Subject: may 31st devival. things are looking very good. contributions sought
i'm still soliciting material for rants spews and background static for
preformance at the May 31st. devival at CBGB's in Manhattan.
things are coming together nicely! we mailed out 816 letters and cards
both announcing the THANG and begging for money. we plastered the 5 bouroughs
with flyers and advertising matchbooks- both soon to be collector's items
of incalculatable value (though, i've only spent about $300 so far)!
the video on MTV and nightflight, the 1.5 hours of radio air plugging, and
a few other publists tricks have generated considerable CON, BOBBY, and PINK
interest in the event.
now, asside from the REV's the RANTS the PSURGERY and the PIPE, we've got
two promises of fliming and media coverage, the vague intreatments from two
strippers, and an interal schisim that may lead to the DEATH of one of our
own REV's or DEAK's in the Church of the first SACRED PIPE of Brooklyn as we
fight amoungst ourselves for control and glory!
please be quick with whatever material you'd like to contribute.
please be even quicker if you would like to send us money or to join the
show on stage. there will be some "open mic" time at the devival, but do
not count on it. get the necessary regland scaping ahead of time!!
email or fax material to me.
to join the stage, call Rev. Wally.
make checks payable either to me (preferable, i think) or to the order
of: The Church Of The First Sacred Pipe Of Brooklyn.
YES! the Church is now a legal banking entity! Damn, it can even issue
W2 forms!

An Idea Whose Time Has Come!
FOUNDED IN 1986
An International Civil Space Agency by 1993
Star-Trek-like UNITED SPACE FEDERATION, INC

INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
P.O. BOX 4722

INCORPORATED IN 1990 (R) Registered in New York State, USA
With the end of the cold war between the USSR and the USA hundreds of thousands
of jobs in industry and science and technology related sectors in this country,
and around the world, which once were dependent, either directly or indirectly,
on National Defense related activities are now being lost. Key industries and
corporations that depended on defense contracts for their survival are now on
the verge of financial bankruptcy as a result of massive cutbacks in defense
spending. This situation is causing economic ripple effects down to the
smallest communities and towns. Even Ithaca has not been spared the
consequences of this, as many jobs in industry and manufacturing throughout the
area have already been lost and many more will be lost if this trend is not
reversed. Cornell University, one of the area's largest employers, is now also
having to cutback its work force and community programs as a result of this
economic downturn, which is a direct result of these massive cutbacks in
national defense spending. The USF has a viable solution to reversing this
trend and putting hundreds of thousands of workers back to work and saving
financially devastated corporations before they fail. For more information
about the USF and its present activities, send a $5 donation in the form of a
check or money order made out to: UNITED SPACE FEDERATION, INC. to the address
above, and an information packet will be sent to you in 2 to 3 weeks.
Directors positions for 1992 are now open. Deadline for applications is 7/1/91
and elections will be held on 8/1/91. The organization is also seeking
volunteer officers and tech. crew for our educational T.V. programming here in
the local area. Interested persons should send a self addressed stamped
envelope to receive a USF volunteer application form.

This guy's been active again lately, though I still don't think he's been able
to recruit anyone. He's great to see on the local cable access station, where
he cuts quite a figure in his space toga. I recommend writing and getting
information (don't bother with the money, use a little salesmanship and he'd
probably pay you $5 to read it), or at least a volunteer application form. If
this form is anything like the old one, you get to pay $10/month, swear
eternal allegiance to the USF, and are threatened with blacklisting and
expulsion from the presence of all good sentient beings if you betray (or
quit) the USF. Alternately, writing and accusing the USF of wanting to
enslave people to work in the ammonia mines on Venus might be an interesting
approach to take. The volunteer position titles alone are worth the price of
a stamp, though feel free to suggest new ones to him, like "orgone collector
(cloudburster) operator", "social event organizer for insectoid alien
contacts", "launch pad designer and line painter", etc.
The above ad is the most cogent I've seen him lately. The fantasy about
massive defense cuts and failure of businesses in the defense industry is
interesting, as is the phrase "An International Civil Space Agency by 1993".
Perhaps an Xist front by 1998?
