ACTUAL 12X-DAY EVENTS list

From: "Rev. Ivan Stang" <stang@subgenius.com>

This may not be entirely accurate and is surely not complete. I went
from the time-stamps on the photo and audio files I have. By
definition this list is Stang-centric, though. What worries me is that
what I remember may be drastically different from what other SubGenii
remember. PLEASE ADD OR CORRECT ANYTHING YOU CAN.
