Even more things happened!

For months now all OOA Apostles have been under the impression that something was going to happen on Saturday June 25th.

Exhibit A & B:

March Newsletter

May Newsletter

Both newsletters indicate an event, however, Gatekeeper 3 (III) alluded to the calendar being ignored.  So I honestly figured that whatever was going to happen on June 25th, wasn't (okay I was kinda hoping).  So I went on forum I think like a week and a half ago basically saying "screw it let's just hang out" on June 26th.  I nailed in a location at Wurstkusch a few days before hand, time set for 7-10p.

Quite a bit of people showed up!  I think in total 16 Apostles including me plus 3 non-participants were present.  Everybody was chatting away and about 7:30p I got a private number call on my phone.  I picked it up and it was a male with a heavy accent.  Here's what I got the first time:

"Melissa, you have a message waiting for you, go to the *garble garble, brain can't process* oh and congratulations from the institute, do you understand"

...

Me:  "....Can you repeat that?" (cranks up hearing aids even higher)

"Melissa, you have a message waiting for you, go to the back bar.  Oh and congratulations from the Institute, do you understand"

Me:  "Yes, thank you" 

*caller hang up*

I think I immediately threw down my phone on the table was like *mind blown*.  I possibly made a noise and waved my arms around like one of these things:

It doesn't take much to impress me and cause arms to flail around.

So I proceed to tell everybody what's going on and people were like "GO".  So more arm flailing and off I went.  

I went to the back bar and told a bartender literately said this "hi I'm Melissa....I'm here for a message?"  The bartender immediately gets to work while I sit tight for whatever is happening.  There weren't too many people at the bar and I quickly pieced together that the bartender was pouring not one but TWO big flights (10 flight glasses per tray) of beer.  She hands them over to me and Russell who was right next to me and hands me a napkin.  Went back to the table with beers  in hand, drinking commenced.  I proceeded to show the message to all, I think a lot of people got a kick out who exactly sent the message.

Thank you Tom! :)

This was an incredibly nice gesture by The Tension Experience and let me say, executed in such a Tension way.  :)   Oh man, there was a table next to us full of people that were incredibly confused when we made cheers to The Institute while shouting "GLORY BE!"  for all of the Arts District to hear.  Someone though actually passed on a flyer to the strangers so hey, we might have recruited a few people last night!

LOL Mike

After that nothing much happened except good times.  Yours truly got quite drunk and did a magic trick, discussed very important topics like fetishes (oh god).  There were a few moments where people just took off out of nowhere but I think they were false Tension alarms or people leaving for VesCorp.   Good job Tension, paranoia instilled because I am still speculating why people were up in a corner talking in shadows.  I won't name your names, I'll just channel Sean R. here "Take that shit to the forum".

Glory Beer!

Anyways thanks to all for coming to last night's little meet up and I hope to see you all again soon at the July 10th meet-up (location and time TBA).

And Tension, thanks again!

Having good times!

Oh some were asking "why the congratulations"?  I suspect it's because of this.
