Celebrate Winter Solstice 2009 Bring Back the Sun! ~Update: The party was a great success! I am quite confident that the sun will return after our chanting, prayer to Marduk, fire walking, fire twirling and general merriment. You can see the pictures I took of the chanting and fire twirling here. Here’s our bonfire. Click the above link or the picture to see the whole album. Jim, thank you so much for hosting a great party. It was great fun.
So we thought it would be fun to make a video for youtube chronicling our meteoric rise to fame and glory. Or something like that. We have settled on a theme. Theme: How the relatively small town of Morgantown, WV got its own godless billboard.
You don’t have to participate, but we’d love to have your thoughts and ideas. One thing we’ll definitely include is some of the emails we’ve received because of the billboard. If you have other ideas for what it should include, comment below!

Monday afternoon we need to all meet under our shiny new billboard on the Mileground to get a great group picture! Which means we need YOU! The time will probably be around 5:30 pm or a bit after, so that people can meet after work. Email Neece or leave a comment letting us know you’ll be there. This is very important that we get this picture, hopefully with lots of people, so please try to come. The billboard location is near Melvin’s Transmission on Mileground Road, westbound into town. Here’s the map for the billboard on Google. The street view really shows you the situation. Brent scouted the area for us. He recommends coming in from 68, not through Morgantown as the traffic at that time of day is pretty bad. Drive most of the way down the Mileground, past the car dealerships, and the… |
