ShamliCon (a Discordian unconvention)
ShamliCon was a Discordian "mini-unconvention" held from 20 to 22 June 2008 (3174 YOLD) in Texas. It was inspired by Discordian Cyberspace Masquerade and KallistiCon. The main participants were four people and a human skull who spent time with a pagan coven and leaders and members of a Shamlicht Kids Club nest.
Origin[]
Many Discordians had participated in the online Discordian Cyberspace Masquerade from May 27 to 31, 2008. Participants used names unknown to other Discordians to create a five-day online society with no preconceived notions of each other. At the end, many people 'unmasked," revealing their usual Discordian name.
- After some of us unmasked at the beginning of June 2008 in the Discordian Cyberspace Masquerade, we discovered that a few of us Discordian types lived relatively close to each other, and that each of us already knew at least one of the others of us. This us being an Anonymous Lifeform and Reverend Loveshade (who shared a mask as Enlarge Your Manhood), Sister Creamy (masked as Good To The Last Drop), and Perlie the Pony Girl and Binky the WonderSkull (who didn't unmask).
- As KallistiCon was scheduled by St. Mae, Johnny Brainwash and others for June 20 - 22, 2008 in California, we decided to get together on that same weekend in Texas. Just to give us an air of meaningless self-importance, we hastily called our little get-together ShamliCon. This was in dishonor of the naked Cherub Princess Shamlicht, who gave the vision to create the now nearing-completion book Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht on 2 July, 2005. It wasn't really a convention, as only the "five" of us were there for most of it (several others joined us for parts of it) and we threw it together at the last minute, but it was a hell of a lot of Erisian fun.[1]
