Devivals

SubGenius gatherings, or Devivals, can be seen as a 
combination of religious preaching, stand-up comedy, 
and rock concerts. When the local members of the Church 
hold a Devival in their area, it typically occurs at a popular 
nightclub, and it features SubGenius preachers backed by 
rock bands with such names as the Swingin' Love Corpses, 
Doktors 4 "Bob", Saint N and Hellena Handbasket, Jehovah 
Hates Phred, Einstein's Secret Orchestra, The Mondo 
Retardo Band, The Amino Acids, and the Kings of Feedback. 
Devivals have been held each year as part of both the 
Starwood Festival and WinterStar Symposium since 1991. 
Attendees at Devivals are encouraged to bring money and 
spend it at the ever-present sales table. Some Devivals have 
been known to veer out of control. In 1999, overly cautious 
officials of the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts pressured 
owners of The Middle East nightclub to cancel the booked 
devival because of a mistaken belief that the organizers 
were affiliated with the Trenchcoat Mafia (an organization 
which was mistakenly accused of being responsible for the 
Columbine High School massacre).[6]

The exciting new do-it-yourself virus we invented for 
the SubGenius Art Mines is spreading throughout our 
website, sometimes spilling over even into the so-called 
"reality" that we SubGenii are forced to share with the 
humans. The vigorous health of this virus is the result 
of its careful design by an ever-growing team of SubGenius 
coders -- Slack-filled young men and women of Yeti 
descent who are spread, SEEMINGLY randomly, 
throughout the breakthinking world... but are bent on 
breaching all Earthly human political and cultural barriers 
with the searing nonhuman truth of the Word of "Bob": 
J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, that LIVING GOD WHO WALKS 
THIS PLANET EARTH IN HUCKSTER'S SHOES.
