Press Release about SubGenius 5th Annual Devival i
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TEXAS SUBGENIUS DEVIVAL LOOMS AS
PRETENSE FOR FRINGEWARE 5TH ANNIVERSARY
IN AUSTIN - GOVT OFFICIALS DENY
COVERT ACTS TO PREVENT THE ALLEGED
"RUSH FOR 'BOB'" MASS GATHERING
DALLAS, TEXAS - August 8, 1997.
At a press conference held here today, officials from the
Church of the SubGenius, in conjunction with an Austin-
based media collective and quasi-militia organization
known as FringeWare Inc., have announced heretofore
covert plans to stage a "Devival" in AUSTIN, TEXAS on
SEPTEMBER 13 of this year, beginning at or around 8 PM
in a nightclub known as LA ZONA ROSA. Such events are
considered highly illegal and subject to decisive
intervention by the authorities.
"There will probably be a helluva a lot of inebriated
strippers and plenty of extremely dangerous drugs there,"
Mr. Paco Nathan, president of FringeWare Inc., (and an
alleged SubGenius), was overheard saying to some friends
during the swank, three-hour press conference with Ivan
Stang and other Church officials held at the Caberet Royale
in Dallas this afternoon.
FringeWare is known to be celebrating its upcoming 5th
anniversary through various terrorist acts, while the Church
is rumored to be eagerly anticipating its first Devival held
in its home state Texas in over 5 years. Also, there have
been reports to the effect that another Austin business,
Steve Jackson Games, may be harboring matters of interest
to the secretive SubGenius cult-like community, possibly to
be revealed closer to the announced date of the event.
Officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms based in the Texas region have refused comment,
but one undisclosed source close to the BATF claimed that
the government had been tracking such Devival gatherings
-- code words for what he termed as "Riotous Orgies" --
and will probably take the organizers into custody long
before any such disturbance could actually be perpetrated.
Meanwhile, a State Department official noted, off-record,
that the translation of the Spanish phrase "La Zona Rosa"
meaning "Red Light District" would tend to corroborate the
allegedly planned act. "We hear about these things
happening," the official remarked, "and we oftentimes just
don't have time to respond, let alone buy tickets." Tickets
for the gathering are rumored to be about 5 bucks, and will
be available at the door just prior to the show.
FringeWare and The Church of the SubGenius are known
to have collaborated on the Survival Research Laboratories
"show" held earlier this year in Austin, where 20 people
were killed and 37 members of the audience were arrested
in a brutal knifing incident which resulted from some of the
show's "artistic" content.
Both the Church, which has been featured in Playboy,
Newsweek and Wired and some other little zines, and
FringeWare, which has also been featured in Playboy,
Newsweek and Wired and some other little zines, are
widely known to engage is vociferous anti-authoritarian
acts such as Devivals, where participants often become
frenzied, shocked, and touched by the Words of their
"god" J. R. "BOB" Dobbs, as they engage in acts including
healings, sickenings, sacrifices, Public Confessionals,
Short Duration Mass Marriages, Time Control Ceremonies,
Record Burnings, and Head Launchings. Various bands and
other performance artists are rumored to be ready to
participate in this unwholesome miasma, including the
Church's Sacred Scribe Reverand Ivan Stang, Rev. Nickie
DeathChick, Dr. K'taden Legume, the Lord Jesus Christ as
well as The Christal Methodists, Drop Cycle, and an array
of local Austin subversives. Other potential acts, bands,
strippers and other performers HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TO
CONTACT FringeWare at the address listed below.
Local authorities in Austin noted dourly in the wake of
today's press conference that the date of the potential
mayhem nearly coincides with the local fraternity/sorority
"Rush Week" held annually at the University of Texas at
Austin and other area institutions. "We fear that these
people are intending to hold some kind of unholy ritutual,
under the guise of 'Rush For "BOB"'," said a member of
the City of Austin planning commission, "and it's just a
damn shame how criminals like this always prey upon our
youth."
Jesus, the Church's business director, also said in a
prepared statement today that He denies any conspiratorial
or subversive plot that in any way is attempting to corrupt
the youth or undermine and ridicule the authority of the
One World Government, it's agents, or its prescribed
religion. "There is no reason that any, good, law abiding,
Christian, teenager should avoid coming to this
inspirational event... and more especially those of the
female gender." He also added, "The reports of the bloody
head launchings have been greatly exaggerated"
