So, you think you lost it? Haven't got a clue what I'm talking about?
Well, it's all about Robert Anton Wilson, who decided to die on us on January 11. Or the way it was announced on his blog:
RAW Essence
January 11, 2007
Robert Anton Wilson Defies Medical Experts and leaves his body @4:50 AM on binary date 01/11.
All Hail Eris!
On behalf of his children and those who cared for him, deepest love and gratitude for the tremendous support and lovingness bestowed upon us.
(that's it from Bob's bedside at his fnord by the sea)
Now there's this big party in Santa Cruz on February 18 for all his fans, followers and discordian weirdo's and misfits. Unfortunately, a 15-hour flight from Brussels (and proportional ticket pricing) is a bit excessive. That's why it would be, like, great fun, you know, to do a synchronized event somewhere in Europe.
The invitation (from rawilson.com):

How-dee Rev.!
Thanks for the comment over at my blog.
I'll add a link to yours - of you're going to keep this one going.
It would be super-cool to have a UK/Euro gathering of Wilson-heads. Ingolstadt would be far-out...but I'd even settle for just an on-line forum--it'd be *something* anyway.
Yeah! Great! Now I know there are at least two Wilson-fanatics in Europe. Not enough for a meeting though :-)
But hell, you know, like those potheads in Amsterdam say, just let it grow, right? :-)
