As you may know, the Life Festival is taking place in Galway this weekend - the 4th, 5th and 6th of July. Following the success of the Rock Candy stall, it would be stupid of us not to represent at the Life Festival, wouldn't it?
We can re-use most of the stuff from the Rock Candy stall, plus our added wisdom and experience. We plan on hiring a generator so we can bring sound and light.
Any operatives or volunteers who'll be at the Life Festival should make themselves known at this thread or contact Conor.
The stall, covered with a veritable cornucopia of cakes, godlike effigies, colourful paintings, toys, lights, leaflets, 'zines, and more more MORE, took off like a rocket. It was the convergent point of the festival, where everyone ended up coming to have the most fun of all, get their faces painted, learn about the gods and secrets of the universe, confess their darkest sins, and even stare blankly into space for 10 hours or more! Pictures are to follow! SECOND IMPOSSIBLE WEEKEND OCCURS
Ultimate Comment holds stall at Rock Candy Festival
Second issue of zine 'Interrobang' released
The Ultimate Comment held a stall at Human Music's Rock Candy in McGruder's yesterday, with cakes, biscuits, toys to give away, lights and artwork. It couldn't have gone better, wihth 100% cake consumption reported. We also gave away copies of the new zine (get your PDF copy here - but please PM or email or post on the forums to get a real copy as there are loads left - also, anyone who requested the first issue by email should be getting one in the post early this week along with the first one).
There were cakes and too many different other kinds of confectionary to name decorated with the Gods, insane lights (kindly provided by our hosts), a UV "Cannon", a glowing skeleton, gods illuminated by LEDs, the Gods in physical form, paintings, face paints, a confession box, glowing orbs and the Cosmic Wand (AKA the device which makes us dance). There was even an invocation of Pan.
MAJOR thanks to Human Music, who are out and out legends for hosting us, to everyone who did any work for the stall, anyone who came to McGruder's and anyone who came up to the stall and ate cake.
There will be a meetingON WEDNESDAY to discuss the final plans for the stall. Also, if you have stuff to send in for the zine, please send it NOW. It will be printed on Friday,
Sooner or later, we're all going to have to tell them. Whether they're going through your house, rummaging through your bag or firing at you with a water cannon, the question will eventually come up: What's the deal with those eight gods?
This is going to be more difficult than telling Polish people. The Poles tend to be understanding and easy-going, whereas the guards tend to ask a lot of questions, accuse you of everything they can imagine and repeat themselves when they think they're on to something. In some cases, offence is the best form of defence. Perhaps we can best rid ourselves of the upcoming problem by approaching the guards ourselves.
Step 1: Tap a garda on the shoulder. Start by asking them questions. A good start is Do you know where I can get high quality narcotics at lo-lo prices? If they start telling you where, you have nothing to worry about. It is possible that you have met a drug dealer instead of a police officer. Negotiate a price for your fix and arrange a meeting point.
Step 2: If you're still sure it's a Garda, you're more than likely in trouble now. However, to avoid being asked who you are, who you're with, where you're from etc. you will want to keep asking them questions. Ask them what's in their bag, or in their hat. Keep asking more questions.
Step 3: You may be in the back of a car now. This could be the right time to give the guards a leaflet explaining the eight gods. You might try drawing them on the back of your seat if you're not cuffed.
Step 4: At the trial, they may try to take away your kids. This will generate lots of publicity, and spark a massive upsurge of awareness among rank-and-file Gardai. Success.
Any volunteers?

second quest completed --- GENERAL MIAOW IS MADE FLESH
The Ultimate Comment grows ever closer to its magical goals as the second holy quest is completed. General Miaow, the cat god, has been brought into physical existence in a secret ritual. He has fused His consciousness with that of a physical host cat, Mouser, to become General Miaowser. The cat is located near Milltown, in Dublin. Above is one of the few pictures that has been revealed to the public, but there are more if you need to see them. As this animal is now a Living God, a Supreme Being made flesh, we expect that he will go on tours and give talks.
Magazine - INTERROBANG - Released The Ultimate Comment has released a free magazine called INTERROBANG. Only 100 copies were made because of lack of funds, but it is brilliant if you manage to get hold of a copy. It features philosophy and conjecture.
We have about 20 copies letting, if you are interested in getting one please post in the forums or email us. Otherwise you can download it at http://www.theultimatecomment.com/files/zine.pdf We are accepting submissions for the second issue.
Before Hallowe'en the DXM ANGEL made an appearance at the Samhain festival organised by Dún Laoighaire Rathdown county Council in Marlay Park. Several representatives of the Ultimate Comment's earthly divisions were there to welcome it, and noticed a few strange reactions from children and parents the the DXM ANGEL's majetic appearance.
Most interestingly, the children had a number of guesses as to what the DXM ANGEL, a magical god of power and light, really is - and here they are:
"Hey look, it's a snowman" "Mommy, a giant fairy" "A bird" "It's a starfish!" "What is that large umbrella?"
One mother who interrogated the Ultimate Comment's representatives made a number of other observations, until eventually she was too disturbed by our representative's answers to continue.
