Visit A Totally Normal World<\/em><\/a><\/small>
\nThis is the Ning group set up for the extravaganza where I’ll be spending my weekend. On Saturday I’ll be riffing on “Magic for World Domination!” I wonder what I’ll say…<\/p>\n

(See the blog post about The Totally Normal Event<\/a> below for more info.)<\/p>\n

What kind of bizarre mind conceives of such an event? Here is Jeff Mach’s “About Me” from the organizing site that the picture above sends you to:<\/p>\n

Past the blasted barrens, beyond the goblin heath
\nWhere all light is from fire, and even time has teeth,
\nBeyond the sight of sanity–where all things may occur,
\nWhere smoke takes shapes which waken memories that never were,
\nSitting on a medium-sized bluish rock
\nis a fax machine.
\nIt works pretty well, considering that it’s plugged into a
\nbasilisk,
\nbut it’s very rare for a moment to go by
\nwithout it being chewed by a hydra,
\nstepped on by a brachiosaur,
\ncursed by the Warlock of the Everpain Tower,
\nhacked by the Cyberfreaks,
\nmolecularly displaced by freakish atom storms,
\nworshiped by 13th-century Flemish knights,
\ndusted for fingerprints,
\nmind-melded,
\nshot at,
\nnibbled on,
\nor sliced into sushi and thrown, at random, through the
\ngateways of a billion pinstriped alternate worlds.
\nWhich means that sometimes, just sometimes, the message comes
\nout a little funny.
\nSo. That’s where I get my ideas.
\nWhere do you get yours?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So now you know!
