I guess it’s time to steer the ship into the 2017-2018 Season.

Who’ll take The Haverhast this year?

So far, E-Saturday 2017 has one film.  The world premiere of “E 15: The Aftermath”.  Filmed in 2002, it depicts various “Extensions characters” gathered at The Great Hall Allston for an evening of The Circle Game.  Filled with profound revelations and teeming with suspense this will surely be a contender.  Coming in under 30 minutes, Vlindinhauer Haverhast has outdone his editing prowess yet again, considering the raw footage was well over 3 hours.

My late summer was spent with the secret danse society, just outside the village of Souel in southern France.

On August 21st, we had another great circle and initiation.  Ryan M joined us for two full 3-person Circles.

Captain Cat readies for the Eclipse:

After lunch Herr O joined the extremely rare event:

Then, it was time to view the Eclipse:

We were even blessed by a special appearance of last years winner of “Honourable Mention”, Holly:

Even fellow building Citizen, Christian O, Brother Jerome’s brother-in-law, joined the viewing:

All disbanded but Herr O and I, who not only had an Ablution by Sea, we made our way to two of the Sisters, including a visit to the legendary Rock of Sanity.

Here is the set list, tracks 1-24 represent the 2 full 3 person Circles.  Thereafter we were “on call mingling” with Herr O:

Pretty Nice, right?

Happy Anniversary to Herr O and Eileen.

Happy Birthday to Tech Support.

This will most likely be the last post

for a couple weeks.  Thursday I set off for 10 days with the secret danse society, no wifi access …

Try not to fuck everything up in my absence.

I recently “stumbled upon” this wildly entertaining and historic document created by Mr Y. It depicts aspects of the Circle Game as seen remotely:

After years of talk, F2 managed to make his debut in the Circle:

Captain Cat remained aloof:

After two Circle’s we went to D’Parma:

We returned for a third circle.  Here is what was played:

So, yesterday we hosted a Circle Game to honour BMF’s birthday.  Let’s let the photographs tell the story:

Pretty nice, right?

So, last Sunday, Visitor Blim and I took the train to NY3 and met Tech Support.  From there we went “One Way to Red Bank” New Jersey to see King Crimson play. The concert featured two sets of music, the highlight being a suite of material from “Lizard”.  On the train down Blim and I managed 4 circles.  They looked like this:

Pretty nice, right?

Here are some of the Good Times:

On the journey home, 3 more circles:

I stopped at Little Asia before making it home.  This seemed a fitting piece of paper that came in the cookie that comes with the check:

For those interested in more of a “full immersion” experience of the “One Way to Red Bank” adventure, the 42 minute film awaits:

(Like all TNTS films, best on the big screen)

Pretty nice, right?

On the eve of the annual Summer Wrap Party on the fourth, The Summer Nightmare Ensemble played a concert at Das Beach Häus. We opened for BMF’s act “Myocaster Coypus”.  Here is the cleaned up video, a little sloppy at times, but, still: beautiful:
