The Midsummer Nightmare Ensemble

2012 has been a very fruitful year thus far, and now, one of the fruits from last Summer is being made available:

 

 

Available for download or on Compact disk

Possible vinyl option in the future.

for those interested in any Now Today Fortnight activities this year, you may want to familiarize yourself with this opus.

A wee absurd, but, like everything else: makes total sense

 

Yes friends, in April 2013 an incredible week is planned, culminating in Black Sabbath Monday XIII.

Sadly, the new “Black Sabbath Monday Sunday” will be a bit compromised.

What am I talking about here?

 

 

 

 

The Mission to See The Mission III: Stonehenge

Yes, its a working title, but The Mission and Stonehenge are included.

 

Apparently the newly-ish reformed almost original line up are playing 3 gigs on a boat in Bristol:

 

Blood Brothers

For these small gigs the lads are going by a different name, perhaps to keep the numbers lower than usual at this unusual venue with a capacity of 400.

But whilst back in The Kingdom of the Britons, we may visit STONEHENGE!

We may visit the even grander and more esoteric Avebury.

This short adventure will also include a trip to Glastonbury to visit the Abbey and pay our respects to King Arthur, founding member of Planet Earth’s division of The Now Today Society.

We’ll be staying in Bristol and we may even board this SHIP.

A possible time travel adventure may be sorted out, especially if we visit the Doctor.

In other news, Visitor Blim will be hosting the Society’s annual Horror Film Night, and Extensions Saturday is in just over 5 weeks.

Good Times

Saturday we attended the Wedding of my cousin Peter.  Me, the WIfe, Janice, and Jim (the King) got ready at Chets (now Martini’s) first.  Janice led the way into the new Sacred Heart Church via the back door near where we parked, a people avoiding maneuver that also allowed us to slyly exit and get to the reception also without bother.

 

Good Times ensued.

 

Jim did end up with 15 stitches when all was said and done:

 

Columbus

 

I’m just back from my annual time in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  Three days of stone wall building, stone fire pit building, stone wall/five seat bench building, evening feasting of sea bass and lamb, zen and the art of archery, yoga, hiking, ATVing, log splitting, secluded mountain pool ablutions, etc …

 

 

now, it’s time ….

 

I hope you are all preparing for Extensions Saturday 2012, it promises to be “the greatest Event yet”.

Janice and the Start of the 2012-13 Season

~~~

With the Autumnal Equinox hitting Saturday morning, it must mean it’s time for Janice’s 44th birthday again, and the start of the 2012-13 Season.

 

Word has it that Janice will be staying at the illustrious Inn at Crystal Cove from Friday to Monday.

Activities to include:

Friday Night night-cap 

Saturday Morning Breakfast at the Pour House, a trip to the Salon, then a Saturday Evening Night-cap.

If there be enough interest, perhaps a film event here that evening …

Sunday morning: 9AM ferry to Boston then the 10AM ferry to Salem.

The Salem trip is a guaranteed Good Time that you don’t want to miss!!!

Make contact if interested in any of these OFFICIAL Events.

 

… as a reminder:

The Minister

~~~

On Sunday The Wife and I went to what we calculated to be our 20th Wedding together.

This was the second time I was asked to be the Officiant.

So, doing the maths, I reckon it to be 10% of Weddings I go to I Officiate.

Here are a few images I found on the internet of The Minister at Work:

This Just in …

One of the Now Today correspondents recently unearthed this “lost” photograph.

Vlindinhauer Haverhast as Kurt Wells and Sabitathica as DJS

Looks like they were just exiting a Sbarro, I suspect “on the road” between Boston and the more Western part of the Commonwealth.

Not for Sale.
