Sunday, February 23rd, 4pm

Come and join the Discordians Heaven-bent on resurrecting the ideas of Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of Illuminatus!

Fresh dispatches from John Higgs, author of "The KLF - Chaos, Magic and the Band that Burned a Million Pounds", with his talk: "I Blame Liverpool".

Never-before-seen filmed interview with Alan Moore, discussing all matters RAW.

Daisy Eris Campbell brings us up-to-date on the synchronic forces aligning in her mission to stage Cosmic Trigger.  Includes scenes from the play, with music, magick, puppetry, projections - and acting.
If you want to help us pull the Cosmic Trigger, there is nowhere else to be.

You can reserve your place HERE and it's £5 on the door. It's a good idea to reserve, but please don't unless you really are coming, otherwise well, it will be chaos - and we wouldn't want that ;)

Austin Osman Spare

On 14th November 2010 I managed to get to the last day of the “Austin Osman Spare: Fallen Visonary” exhibition featuring the art of Austin Osman Spare at The Cuming Museum.

Jerusalem Press has published a lavish book to accompany this exhibition called Austin Osman Spare: Cockney Visionary Conceived, Compiled and Edited by Stephen Pochin.

The book also includes a documentary which lasts about 30 minutes called The Bones Go Last.

The books contents include:

An introduction: Robert Ansell

A cartographic study: Gavin W Semple

Biographical essay: Geraldine Beskin (of Atlantis bookshop)

Magical essay: Michael Staley (who organised a great AOS night in London commemorating 50 years since his death in 2006)

Essays by the curators: Christopher Jordan and Stephen Pochin

Commentaries on the works featured: Dr. William Wallace

They are also set to publish a new version of Spare’s Book of Pleasure which will have an introduction by Alan Moore.

EARTH INFERNO 1905

NUDE HOLDING A CRYSTAL BALL 1914-20

THEURGY 1928

DREAM CONTENT HOPES, FEARS AND HALF-COGNIZANT 1954

Short video clip from an episode of The Culture Show (BBC UK 2010):

ALAN MOORE READS FROM "MASKS OF THE ILLUMINATI"

Dodgem Logic website

Dodgem Logic

It seems very likely that any visitor here (regular, occasional, or entirely new) might enjoy the work of Alan Moore, in one form or another, so we recommend a visit to the Dodgem Logic website for a little tantalising brain stimulation.

So far three editions have appeared, each with 'extras' like CDs, transfers, etc. Edition #2 comes with 3 alternative covers (take yer pick, or get completist about it).

No point in explaining, if you don't know Alan Moore, best just to direct you to Wikipedia, I guess.

Or maybe his entry at the Comic Book Database.

And of course, our own previous entries - Alan's wonderful appearance at RAW's great sending off...introduced by the late, lamented and much missed Ken Campbell. Back in Sept 2007.

And how are you tonight, Mr Wilson? from Alan Moore

A longer edit of the London Tribute to Raw remains available online here.

Hot News

I just heard that the full version of the London Tribute to Robert Anton Wilson has gone online.

You can find it here.

Lots of stuff to enjoy. You may have watched excerpts here (Alan Moore, his exceptional second set), and elsewhere...but it's worth putting up with the sound quality (or is that just my PC?) [later: OK, it sounded fine on a Mac] to hear the astonishing Ken Campbell, hilarious Bill Drummond and two sets from Alan Moore, quite aside from the music and visuals, and Bob's wonderful words. Much hilaritas!

I only have one anecdote provoked by watching the whole thing (I missed the live moment). I saw the first show at the National, and I decided to take a friend to the shorter version they did in The Roundhouse. On the night I took my girl-friend of the time (who wasn't especially a fan of the material) an announcement was made that Prunella Gee was ill, and, at short notice, her part was going to be taken by Ken Campbell (!) I guess he remembers that night. She played (for instance) Mavis, so his opening routine was breaking George out of jail and giving him a blow-job (hidden only by a discretely placed prop plant...) It got even funnier, later.

And How Are You Tonight, Mr Wilson?

Cult author Alan Moore pays tribute to Robert Anton Wilson at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London March 2007.



Definitely worth five minutes of your time, if you loved Bob...and his works.
