An experiment, a (net)work in progress, a meta-level solution, a work of art…
Another Geomagnetic party at the Gingerbread House, and then Arjuna at a downtown venue I haven’t been before … time to take a quick break from the infowar and civil disobedience for a weekend of psytrance in San Francisco!
Somebody named Hagbard Celine posted on TechCrunch yesterday, right out of the pages of the Illuminatus! trilogy. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia! Eris features prominently in g0ddesses.net as well … for years I’ve played with a cyber-Illuminatus! for the 21st century, with a psytrance soundtrack instead of rock and roll. first in Rationality’s not looking too good these days and then on the e-luminatus wiki and Liminal States. Life imitates art.
If someboy had told me when I was in college that thirty years later I’d be going out dancing all night, writing a novel about goddesses and hanging out with them in real life, and right in the middle of three vital battles for civil liberties … I’d have said “cool, sign me up!” And I feel exactly the same today.

A two-fer! Psymbolic had a great vibe and a surprisingly big crowd… we ran into some friends who were in a fine mood, and who could blame them? It was still crowded when we left at 3:30.
Saturday night (after sleeping late and then taking a nap), Entheogenic Garden was even better. Great sets by Psycho Zaika and Arjuna, wonderful space design by Julien Seyer, and a very underground feel in the basement. I ran into a couple people I had been dancing with on Friday night — and a friend who I hadn’t seen in six months. A great time.
I heart psytrance.
