you to join us for a night of abnormality the likes of which haven't been seen in the 21st Century in this town.

And lest I forget, praise Rev. Ivan Stang for helping out immensely with promotion, both online and on the Hour of Slack! And also praise Dr. Hal Robins for mentioning the devival at his Ask Dr. Hal show as well as on the Puzzling Evidence radio show! All your help will be/has been remembered in the BeforeLife.

The FINAL LINEUP for the FINAL DEVIVAL:

Dr. Hal Robins
Popess Lilith von Fraumench
Assassinated Nensmaster NENSLO, King Of All Anarchists
Priestess Pisces
Rev. Andre Brothel
Rev. Scalpod and NormalJean
Spinalcracker
DJ Jessbone & DJ Sloth

And let us not forget: Hemorrhoy Rogers

ChickenHed will be hosting the post-devival party and will engage in their usual Transformative Embarrassment rituals much to your dementertainment. (If you live in Seattle or Portland, their ChickenHed Church performances and get-togethers are great.)

Speaking of which, ChickenHed hosts a radio show in Portland called RadioHed. I will be calling into the show, and others might join in, this Friday at Noon on KPSU. They will also be playing quite a bit of Hemorrhoy Rogers for the occasion and I am sure insanity will be spread thickly on every surface.

Prepare thyselves, Seattle.

Devival Poster Now Up

10th Anniv. Final SubGenius Devival

If you want a print-ready (black and white) version, email finaldevival@gmail.com to make arrangements. The artist recommends lavender stock--hence this coloration.

Online Promotion Encouraged

Feel free to promote FINALDEVIVAL.COM verbally, online, subliminally--just try to do so legally. Dumbassery at this Xist-less juncture is still not fully encouraged, although it is certainly Dobbs Approved all the same.

Can you Digg it?

Devival Flier Available Now

If you would like to help promote this devival, please feel free to print this out, photocopy it, cut them into quarters (cheap at Kinko's if you go crazy) and place in any and every odd crevice where they'll let you.

When distributing these, feel free to be creative, weird, sarcastic, etc., but DO NOT ACT LIKE A JERK. Repeat--DO NOT ACT LIKE A JERK. The person from whom you're asking permission to drop off a few fliers might well be a latent unsaved SubGenius, whose conversion results in a series of freak incidences that end with him or her curing cancer or coming up with some really good jokes at least.

Be prepared to answer questions--not about the devival, about "Bob" and the Church. Remember, if anyone seems dubious, there's probably someone within earshot who'd react strongly--and usually positively--to the mention of "Bob" or his visage, and that often convinces the person behind the desk or counter to let you put a stack somewhere in the place. I am not fooling--at least one person who helped me poster before has seen it happen first hand and can testify.

Posters will be forthcoming. And thank you for your support.

Go forth, and spread it! Them! I mean!

Devival Hotel Information

For those who are coming to the Devival from out of town:

The cheapest hotels are around SeaTac, thanks to heavy competition for travelers, and start around $59 a night. While there is bus service from SeaTac to the devival site, it's a bit far, so this might be the most economical solution for those who plan on renting a car.

The cheapest hotels within a short walk of the venue are:

Seattle Pacific Hotel
Inn at Queen Anne

Both are, as of this post, offering rooms under $90, not necessarily counting taxes and what-not.

The venue is very close to Downtown Seattle, so if you don't mind paying for more amenities, you have quite a few options.

For the most adventurous and broke among us, the Green Tortoise Hostel offers dorm-style rooms as low as $25 per night.

Bus service in Downtown Seattle tends to be fairly good. Both Routes 24 and 33 go from Downtown to Elliot on Saturdays. The last 24 should be shortly after the devival part is over, after midnight, but for those of you brave enough to stay up all night with ChickenHed, you can catch the first bus back to Downtown around 5:45 AM.

A ride board will be forthcoming if I am asked to create one. For now, slack.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

The 10th Anniversary Final SubGenius Devival has an official date and time:

DEVIVAL HOTLINE: (206) 339-7625

In other news, Ivan Stang will NOT be able to make it to this devival, with much regret. He has good, Conspiracy-thwarting reasons. But there's a lot more to this Church than one Yeti, and we have a riot of great SubGenius ministers ready to help you take back your rightful Slack, friends. Bring it on.
