There is an urgent need for Degicankians to revive the Timequake festival. How about booking it as an open to the public alchemy/ Daily Supplement/ Planet 22 show at the Crowbar?
Daily Supplement has got the in to secure the venue we just need to finalize details and request off work!!!!
Remember we have no choice.

There is no problem with the degicankfest. The band booking is not open to the public or debate. If you are so interested this year where were you last year when the degicankfest was canceled (don't tell me you can have a degicankfest with out the birthday guy Corey L.) because there was no interest or motivation from our state college office. It was just like Chuck's trash problem, A lot of people like to boast of their invovlement with Chuck's or degicankfest, but they refuse to turn the tv of for 5 minutes to lend a hand.
-Degicankfest on, as like everyyear volunteers will be requested for planning and follow through after the first of the year. MMV will be hopefully forgoten as the year we trusted the SC office to put on their big kid pants and complete a small task. Degicankfest set up will go back to the High Council Garrage. Please don't start offering spots to bands because the schedule is already booked. Sorry, 99.9% of DEGICANK is democratic, but do to the complete collapse last year we have had to take the degicankfest back up to the executive level.

Lets not shot ourselves in the foot here.
Degicank helps those whom help themselves.
Support and motivation are the best policies in this area.
The punishment is not fitting the crime here.
Move on...

Degicankfest 2006? Where? Why?
VFW not popular by any means these days. McCormick has a hard enough time turning out ten dudes for a party let alone a birthday party for a gifted 35+ year old individual.
Please remit the "Timequake" title from the February annual event and give us back OUR Degicankfest.

Any ideas for the Degicankfest this year? Instead of all this scrutiny about last years, yes, lets put our big kids pants on and talk about plans for 2006. It is coming up quick.

This is an outrage! I demand a deligation be sent to investigate the validity of these accusations! Hey lets get that Crobar degicankfest rolling, as you know planet 22 has a relationship with the crobar that goes back to before the underground days. Maybe Quagmire can come up with red rocket p22 and the suppliment. Appalachian Alchemy has been booked at degicankfests from the first timequake to the 2nd and third irish car bomb fest.

Very Little to worry about with those web designers. They got nothin on Degicank. Dumb Brits. Of course, it may have helped if someone had Trademarked Planet 22 years ago.....but I wouldn't worry too much. Besides, does Planet 22 actually exist in this space and time. Because right now, I am not so sure. Are there any public viewings of this infamous Planet 22 band in the near future?

In the Simpson’s episode “Bart’s Comet”, Springfield is under imminent threat of total destruction by a comet hurtling towards the earth. The town’s best minds get together and decide to launch a rocket at the comet, but their rocket misses its target and plummets back to earth, destroying the only bridge out of town. Cut to the floor of the U.S. Congress, where a bill is tabled to provide funding for the evacuation of Springfield. Just before the vote, a congressman adds a rider to the bill providing $30 million “for the perverted arts.” The bill is defeated. Cut to news anchor Kent Brockman, who turns to his viewing audience with this summary: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: democracy simply does not work.” This was a sentiment that occurred to me often in the days after 9/11, as I tried somehow to reconcile the horror of watching the two tallest buildings in New York collapse live on television with the extraordinarily banal responses put forward by the elected leaders of the worlds’ democracies – especially that self-proclaimed last best hope for humanity, the United States of America. Even before the fires had gone out in the pile of rubble that was once the World Trade Center, America’s leaders had carefully surveyed the damage. Had considered its enormous impact on everyday life. And then had risen as one in a brave chorus, imparting their sage advice to a shaken nation. The advice? Go shopping. By the tragedy’s two-week anniversary, President Bush had called for “continued participation and confidence in the American economy.” New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani advised, “Just spend a little money.” Vice-President Dick Cheney was urging “a normal level of economic activity.” Senator Bob Graham explained that buying a new car was “an act of patriotism.” The president’s brother, Jeb, added going to a restaurant and taking a cruise to the list of patriotic acts. Senator John McCain, beloved for his straight-talking ways, cut succinctly through the politicking. “We need,” he explained, “to spend money.” No longer living after history, we in the West, and in many other places, were instantly awake to a new and grave reality. We were horrified but resolute, finally ready to move beyond the trivialities of reality TV and day trading and a new pair of Nikes. But in the weeks and then months after 9/11, not a single one of the great leaders of our peerless West – these lands of the free, cradles of civilization, beacons of liberty and justice, wellsprings of unparalleled opportunity and prosperity – not a single one could articulate even a vague notion of what it was we were defending. All agreed it had to be defended, but none had a clue what would help on the home front. Except this: we were being told, in emphatic terms, that the thing we were defending and the way to defend it were one and the same; we were the great globalized Republic of Buying Stuff, and we should bravely go on buying stuff to protect our right – our most basic, most cherished right – to buy more stuff. We will never know just how great an opportunity was lost, how much passionate momentum squandered. Here were the people of virtually the entire world rising as one, ready to sacrifice, wanting to help. Who knows how many oversights could have been corrected, inequalities eliminated, hypocrisies inverted? Who knows what glorious civilization could have emerged from the ashes of those towers? One thing is for certain: our national leaders on that day failed us completely – particularly those of the United States. America’s primacy of place and supremacy of power in world affairs, be they economic, political, military or cultural, has never been more apparent than in the wake of 9/11, when, as if in some half-witted Hollywood movie, the whole world looked to its leaders for direction. And was told to go shopping. But then who among the world’s political leaders on that day of infamy would have been capable of oratory – of leadership, of a sense of purpose – on the level of FDR (or Lincoln or Churchill or Gandhi, or even Trudeau or Kennedy)? Tony Blair, whose posh accent and classical oratorical skills hide the facts that his political philosophy was cribbed from Bill Clinton and his moral philosophy isn’t really that much more complex than Bush’s? Kofi Annan, whose entire job seems to consist of saying absolutely nothing of consequence in a superficially substantial manner? The answer, of course, is neither of these – and no one else. We’re rudderless, completely adrift. Or, worse, the people with their hands on the rudder have ferocious, tragically misguided convictions, driving us full steam into the abyss prophesied by W.B. Yeats in “The Second Coming”: Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
The passionate intensity of the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks collides with the passionate intensity of the architects of the “war on terror,” and in the anarchic din of the collision there is no insight, no dawning awareness, no new direction pointing to a place where these collisions are no longer possible. Tragically, the one piece of oratory that truly resonated with the American public after 9/11 had no wisdom in it at all. It was merely a captain’s order: full speed ahead. It was a line President Bush borrowed from a regular-guy-turned hero on one of the incinerated airplanes, a line that’s closer to Nike’s “Just Do It” tagline than to anything Lincoln ever said: “Let’s roll.” *******************************************

As a old friend once held in high regard, once said....
"there is another"
There is always another. A new hope. A unassumed destiny that rings with the mask of truth and righteousness. But hell, it is a nice thing to believe in, so instead of being such a gloomy gus on the shite state of affairs our reprehensible world is in, why not try to look towards the brighter, lighter said of life. Laugh with big hunky chunky hearts and never pretend we have ruined anything sacred because nothing is as sacred as what we have right at that moment. We are still wonderful people. Miracles happen every day. Conspiracies only hold as much water as a diaper and sooner or later we are all going to have to pee like adults.

typical hippie nonsense - nothing matters except what you say matters, only the priveleged few who are lucky to be included in your sphere of existence deserve any thought. good luck with that drippy hippie goo. i hear it washes off in hippie heaven, the faucets run with the blood of the millions of slaughtered innocent people because I say they are not sacred. you don't have to dwell on these things, or walk around with wrinkled brow and heavy hearts everyday, or go 'protest' at some ego-fest in D.C., but sometimes it helps, no is essential, to acknowledge the debt that has been paid for the freedom we kids so nonchalantly utilize as our unalienable american rights. so is the timequake happening? or is it only in your mind? "there are deeper things still than those that exist within man's burgeoning mind" - remembered line from a forgotten poem, author unknown
