Countdown?
Apparently the KLF will arrive at News From Nowhere bookshop at 23 seconds after midnight (UK time).
This webpage recently appeared, but contains no clue as to whether it will stream live events, or what.
A little more info at Bidolito
'To celebrate publication of their novel 2023 (Faber & Faber), The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu will arrive in their Ice Kream Van at News From Nowhere on Bold Street in Liverpool at 23 seconds after the clock strikes midnight on the 22nd of August. Or to be more accurate at 00:00:23 on Wednesday the 23rd of August.
They will climb out of their Ice Kream Van and enter the shop.
News From Nowhere is a bookshop. It will be the first bookshop in the world to sell copies of 2023.
The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu will then sell and stamp copies of 2023 to all those that are there and are in need of a copy of the book.
Books will be limited to one copy per customer.
When the last customer’s copy has been stamped The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, will leave the shop; climb back into their Ice Kream Van; drive away and disappear.
2023 has been described as ‘a utopian costume drama set in the near future written in the recent past.’

Welcome to The Dark Ages
Although only 400 tickets went on sale, for this three day event in Liverpool, it seems you might still be able to buy one, as a few people have apparently become nervous after receiving a gnomic email about their role (as 'volunteer' participant - no mere observer).

"The reference to the Jams’ film is also clear enough. This was again announced earlier this year when two DVDs were taped to a wall near Bill Drummond’s London home, which had previously been the site of several Jamsposters announcing their return this year.

A photograph of the discs was tweeted on the official K2 Plant Hire account (another of Drummond and Cauty’s many pseudonyms) without any explanation, but presumably with the full expectation that someone would retrieve the discs and upload their content to youtube. And so it transpired. You can still view that film trailer here" [published 21 March 2017]
Enjoy, ye Chosen Ones!

2023 - The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (sic)
Well we're back again,
They never kicked us out,
twenty thousand years of
SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT
Down through the epochs and out across the continents, generation upon generation of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu have told variants of the same story - an end of days story, a final chapter story. But with one hope, even if the hope at times seems forlorn.
The story contained in this trilogy is the latest telling. Here it is presented as a utopian costume drama, set in the near future, written in the recent past.
Read with care.
REMEMBERED - TOLD - TRANSCRIBED for K 2 Plant Hire Ltd.
Set for publication on 23 August 2017 - through Faber & Faber

Event you missed at the Horse Hospital
Forteans and Discordians have a night out at The Horse Hospital.
We met John Higgs, who has written the definitive book on Tim Leary, and more recently a wondrous book about the KLF, who gave a great talk about Bob, and why his influence remains relevant.
Jon One took the opportunity to burn £20 as part of his ongoing rituals, and you can see his explanation here (to the person who shouted out about how many Syrian children that could have helped).
Bogus just destroyed £5 in the washing machine, death by water rather than fire. Does that count for anything?
Daisy Eris Campbell enthused us with her plans to stage Cosmic Trigger, and we will post links to the second half when it becomes available. She has already received over £400 in £23 contributions, which allowed her to set up This Book Changed My Life Productions.
