The Church of the SubGenius was in Los Angeles on Nov.15-16 '85. There were 5 pages devoted to this event in "L.A.Weekly" Vol.7, No. 51 (I saved the copy!) You can share the enlightenment by buying the OFFICIAL Church bible, _The Book of the SubGenius_ (McGraw-Hill, 1983), a densely packed compendium of profecies for the coming Weird Times. And then there is the _Stark Fist of Removal_, the pseudo-monthly newsletter filled with information from SubGenius subchurches ( caled "clenches") from all over the world. And then there are the Media Barrage recordings, ultra-thick audio collages edited together from SubGenius radio interviews, crackpot hypnosis tapes, backwater evangelical broadcasts and bad sci-fi movie soundtracks. Other sources of Church doctrine are old occult pamphlets, Mayan mythology, Alcoholics Anonimous tracts, and those little dirty ads in men's magazines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above is mostly exerpted from L.A.Weekly without permission.

"Stark Fist of Removal"? Sounds like a Kzinti phrase to me.... Dragonlord "I am styled by my profession. I am called Finder of Lost Loves."
