Beautify Our Town!
One of the excellent ideas to come out of this year's KallistiCon is the BOT project. In short, we have chosen a small town in the midwestern United States that we are going to beautify, Discordian style. Discordians have done some excellent concerted jakes in the past, usually aimed at businesses or governmental bodies. We thought, why not a town? Why not up the weirdness quotient for a whole town?
We have chosen a town. We have a specific project. We need your help.
We are in the preparation stage right now, and the project will commence on August 23rd, the Day of Discord.
Who: You! And your friends!
Where: The location will be disclosed to people who join the project via the project mailing list. We are in the process of compiling a database of addresses.
When: Starting August 23rd, and then on the 9th and 23rd of the month for the next six months.
Why: For the lulz. To make the world a weirder place. To find fellowship amongst freaks.
What: This is a letter writing campaign. Write a letter to someone as if you had bought a product from them, and you are writing to express how happy or unhappy you are with it. Please, get creative! You may have purchased a goat harness and found yourself unhappy that the goat didn't come included, or find yourself extremely satisfied with your new dildo cozy since it keeps your dildo so toasty warm. Aim for the ridiculous! Once you've written a letter you're happy with, print out five or ten copies and send them to different people.
For right now, join the mailing list to hear more as the date approaches. We'll send you contact info for residents of Our Town and a few sample letters. You'll also get to read letters other people are sending out, and be in on our other BOT projects.
Join up!

Kallisticon 2008
From a secure location beneath New Alamut,
Left Coast, Turtle Island, Earth
Fool's Day 2008
Discordians, Dysnomians, Erisians, and others of much ilk...
Get up! (Get on up!)
KallistiCon 2008 is coming - June 20-22!
Every year this millennium, we've gotten together in the Bay Area in California. We're not just rehashing gags from the Principia - we're moving forward, practicing chaos in the world.
For the last seven years, we've eaten and drank together, we've made friends with strangers in traffic, we've had rituals and blessings, we've been weird in public, and we've been human with each other. We’ve found the freaks who thought they were the only ones, and taught them - and ourselves - what tribe is supposed to mean.
Some of you will say: "But Discordians are supposed to be disorganized."
Didn't you know that's just a put-on?
Some of you will say we’re doing it wrong, and only you know the right way to follow Eris.
That's OK. Just quit talking about it and start doing it.
Some will no doubt repeat the tired cliche: "We Discordians tend to stick apart."
Of course we do, but sticking apart is more fun when we do it together.
Throw out your old memes. Greg and Kerry are gone, Bob Wilson is gone, Camden Benares and the other old-timers are gone. Let's honor and respect them. Let's learn from their lives and their teachings. But let's stop trying to be them.
The Principia is your grandma's Discordia. Being an inside joke on the net is your daddy's. What's yours? And who are you doing it with?
