Cat Vincent's Festival 23 report

Ian 'Cat' Vincent attended the recent Festival 23 and reports that he had a great time:

The quickest way to describe how extraordinary it all was... at peak there was about 500 people in that field, ranging from heavy RAW/Discordian elements to folk who just wanted to get pilled up and dance their asses off.

I did not meet a single dickhead on that field.

The full report is available here.  The report reveals that Daisy Eris has written a new play! Cat's periodic newsletter, "Caterwauling," will show up in your email Inbox if you subscribe here.  And here is another report on the festival, from Phacemag.

My interview with Cat Vincent, including discussion of Robert Anton Wilson, magick, Brexit and science fiction, will run next week.

Festival 23 launches crowd funding drive

The Festival 23 Discordian event scheduled for the weekend of July 23, 2016 "at a secret outdoor location in the UK" now has a full-fledged website. Some of the listed "co-conspirators" for the event will be familiar, particularly if you are up on the British scene.

Also, the Festival 23 folks have launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to make it happen.  There are naturally various perks, but one that's worth noting is that for 23 pounds, you get a say in the festival planning and an invitation to a Nov. 28 meeting.
