SF Ritual Brunch, powered by eCult

this month: *** kiddie/porn brunch ***

sunday, november 17
noon onward

your mission, if you choose to accept it (but you're welcome to simply bring your fabulous self), is to dress and/or bring food that appeals to either the aura of kiddie and/or porn WITHOUT making kiddie porn which, as we all know, is ILLEGAL.

kiddie/porn thingies already planned:
* we will learn the ancient japanese art of kokogami, which combines the childish pleasures of origami with something else entirely
* we will consume suggestively shaped cookies and/or candy made and/or bought by your hostess
* afterward, we will go to the carousel at the yerba buena center and/or visit one of several adult establishments less than a block away

contact me for location and directions.

NEWS

So (at her request) Meredith has been invited to be a contributing member to eCult.org. An eCult celebrant from way back in the early days (this past summer), she has now taken Ritual Brunch to San Francisco.

If I'm John the Baptist, then Meredith is my Jesus. Or maybe I'm Jesus and she's Peter or someone like that. In any case, one of us is definately Jesus.

Metaphorically, I mean.

So... If the likes of you were to ask to become a contributing member to eCult.org, would you also be handed this incredible privilege?

Maybe.

And while I'm at this news thing: I'm leaving my job in the first week of January to persue my ministry more seriously. No, I'm not kidding.

UPDATED AGAIN
EVENT - Mon/Tue - Nov 18/19 - Late night/early morning

The Leonids, powered by eCult

UPDATES:

So, according to to the Leonid storm flux estimator, the Leonids will start to ramp up around 3am on Monday night. They will be best viewed from a mountaintop, where they will reach a maximum flux of 4,195 at approximately 5:20am (what does that number mean? I don't know - but it's hella larger than the standard levels of around 4). Shortly after, they will ramp down again, sputtering out around 6am. Weather should be clearing up around the time of the storm, so viewing should be decent.

So, my plan is to meet up at 8pm for a late dinner on monday night and then head out around 10pm. We'll car camp, nap and sing songs on the guitar until 3am, at which point we'll all wake up simultaneously and be blown away. Currently, I'm thinking of going to the Blue Hills (which is maybe not quite legal), or maybe joining the Harvard Space Dorks.

In general, I'm against the idea of heading out too late, because I'd like to allow for getting held up, don't want people to have to get up first, etc. This is how I missed them last year. These could well be the best meteors you ever see, so don't miss them (even if you don't see them with eCult)!

OLD ENTRY:

So, even if you suck like me and missed the Leonids last year, this year they promise to be just as good - with the increased frequency of meteors balanced by the nigh full moon. That means you get one more chance to see what may likely be the most spectacular meteor shower for many years to come.

In any case, Momma nature's not gonna haul your ass out of this one again, so make sure you get out of the city to see the show. If you'd like to come along with me, watch this space (by which I mean this entry) for details or just give a call.

EVENT - Sat - Nov 16 - 8pm

Gallery Opening, powered by eCult

This saturday at the Oni Gallery, we'll be proferring our first batch of Oni gallery homebrew. As official brewmaster, I cordially invite you to attend. Door is just $5, and you get all the homebrew you care to drink along with homestyle hippie snackie food.

Said proffering will occur during the opening for Luanne E. Witkowski's 'Large Paintings & Works on Paper' and Kathe Izzo's 'Crush.' The latter involves Kathe building a fort in the gallery and living there for three weeks, where she will invite others to sleep over on alternating nights.

While we're discusing the Oni, please also note that they are collecting photos for a 'Wall of Exes.' This is a cool idea. Contribute a pic of an old flame, along with a sentence or two of exposition before Dec 13. We'll all go home a little more enlightened.

And yes, I know none of this is up on the website. They're just not together with that right now.
