Three tracks from the NYE 2016 concert are now up on “BandCamp”. Folks can now “pay into the system”.
We need to raise $5,000,000.00 to start our OFFICIAL programme of spreading the Good News via the Circle.
Imagine freeing up key members of TNTS to focus of The Circle 24/7/365/00
All in Service

Earlier this week we had our first three person Circle. It looked like this:
In lieu of catering I took another swing at “The Flavourhast” and prepared an Indian spiced whole chicken in the slow cooker with curried rice:
always good to get confirmation post-event:
Here is what we spun:
Pretty nice, right?
There’s talk of a rare Saturday Night Game on 2/11. Register Thy Interest ASAP.

Many of us are here because of King Crimson. Born on this day in 1969.
But the deeper enigma lies with Mr Gurdjieff. Born on this day in 1866:

We were able to get in yet another Christmas Circle Game Party. Visitor Blim and I had some good times, evidenced here:
We got in 3 circles before going out to lunch:
Pretty nice, right?
We then hosted the annual welcome dinner party for Dave Smart. Got in the first rehearsal of this years’ programme, had a Flavourhast worthy Persian Goat Curry and watched Now Today Week 2015. No photo’s, but some early scenes of Now Today Week 2016 were filmed.

Christmas Eve at the Abington Ale House, always a highlight of the season:
One of the best Christmas’ of recent days. Quite the eclectic crew:
The “realization”:
The OFFICIAL Formal New Years Eve Dinner Party with Concert. The best to date:
I had some sort of hemorrhage in my mustache which gave me trouble throughout the night. As you see, the Tux had to go … In this picture one can admire the blood caked into the ‘stache:
But, it made for a very powerful performance. The band has never sounded better. So great to have Tech Support back in the act. No one can improvise of the auto harp like him. The Nightmare Rock really came alive. Not pictured is “Z Ray”, who played lead guitar for the encore “As You Are”:
Here was the programme, the back page has past performances listed:
yes, everyone’s programme was personalized ^
Pictures never did the tree justice this season. The largest tree yet:
Let’s hope for a healthy, prosperous, present 2017, riddled in triumph and Good Times.
Now Today.

So, on Monday we had our annual Circle Game Christmas Party. Always a high point of the year. What added to the fun was about mid way thru the Home Depot chaps arrived with a new refrigerator! What wasn’t great was they had no intentions of taking the old one away. I managed to get the lads to leave it outside, but, the whole thing was a drag. I did, in fact, order the “disposal”. Later in the day, after a horrid bout of “being on hold” the Home Depot apologized and will take the old fridge away in 9 days for “free”. Moreover, I now possess a $50 gift card for “the future”.
Here are some striking images from the Circle:

Pretty nice, right?
